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·邓恩
布道辞

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
