《再別康橋》是現代詩人徐誌摩膾炙人口的詩篇,是新月派詩歌的代表作品。全詩以離別康橋時感情起伏為線索,抒發了對康橋依依惜別的深情。語言輕盈柔和,形式精巧圓熟,詩人用虛實相間的手法,描繪了壹幅幅流動的畫面,構成了壹處處美妙的意境,細致入微地將詩人對康橋的愛戀,對往昔生活的憧憬,對眼前的無可奈何的離愁,表現得真摯、濃郁、雋永,是徐誌摩詩作中的絕唱。
英語原文
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 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 duck weeds
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 can’t sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I left
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
