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?
那树荫下的一潭，
不是清泉，是天上虹
揉碎在浮藻间，
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
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.
寻梦？撑一枝长篙，
向青草更青处漫溯，
满载一船星辉，
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
但我不能方歌，
悄悄是别离的笙箫；
夏虫也为我沉默，
沉默是今晚的康桥！
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
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄的来；
我挥一挥衣袖，
不带走一片云彩。
