A little boy is on his knees scooping and packing the sand with plastic shovels into a bright blue bucket. Then he upends the bucket on the surface and lifts it. And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower is created. 男孩跪在那儿用塑料铲挖沙子，并把沙子装在一个鲜艳的蓝桶里。然后他把蓝桶倒 扣在地上,把它提起。让这“小建筑师”高兴的是:一座城堡的塔楼就这样诞生了。 All afternoon he will work scooping out the moat and packing the walls. Bottle tops will be sentries. Sticks will be bridges. A sandcastle will be built. 他会干一下午：挖护城河，建城墙，用瓶盖做岗哨，用木棍做桥，就这样，一座城堡建成了。 Big city. Busy streets. Rumbling traffic. 某个大城市，喧嚣的街道、川流不息的交通。 A man is in his office. At his desk he puts papers into stacks and assigns tasks. The phone is on his shoulder and he is knocking the keyboard with his fingers. Contracts are signed and much to the delight of the man, a profit is made. 办公室里有一位男士。坐在办公桌前，他把文件堆叠在一起,布置任务。他将电话夹在肩头，手指敲击键盘。合同签字生效,让这位男士高兴的是，一笔盈利就这样到手了。 All his life he will work, formulating the plans, forecasting the future. Profits will be sentries. Capital gains will be bridges. An empire will be built. |
