介绍： John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man 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 manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:

介绍： John Donne
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man 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 manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.

没有谁是一座孤岛
约翰•多恩

没有谁是一座孤岛，
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刷，
欧洲就会失去一角，
这如同一座山岬，
也如同一座庄园，
无论是你的还是你朋友的。

无论谁死了，
都是我的一部分在死去，
因为我包含在人类这个概念里。
因此，
不要问丧钟为谁耳鸣，
丧钟为你而鸣。

1.John Donne (1572-1631).
From “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions”
John Donne is a pre-eminent representative of the metaphysical poets, a loose group of 17th-century English poets whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits.

2.Conceit: a simile or a metaphor that seems to be dissimilar, but in fact quite fanciful. It usually sets up an analogy between spiritual qualities and an object in the physical world.

3.Man is only a component of a larger mass. The loss of one individual diminishes the collective size of the mass. Europe is an island drifting on the sea, which cannot survive without being connected to other continents.
