Here at the other end of the Earth in Taiwan, the wise words written in the Bible 2000 years ago are borne out: on Linshan Point, a windswept promontory jutting out into the sea from Taiwan's north coast, between the sandy beach and the rock face there grows a carpet of tough coastal plants, including a scattering of short-stemmed flowers.
遙遠海洋這一端的台灣島上，驗證著兩千年前《聖經》裡的至理之言：海風終日吹襲的北海岸突出岬角──石門鄉麟山鼻，在沙灘與岩壁間，鋪長著強壯粗韌的海岸植物，與四散著低矮的朵朵小花。
