The first thing which Tom saw was the black cedars, high and sharp against the rosy dawn; and St. Brandan's Isle reflected double in the still broad silver sea.

汤姆首先看到的是黑色的雪松，在玫瑰色的黎明映衬下显得高大而尖锐。圣布兰登岛倒映在依然宽阔的银色大海中。

But whether men can see it or not, St. Brandan's Isle once actually stood there; a great land out in the ocean, which has sunk and sunk beneath the waves.

但不管人们是否看到，圣布兰登岛曾经真实地矗立在那里；大海中的一片大地，在波浪下沉没了。

But, on still clear summer evenings, when the sun sinks down into the sea, among golden cloud-capes and cloud-islands, and locks and friths of azure sky, the sailors fancy that they see, away to westward, St. Brandan's fairy isle.

但是，在仍然晴朗的夏日傍晚，当太阳沉入海中，在金色的云海和云岛之间，在蔚蓝的天空中，水手们幻想他们看到了，向西，圣布兰登的仙女小岛。
