丧钟为谁而鸣

...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...

--John Donne (1573-1631)

"谁都不是一座岛屿，
自成一体；
每个人都是那广袤大陆的一部分。
如果海浪冲刷掉一个土块，
欧洲就少了一点；
如果一个海角，
如果你朋友或你自己的庄园被冲掉，
也是如此。
任何人的死亡都使我受到损失，
因为我包孕在人类之中。
所以别去打听丧钟为谁而鸣，
它为你敲响。"
