Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Very quietly I take my leave,

轻轻的我走了，

As quietly as I came here;

正如我轻轻的来；

Quietly I wave good-bye,我轻轻地招手，

To the rosy clouds in the western sky.作别西天的云彩。

The golden willows by the riverside,那河畔的金柳，Are young brides in the setting sun;是夕阳中的新娘；

Their reflections on the shimmering waves,波光里的艳影，

Always linger in the depth of my heart.在我的心头荡漾。

The floating heart growing in the sludge,软泥上的青荇，Sways leisurely under the water;油油的在水底招摇；

In the gentle waves of Cambridge,在康河的柔波里，

I would be a water plant!我甘心做一条水草！

That pool under the shade of elm trees,那榆荫下的一潭，Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;不是清泉，是天上虹；

Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds,揉碎在浮藻间，

Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream.沉淀着彩虹似的梦。

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream，寻梦？撑一支长篙，To where the green grass is more verdant;向青草更青处漫溯；

Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight,满载一船星辉，

And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.在星辉斑斓里放歌。

But I cannot sing aloud,但我不能放歌，Quietness is my farewell music;悄悄是别离的笙箫；

Even summer insects heap silence for me,夏虫也为我沉默，

Silent is Cambridge tonight!沉默是今晚的康桥！

Very quietly I take my leave,悄悄的我走了，As quietly as I came here;正如我悄悄的来；

Gently I flick my sleeves,我挥一挥衣袖，

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.不带走一片云彩。
