如果你想要造一艘船，你所需要做的不是敲着鼓把人赶到树林里取来木材，锯木板，然后把木板钉起来。

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to go to the forest to gather wood, saw it, and nail the planks together.

夏天里，我曾经发现了一个苍松的木筏，是造铁路的时候，爱尔兰人钉起来的，树皮都还保留着。

In the course of the summer I had discovered a raft of pitch pine logs with the bark on, pinned together by the Irish when the railroad was built.
