谁都不是一座岛屿,自成一体;
每个人都是广袤大陆的一部分。
如果海浪冲刷掉一个土块,欧洲就少了一点;
如果一个海角、你朋友或你的庄园被冲掉,也是如此。
任何人的死亡都使我受到损失,因为我包孕在人类之中。
所以别去打听丧钟为谁而鸣,它为你而鸣!
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each 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 thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
by John Donne(1572-1631)

为昆明遇难同胞默哀,愿逝者安息,伤者平安。
