No Man is An Island -by John Donne：
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 bells tolls; it tolls for thee.
<. A portrait of Donne as a young man, c. 1595, in the National Portrait Gallery, London
李敖的译文:
没有人能自全，没有人是孤岛，每人都是大陆的一 片，要为本土应卯。那便是一块土地，那便是一方海角，那便是一座庄园，不论是你的、还是朋友的，一旦海水冲走，欧洲就要变小。任何人的死亡，都是我的减少，作为人类的一员，我与生灵共老。丧钟在为谁敲，我本茫然不晓，不为幽明永隔，它正为你哀悼。
