Homesick 鄉(xiāng)愁

　　鄉(xiāng)愁

　　Yu Guangzhong

　　余光中

　　When I was a child, my homesickness was a small stamp

　　小時(shí)候鄉(xiāng)愁是一枚小小的郵票

　　Linking Mum at the other end and me this.

　　我在這頭 母親在那頭

　　When I grew up, I remained homesick, but it became a ticket.

　　長(zhǎng)大后鄉(xiāng)愁是一張窄窄的船票

　　By which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end.

　　我在這頭 新娘在那頭

　　Then homesickness took the shape of the grave,

　　后來啊 鄉(xiāng)愁是一方矮矮的墳?zāi)?/p>

　　Mum inside of it and me outside.

　　我在外頭 母親在里頭

　　Now I`m still homesick, but it is a narrow strait

　　而現(xiàn)在鄉(xiāng)愁是一灣淺淺的海峽

　　Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other.

　　我在這頭 大陸在那頭
