鄉(xiāng)愁
Yu Guangzhong
余光中
When I was a child, my homesickness was a small stamp
小時(shí)候鄉(xiāng)愁是一枚小小的郵票
Linking Mum at the other end and me this.
我在這頭 母親在那頭
When I grew up, I remained homesick, but it became a ticket.
長(zhǎng)大后鄉(xiāng)愁是一張窄窄的船票
By which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end.
我在這頭 新娘在那頭
Then homesickness took the shape of the grave,
后來啊 鄉(xiāng)愁是一方矮矮的墳?zāi)?/p>
Mum inside of it and me outside.
我在外頭 母親在里頭
Now I`m still homesick, but it is a narrow strait
而現(xiàn)在鄉(xiāng)愁是一灣淺淺的海峽
Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other.
我在這頭 大陸在那頭
