Yes, I'm beautiful. I've heard it before and it never grows old.

I'm worshiped for my looks, my scent, my looks.

人们崇拜我的长相，我的气味，我的容貌。

But here's the thing. Life starts with me.

但是事情是这样的，生活由我而起。

You see I feed people. Every fruit comes from me.

你看，我在哺育人类。每个水果来自于我。

Every potato. Me.

Every kernel of corn. Me. Every grain of rice. Me.

Me, me, me, I know. But it's true.

And sometimes I feed their souls.

有时人类的心灵也会需要我。

I am their words when they have none.

当你无法表达时候，我可以帮你说出。

I say “I love you,” without a sound. “I'm sorry,” without a voice.

I inspire the greatest of them.

我是启发伟人的源泉。

Painters, poets, pattern makers. I've been a muse to them all.

画家，诗人，模型师。我一直是他们的缪斯。

But in my experience, people underestimate the power of a pretty little flower.

但以我的经验，人们低估了一朵漂亮小花的力量。

Because their life does start with me and it could end without me.

因为他们的生活确实由我而起，也可以由我而终。
