Here let us carve a lake basin; there, a Yosemite Valley; here, a channel for a river with fluted steps and brows for the plunge of songful cataracts.

这里让我们雕刻一个湖盆；那里，优胜美地山谷；在这里，一条河流的通道有凹槽的台阶和眉毛，适合歌唱的白内障。

And when we call to mind that thousands of these rejoicing rills are assembled in each one of the main streams, we wonder the less that our Sierra rivers are songful all the way to the sea.

当我们想起成千上万条欢欣鼓舞的小溪聚集在每条主要溪流中时，我们就不会怀疑我们的塞拉利昂河流一直歌唱到大海。
