英语世界的人基本都知道的一首诗；翻译是我儿时在很老的一本《丧钟为谁而鸣》上看见的。迄今为止，我认为最好的翻译版本。
丧钟为谁而鸣
人非孤岛孑然立，
都与神州合而一。
土随水去地基小，
水没山平大陆低。
人若亡故我亦少，
我与人人共一体。
若闻丧钟君莫问，
为你也是为我鸣。
No Man Is An Island ——John Donn
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.
