今番重讀，是為私人紀念
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 friends 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 bell tolls
it tolls for thee.
-- John Donne
沒有人能自全，沒有人是孤島，
每人都是大陸的一片，要為本土應卯。
那便是一塊土地，那便是一方海角，
那便是一座莊園，不論是你的、還是朋友的，
一旦海水沖走，歐洲就要變小。
任何人的死亡，都是我的減少，
作為人類的一員，我與生靈共老。
喪鐘在為誰敲，我本茫然不曉，
不為幽明永隔，它正為你哀悼。
-- 李敖譯
