再别康桥 徐志摩

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo

Very quietly I take my leave 轻轻的我走了，

As quietly as I came here; 正如我轻轻的来；

Quietly I wave good-bye 我轻轻的招手，

To the rosy clouds in the western sky. 作别西边的云彩。

The golden willows by the riverside 那河畔的金柳，

Are young brides in the setting sun; 是夕阳中的新娘；

Their reflections on the shimmering waves 波光里的艳影，

Always linger in the depth of my heart. 在我的心头荡漾。

The floating heart growing in the sludge 软泥上的青荇，

Sways leisurely under the water; 油油的在水底招摇：

In the gentle waves of Cambridge 在康河的柔波里

I would be a water plant! 我甘心做一条水草。

That pool under the shade of elm trees 那榆荫下的一潭，

Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; 不是清泉，是天上虹

Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds 揉碎在浮藻间，

Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream? 沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream 寻梦？撑一支长篙，

To where the green grass is more verdant; 向青草更青处漫溯，

Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight 满载一船星辉，

And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight. 在星辉斑斓里放歌。

But I cannot sing aloud 但我不能放歌

Quietness is my farewell music; 悄悄是别离的笙箫；

Even summer insects keep silence for me 夏虫也为我沉默，

Silent is Cambridge tonight! 沉默是今晚的康桥！

Very quietly I take my leave 悄悄的我走了，

As quietly as I came here; 正如我悄悄的来；

Gently I flick my sleeves 我挥一挥衣袖

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 不带走一片云彩。
