No Man is an Island

任何人所遭受的苦难都是属于我们所有人的。

What is the cost of lies?

It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth.

The real danger is that if we hear enough lies,

then we no longer recognize the truth at all.

No Man is an Island

by John Donne

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 any manner 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.

李敖 译

没有人能自全，

没有人是孤岛，

每人都是大陆的一片，

要为本土应卯

那便是一块土地，

那便是一方海角，

那便是一座庄园，

不论是你的、

还是朋友的，

一旦海水冲走，

欧洲就要变小。

任何人的死亡，

都是我的减少，

作为人类的一员，

我与生灵共老。

丧钟在为谁敲，

我本茫然不晓，

不为幽明永隔，

它正为你哀悼。
