本文是依据英国诗人约翰·多恩John Donne(1572-1631)《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 bells tolls;
it tolls for thee.
原文:No man is an island,

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,

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.
译文:没有人是自成一体、与世隔绝的孤岛,每一个人都是广袤大陆的一部份。如果海浪冲掉了一块岩石,欧洲就减少。如同一个海岬失掉一角,如同你的朋友或者你自己的领地失掉一块。每个人的死亡都是我的哀伤,因为我是人类的一员。所以,不要问丧钟为谁而鸣,它就为你而鸣!约翰·多恩John Donne(1572 - 1631)
