~余光中的乡愁Nostalgia ~
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
