再別康橋 Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Wiki-《再別康橋》是中國詩人徐志摩膾炙人口的新詩。1928年秋天，作者最後一次重訪英國劍橋，乘船返回中國，途經中國南海時，把劍橋的景色和緬懷之情融入詩中，表達告別劍橋的淡淡哀愁。

輕輕的我走了， 正如我輕輕的來；
我輕輕的招手， 作別西天的雲彩。
那河畔的金柳， 是夕陽中的新娘；
波光裡的艷影， 在我的心頭蕩漾。
軟泥上的青荇， 油油地在水底招搖；
在康桥的柔波裡， 我甘心做一條水草！
那榆蔭下的一潭， 不是清泉， 是天上虹；
揉碎在浮藻間， 沉澱著彩虹似的夢。
尋夢？撐一支長篙， 向青草更青處漫溯；
滿載一船星輝， 在星輝斑斕裡放歌。
但我不能放歌， 悄悄是別離的笙簫；
夏蟲也為我沉默， 沉默是今晚的康橋！
悄悄地我走了， 正如我悄悄地來；
我揮一揮衣袖， 不帶走一片雲彩。

Goodbye Cambridge Tr. by Roger Mason

Lightly, lightly I came here, and leave lightly saying goodbye;

Waving my hand lightly to the clouds in the western sky.

Golden on the riverbank willows glow like the setting sun’s bride;

Light glistens from the ripples, my heart and soul quiver inside,

From soft mud under oily water green weeds beckon as I pass!

Would I could sway in the sweet River Cam as a strand of water grass!

This elm-shaded pool is no clear spring, the eroding stream

Washes algae up from the sediment, creating a rainbow dream.

What dream? A punt pole points my thoughts back to stream’s rushy bed,

The passing punt raises a starburst, The star decay: there’s singing instead.

I’m not the one who’s singing. Softly, a dismal tune plays on a flute,

The water runs quiet through the Cam bridge tonight and summer insects are mute.

Softly, softly I came here, and leave softly saying goodbye;

Shaking my sleeves so I take not a wisp of the bright clouds in the sky.
