没有人是与世隔绝的孤岛;
每个人都是大地的一部分;
如果海流冲走一团泥土,
大陆就失去了一块,
如同失去一个海岬,
如同朋友或自己失去家园:
任何人的死都让我受损,
因为我与人类息息相关;
因此,
别去打听丧钟声为谁而鸣,
它为你而鸣。
Noman is an island,
Entireof itself.
Eachis a piece of the continent,
Apart of the main.
Ifa clod be washed away by the sea,
Motherlandis the less.
Aswell as if a promontory were.
Aswell as if a manner of thine own
Orof thine friend's were.
Eachman's death diminishes me,
ForI am involved in mankind.
Therefore,send not to know
Forwhom the bell tolls,
Ittolls for thee.
