1、?狄金森，《我未曾見過荒原》，原文：I never saw a Moor- I never saw the Sea- Yet know I how the Heather looks And what a Billow be. I never spoke with God Nor visited in Heaven- Yet certain am I of the spot As if the Checks were given-
譯文：我從未去過荒原，從未見過大海。但我知道楠木的枝葉，和翻滾的巨浪。我從未與上帝對談，從未踏步天堂。但我仿佛已被應允，壹定要去那個地方。
2、W. H. Auden《憂郁的贊禮》，原文：He was my North, my South, my East and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.
譯文：他曾是我的四面八方。我的工作日，我的禮拜天，我的正午，我的半夜，我的呢喃，我的歌唱，我以為愛都能恒久流長，現在看來多麽荒唐。
3、龐德《在地鐵車站》，原文：In a Station of the MetroThe apparition of these faces in the crowd;Petals on a wet, black bough.
譯文：人群中這些面孔幽靈壹般顯現；濕漉漉的黑色枝條上的許多花瓣。
4、狄金森《如果我不曾見過太陽》，原文：Had I not seen the sun. I could have borne the shade. But Light a newer Wilderness. My Wilderness has made.
譯文：我本可以忍受黑暗，如果我不曾見過太陽。然而陽光已使我的荒涼，成為更新的荒涼。
5、塞林格《破碎故事之心》，原文：There are some people who think love is sex and marriage and six o’clock-kisses and children, and perhaps it is, Miss Lester.But do you know what I think? I think love is a touch and yet not a touch
譯文：有人說愛是壹夜纏綿，愛是早上六點的親吻。愛是懷中的繈褓，萊斯特，妳可知道在我看來，愛是手伸出又收回的那只手。
