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
没有人是一座孤岛,
可以自全。
每个人都是大陆的一片,
整体的一部分。
如果海水冲掉一块,
欧洲就减小,
如同一个海岬失掉一角,
如同你的朋友或者你自己的领地失掉一块
任何人的死亡都是我的损失,
因为我是人类的一员,
因此 不要问丧钟为谁而鸣,
它就为你而鸣。
