每天我都要走过这棵铁树的旁边。
每天我都会看见这棵翠绿的铁树。
每天当我走过这棵铁树的旁边看见它时，心中总会起一种崇敬并且由衷地赞美它。
铁树，它的名字是用铁铸造成的。
花是少见的。它是不以花向人炫耀的。
静默地站立着，向上，向外，它伸展出铁般坚硬的深绿手臂，如雀屏，又像英雄的拔剑起誓。坚毅，勇敢，素洁，诚朴，所有的自我都在这静默中展现无余了。
在暖春之际，虽然风和日丽，它是那个样子。
在仲夏之午，虽然炎热逼人，它是那个样子。
在隆冬之日，虽然寒冷彻骨，它是那个样子。
在风雨之时，虽然淋湿摇曳，它是那个样子。
外来的任何力量对于它都是没有什么影响的。
该崇敬的；但崇敬不崇敬对于它都是一样。
该赞美的；但赞美不赞美对于它都是一样。
可是我仍然禁不住要献出我的崇敬和赞美，
当我每次走过这棵铁树的旁边看见它之时。
A sago cycas Hsu ChiCheng
I pass by the sago cycas everyday.
I see this green sago cycas everyday.
A feeling of respect and praise always arises in my mind while I pass by it and see it everyday.
Sago cycas, its name is cast by the iron.
It’s seldom the flower. It doesn’t make a display of its flower.
Stands silent upwards, outwards, it spreads its iron-like hard green arms like a peacock in his pride, like a hero pledges with a sword. Resolute, courage, pure and honest, all its own selves are stretched within.
Thus posture when it is bathing in the warm spring.
Thus posture when it is scorching in the hot summer.
Thus posture when it is trembling in the chill winter.
Thus posture when it is swaying in the storm.
There are no any influence from the outer power.
Ought to be respect ; but it’s the same whether there has respect or not.
Ought to be praise; but it’s the same whether there has praise or not.
However I can not help present my respect and praise still,
When I pass by this sago cycas and see it every time.@
