Sea

海洋生物的灭绝常常与陆地生物同时发生。再一次,冰河时代的灭绝使许多大型动物灭绝,但没有多少海洋动物灭绝。
I once saw a lump of Greenland breaking off into the sea and moving south, which of course will affect the atmosphere and us generally, and it'll happen more and more.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

A long sea implies an uniform and steady motion of long and extensive waves; on the contrary, a short sea is when they run irregularly, broken, and interrupted; so as frequently to burst over a vessel's side or quarter.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
在人类的事务中有一种潮流,它在大浪中掀起,带来财富。如果略去,他们一生的旅途都是在浅滩和苦难中度过的。我们现在漂浮在这样一个波涛汹涌的大海上。我们必须顺应潮流,否则我们的冒险就会失败。
This is the sea of life, and I'm drownin I know I can swim, but feel like I keep sinkin down in these waters and I cain't breathe, I feel like I'm gon' blow it. I can see people holdin a life jacket but they won't throw it. Entertained by my struggle and they'd love to see me die.
这是生命的海洋,而我却淹没在其中。我知道我会游泳,但我感觉自己一直在下沉,无法呼吸,我感觉我要把它吹走了。我能看到人们拿着救生衣,但他们不会扔。我的挣扎让他们很开心,他们很乐意看到我死去。
