Nostalgia
-----by 余光中
When I was a child,
Nostalgia seemed a small stamp:
"Here am I
And there ……my mother."
Then I was a grown-up,
Nostalgia became a traveling ticket:
"Here am I
And there……my bride."
During the later years,
Nostalgia turned to be a graveyard:
"Here am I
And yonder……my mother."
And now at present,
Nostalgia looms large to be a channel:
"Here am I
And yonder……my Continent!"
New word:
nostalgia 乡愁
graveyard 墓地
continent 大陆
yonder在那边
loom隐现, 迫近
【乡愁】
余光中
小时侯
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
后来呵
乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓
我在外头
母亲呵在里头
而现在
乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡
我在这头
大陆在那头作者: 静水无痕 时间: 08-10-11 15:28 标题: 沁园春 雪（中英文对照） SNOW
--to the tune of Chin Yuan Chun
February 1936
North country scene:
A hundred leagues locked in ice,
A thousand leagues of whirling snow.
Both sides of the Great Wall
One single white immensity.
The Yellow River\'s swift current
Is stilled from end to end.
The mountains dance like silver snakes
And the highlands* charge like wax-hued elephants,
