漢譯英：流逝，表現了南國人對時間最早的感覺。“子在川上曰，逝者如斯夫。”他們發現無論是潺潺小溪，還是浩蕩大河，都一去不復返，流逝之際青年變成了老翁而綠草轉眼就枯黃，很自然有錯陰的緊迫感。流逝也許是緩慢的，但無論如何緩慢，對流逝的恐懼使人們必須用“流逝”這個詞來時時警戒后人，必須急匆匆地行動，給這個詞灌注一種緊張感。
They realized that both the babbling brook and the mighty river would flow on, and that their waters would never return. They found that as time passed by, young men would become old and the green grass would turn yellow and wither in almost the blink of an eye. A sense of urgency naturally arose over the elusiveness of time. No matter how slowly time flowed, the very fear of its transiency compelled people to use the word“passage to warn the coming generations of the necessity”of taking prompt action; thus instilling the word with a sense of tension.
