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,
Motherland 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.
Mainly by John Donne（1572－1631)
不要问丧钟为谁而鸣
没有人是自成一体、与世隔绝的孤岛，
每一个人都是广袤大陆的一部份。
如果海浪冲掉了一块岩石，
欧洲就减少。
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。
每个人的死亡都是我的哀伤，
因为我是人类的一员。
所以，不要问丧钟为谁而鸣，
它就为你而鸣！
约翰·多恩John Donne（1572 - 1631）
