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!
No man is an island,Entire of itself.Each is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,Motherland is the less.As well as if a promontory were.As well as if a manner of thine ownOr of thine friend's were.Each man's death diminishes me,For I am involved in mankind.Therefore, send not to knowFor whom the bell tolls,It tolls for thee.
