Men go abroad to wonder the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

    los hombres van al extranjero para admirar las alturas de las montañas, las enormes olas del mar, los largos cursos de los ríos, la vasta brújula del océano, los movimientos circulares de las estrellas; y pasan por sí mismos sin asombro.

    menn drar til utlandet for å lure på fjellhøydene, ved de enorme bølgene i havet, ved elvenes lange baner, ved det store havkompasset, ved stjernenes sirkulære bevegelser; og de går forbi seg selv uten å lure på.

    人们出国旅行时,想知道山脉的高处,大海的巨浪,河流的漫长河道,广阔的海洋罗盘,恒星的圆周运动;他们毫不奇怪地过去了。
