When I arrived, the land was a blanket of yellow sand,
As I leave, the grass is lush and green.
The fiery sunset lingers still,
Isn’t that a signal light of the earth?

The Ferris wheel turns slowly,
Like a compass, like the stars,
Like a moment in history.
Perhaps now is the time to contemplate your beauty,
Then leave my footprints,
And depart like a gust of wind.

在剑桥的最后一天

来时遍地黄沙
去时绿草如茵
火红的落日犹在
这便是大地的信号灯啊
 
摩天轮仍在缓缓转动，
如同罗盘，如同星辰，
亦如同历史的瞬息
或许此刻我要开始思考你的美丽
然后留下脚印，
潇洒地离去
