Just Wondering
從英文翻譯, 請高手指點
I look into the river. I see my reflection standing still in this fast moving world of flowing waters. There are fishes swimming against the current. They move and yet they remain where they are. I wonder if I am a fish in this rat race of the human world. Go with the flow and you will go far. To the river's end and then what? I am tired, worn out by the abrasion of time. I need but to seek shelter in the quiet pools with no eddies surging round and round.
河中水, 速流而我映仍然留停不動. 水界魚族在逆流, 只見移動但不見進. 疑問在此快度人世間中是否我一條魚. 隨水而去當然會有成就, 但到了河盡又如何? 疲倦的我, 精力經已被時間靡費. 要去尋找一个靜池安棲, 沒有旋渦團團轉.

不是高手，仅供参考。
我看见自己的影子倒映在瞬息万变的河水里，水在迅速地流动，一些鱼在逆水而行，只見移動但不見進。我想知道，在这个竞争激烈的人类世界里，假如我是一条鱼，随波逐流我会走得很远，但是到了河水的尽头又能怎样呢？（但到了河盡又如何?）疲倦的我, 精力（已经）被時間（耗尽），我需要一个没有风浪的安静的港湾......

Thanks zz. What you say is absolutely correct. It is a problem that translators have to deal with in creative writing.

这段话的主旨是比较好懂的，但是翻译的话比较难，因为原文有些类似于诗歌，表达的是作者的人生感悟，比较抽象。我按照我的理解，在不改变原文意思的基础上，结合你自己的翻译，试着翻译了一下。献丑啦!
