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
没有谁是一座孤岛
没有谁能像一座孤岛
在大海里独踞
每个人都像一块小小的泥土
连接成整个陆地
如果有一块泥土被海水冲击
欧洲就会失去一角
如同一座山岬
也如同你的朋友和你自己
无论谁死了
都是自己的一部份在死去
因为我包含在人类这个概念里
因此我从不问丧钟为谁而鸣
它为我
也为你
——约翰 多恩
