No Man Is An Island
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
沒(méi)有人是一座孤島,
可以自全散劫。
每個(gè)人都是大陸的一片,
整體的一部分。
如果海水沖掉一塊,
歐洲就減小,
如同一個(gè)海岬失掉一角,
如同你的朋友或者你自己的領(lǐng)地失掉一塊
任何人的死亡都是我的損失,
因?yàn)槲沂侨祟惖囊粏T港粱,
因此 不要問(wèn)喪鐘為誰(shuí)而鳴,
它就為你而鳴旦签。
