The branches of a tree, the vessels of the sap that it brought to the earth. 树叶的枝杆 降临地面甘露的导管
The paths it traced are like the veins of a body, 它所留下的痕迹仿佛身体的血管
And gradually the freshwater of the oceans... 逐渐的 海洋中的淡水
They tore minerals from the rocks, 河流冲刷岩石中带走矿物质
They ran toward the lowest places on the globe to form the oceans. 河流向地表低处汇集 形成了海洋
The rivers shaped the surface of the earth, 河流塑造了地表的形状
The earth was able to conserve water in liquid form. 地球能够将水以液体形式存贮起来
At the right distance from the sun, 位于距太阳的恰当距离
But the earth had an exceptional future, 然而地球拥有一个特殊的未来
