草不像树木能昂然迎风
它们根基浅，茎干软
于是只有顺从风的意愿
风向哪边吹，它们就倒向哪边

高大的树却不同
它们根基深，茎干也强悍
它们总要向风发出挑战
这造就了树的性格，
已经成为它处世的习惯

不止如此，草和树的命也不同
草的寿命一般都短
枯荣通常只在一年间
而树的寿命却很长
一般可活数十年

于是我们就会理解
它们的生活哲学
草因缺乏实力而被迫顺从
而树则因刚劲而敢于挑战

Grass, Trees, and Wind

Grass doesn't stand against the wind
As their roots are shallow 
And stems are soft
They have to obey the wind
Falling to the side whichever It calls for

However, tall trees are different
Their roots are deeper
And stems are stronger
They would rather challenge
By their virtues of characters
And by their habits of dealing with nature

More than that, their lives are also different
The grass usually has a short life-span
Withering and flourishing in a year
While trees can live longer for several years

Then we will understand their philosophy of life
Grass has to obey the wind due to its weakness
While tree challenges it by  its strength
