余光中的乡愁（中英文对照阅读）

Homesick （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。

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

Linking Mum at the other end and me this. 　　

When grown up， I remained homesick， but it became a ticket 　　

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

Then homesickness took the shape of a grave，?

Mum inside of it and me outside. 　　

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

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