《乡愁》
——余光中
小时候,
乡愁是一枚小小的邮票,
我在这头,母亲在那头。
长大后,
乡愁是一张窄窄的船票,
我在这头,新娘在那头。
后来啊,
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓,
我在外头,母亲在里头。
而现在,
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡,
我在这头,大陆在那头。
写作背景
余光中的一生是在频繁的奔波和迁徙之中,多次与亲人的聚散离合。1971年,20多年没有回过大陆的余光中思乡情切,在台北厦门街的旧居内写下《乡愁》这首诗。
英译
When I was young,
my homesickness was a small stamp,
I was here,
my mother was there.
After growing up,
my homesickness was a narrow ticket,
I was here,my bride was there.
Later,
my homesickness was a little tomb,
I was outside,my mother was inside.
And now,
my homesickness is a shallow strait,
I am here,
the mainland is there.
