朗读英语美文(83)乡愁

Nostagia

When I was young,

Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp,

Me on this side,

Mother on the other side.

When I grew up,

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,

Me on this side,

My bride on the other side.

But later on,

Nostalgia was a lowly grave,

Me on the outside,

Mother on the inside.

And at present,

Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,

Me on this side,

Mainland on the other side.

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。
