Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo

　　再別康橋 徐志摩

　　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 in 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 duckweeds

　　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 cannot sing aloud

　　Quietness is my farewell music;

　　Even summer insects heap silence for me

　　Silent is Cambridge tonight!

　　Very quietly I take my leave

　　As quietly as I came here;

　　Gently I flick my sleeves

　　Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

　　再別康橋

　　——徐志摩

　　輕輕的我走了，正如我輕輕的來，

　　我輕輕的招手，作別西天的云彩。

　　那河畔的金柳，是夕陽中的新娘，

　　波光里的艷影，在我的心頭蕩漾。

　　軟泥上的青荇，油油的在水底招搖；

　　在康河的柔波里，我甘心作一枚水草！

　　那榆蔭下的一潭，不是清泉，是天上虹；

　　揉碎在浮藻間，沉淀著彩虹似的夢(mèng)。

　　尋夢(mèng)！撐一支長篙，向青草更青處漫溯，

　　滿載一船星輝，在星輝斑斕里放歌。

　　但我不能放歌，悄悄是離別的笙簫。

　　夏蟲也為我沉默，沉默是今晚的康橋！

　　悄悄的我走了，正如我悄悄的來，

　　我揮一揮衣袖，不帶走一片云彩！
