Trees are a pinnacle,

树木位于顶端
A perfect living sculpture.

是完美的生命雕塑
Trees defy gravity.

树木对抗重力
They are the only natural element

他们是唯一不断向天空生长的
In perpetual movement toward the sky.

自然界元素
They grow unhurriedly toward the sun that nourishes their foliage.

他们不慌不忙地向着太阳伸展着枝杈
They have inherited from those minuscule cyanobacteria...

他们继承了这些微小蓝细菌
The power to capture light's energy.

俘获光能的能力
They store it and feed off it,

他们将光能储藏起来以此为生
Turning it into wood and leaves,

并将其转化成了木头及树叶
Which then decompose into a mixture of water,

之后这些再分解成为水
Mineral, vegetable and living matter.

矿物质植物以及活质的混合物
