再别康桥

徐志摩

I leave softly, gently,

轻轻的我走了，

Exactly as I came.

正如我轻轻的来；

I wave to the western sky,

我轻轻的招手，

Telling it goodbye softly, gently.

作别西天的云彩。

The golden willow¹ at the river edge

那河畔的金柳，

Is the setting sun's bride.

是夕阳中的新娘。

Her quivering reflection

波光里的艳影，

Stays fixed² in my mind.

在我的心头荡漾。

Green grass on the bank

软泥上的青荇，

Dances on a watery³ floor

油油的在水底招摇；

In bright reflection.

在康河的柔波里，

I wish myself a bit of waterweed

我甘心做一条水草！

Vibrating to the ripple⁴. Of the River Cam.

那树荫下的一潭，

That creek⁵ in the shade of the great elms,

不是清泉，是天上虹

Is not a creek but a shattered rainbow, Printed on the water

揉碎在浮藻间，

And inlaid with duckweed, It is my lost dream.

沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

Hunting a dream? Wielding⁶ a long punting pole

寻梦？撑一支长篙，

I get my boat into green water, Into still greener grass.

向青草更青处漫溯，

In a flood of starlight, On a river of silver and diamond

满载一船星辉，

I sing to my heart's content.

在星辉斑斓里放歌。

But now, no, I cannot sing

但我不能放歌，

Quietness is my farewell music;

悄悄是别离的笙箫；

Even Summer insects heap silence for me

夏虫也为我沉默，

Silent is Cambridge tonight!

沉默是今晚的康桥！

I leave quietly

悄悄的我走了，

As I came quietly.

正如我悄悄的来；

Gently I flick⁷ my sleeves.

我挥一挥衣袖，

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.

不带走一片云彩。
