God has pity on kindergarten children,

上帝对幼儿园的孩子是仁慈的

对上学的要差一些。

He pities school children -- less.

而成年人，他丝毫不怜悯他们。

But adults he pities not at all.

他不再管他们，

He abandons them,

有时，他们必须匍匐

And sometimes they have to crawl on all fours

在滚烫的沙子里

In the scorching sand

向救护站爬去，

To reach the dressing station,

他们身上一直在流血。

Streaming with blood.

也许对真正的恋人

But perhaps

他会怜悯，同情，

He will have pity on those who love truly

并提供庇荫，

And take care of them

像一棵树，遮掩着公园里睡在长凳上的某个人。

And shade them

Like a tree over the sleeper on the public bench.

也许连我们都应该把母亲留下的

最后几枚善良的硬币

Perhaps even we will spend on them

递给他们，

Our last pennies of kindness

Inherited from mother,

为了使他们的幸福会保护我们

在现在和其它的日子里。

So that their own happiness will protect us

Now and on other days.
