Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Very quietly I take my leave,

As quietly as I came here;

Quietly I wave good-bye,

To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

The golden willows by the riverside,

Are young brides in the setting sun;

Their reflections on the shimmering waves,

Always linger in the depth of my heart.

The floating heart growing in the sludge,

Sways leisurely under the water;

In the gentle waves of Cambridge,

I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees,

Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;

Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds,

Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream,

To where the green grass is more verdant;

Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight,

And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

But I cannot sing aloud,

Quietness is my farewell music;

Even summer insects heap silence for me,

Silent is Cambridge tonight!

Very quietly I take my leave,

As quietly as I came here;

Gently I flick my sleeves,

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

再別康橋

輕輕的我走了，

正如我輕輕的來;

我輕輕的招手，

作別西天的云彩。

那河畔的金柳，

是夕陽(yáng)中的新娘;

波光里的艷影，

在我的心頭蕩漾。

軟泥上的青荇，

油油的在水底招搖;

在康河的柔波里，

我甘心做一條水草!

那榆蔭下的一潭，

不是清泉，

是天上虹揉碎在浮藻間，

沉淀著彩虹似的夢(mèng)。

尋夢(mèng)?撐一支長(zhǎng)篙，

向青草更青處漫溯，

滿載一船星輝，

在星輝斑斕里放歌。

但我不能放歌，

悄悄是別離的笙簫;

夏蟲也為我沉默，

沉默是今晚的康橋。

悄悄的我走了，

正如我悄悄的來;

我揮一揮衣袖，

不帶走一片云彩。
