《再别康桥》

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
轻轻的我走了，
Very quietly I take my leave,
正如我轻轻的来；
As quietly as I came here;
我轻轻的招手，
Quietly I wave good-bye,
作别西天的云彩。
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

那河畔的金柳，
The golden willows by the riverside,
是夕阳中的新娘；
Are young brides in the setting sun;
波光里的豔影，
Their reflections on the shimmering waves,
在我的心头汤漾。
Always linger in the depth of my heart.

软泥上的青荇，
The floatingheart growing in the sludge,
油油的在水底招摇；
Sways leisurely under the water;
在康河的柔波里，
In the gentle waves of Cambridge,
我甘心做一条水草！
I would be a water plant!

那榆荫下的一潭，
That pool under the shade of elm trees,
不是清泉，是天上虹；
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
揉碎在浮藻间，
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds,
沉淀著彩虹似的梦。
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

寻梦撑一支长篙，
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream,
向青草更青处漫溯；
To where the green grass is more verdant;
满载一船星辉，
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight,
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.

但我不能放歌，
But I cannot sing aloud,
悄悄是别离的笙箫；
Quietness is my farewell music;
夏虫也为我沉默，
Even summer insects keep silence for me
沉默是今晚的康桥！
Silent is Cambridge tonight!

悄悄的我走了，
Very quietly I take my leave,
正如我悄悄的来；
As quietly as I came here;
我挥一挥衣袖，
Gently I flick my sleeves
不带走一片云彩。
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.
