轻轻地我走了,
正如我轻轻地来;
我轻轻地招手,
作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳,
是夕阳中的新娘;
波光里的艳影,
在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇,
油油的在水底招摇;
在康河的柔波里,
我甘心做一条水草。
那榆荫下的一潭,
不是清泉,是天上的虹,
揉碎在浮藻间,
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦?撑一支长篙,
向青草更青处漫溯,
满载一船星辉,
在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌,
悄悄是别离的笙箫;
夏虫也为我沉默,
沉默是今晚的康桥!
悄悄的我走了,
正如我悄悄的来,
我挥一挥衣袖,
不带走一片云彩。
Farewell to Cambridge Again
By Xu Zhimo
Tr.
Quietly I take my leave
Just as quietly I came,
Waving gently farewell
To the western clouds aflame.
The golden riverside willow
Is the bride at twilight;
Her reflection in waves
Ripples in my heart bright.
The green weeds on the sludge
Sway freely underwater;
In the soft waves of Cam Rill
To be a weed I’m eager.
The lake amid the elm shades
shakes no spring, but a sky rainbow,
Grinded into the floating weeds.
My rainbow-like dreams along go.
To quest dreams? Holding a long pole,
To greener grass I row upstream,
With stars shimmering in my boat.
Let’s sing loud in the starry gleam.
And yet I can’t sing aloud,
but flute farewell silence light;
For me summer insects keep silent,
As silent is Cambridge tonight.
Quietly I take my leave
Just as quietly I came;
Waving gently my sleeve,
To clouds
Notes:
(1) Xu Zhimo (1897.1.15-1931.11.19), a native of Xiashi Town, Haining County, Zhejiang(浙江海宁县硖石镇),was a famous poet of the New Moon school (新月派) and a modern prosaist. In 1918, he went to Clark University to study Banking and graduated 10 months later, obtaining BA degree, and then further majored in economics at the graduate school of Columbia University in New York. In 1921, he departed for Britain and entered Cambridge University to study politics and economics.During his two years’ in Cambridge, he was greatly influenced by western education, European Romanticism, and poets of the school of “Art for Art's Sake”. In 1923 he returned to China and set up the New Moon School, and became a professor in Peking University. On November, 19th, 1931, he died in a plane crash.
(2) This poem was written in November 6th, 1928 when he came back
on route to China from Britain. On a summer night of that late July
when he stayed in Bertrand Russell’s house, he decided to pay a
visit to Cambridge University. When he arrived, without telling his
friends in advance, no friend awaited him but the familiar and
silent Cambridge. This poem is about what he saw and how he felt
about the campus where he had
studied.

译诗1:
On Leaving Cambridge Again
[美] Edward Connynham
(1960-61)
Quietly I leave,
Just as I quietly came;
I quietly wave,
Saying goodbye to the bright clouds of the western sky.
The river banks golden willows,
Like brides in a setting sun;
Beautiful shadows in bright waves.
Waving in my heart.
The soft mud’s green grasses,
Bright green, waving on the river bottom;
World I were a blade of water grass,
In the river Cam’s gentle waves.
That lake under the Elm shadow,
Not a clear fountain but a rainbow in heaven.
Twisted into floating weeds.
Precipitating rainbow dreams.
Dream searching? Push a long boat pole,
Upstream towards green grass and an even greener place.
A boat filled with starlight,
Let loose a song midst printed starlight.
But I cannot sing,
It is quiet like a parting Hsiao;
The summer insects are also quiet for me,
Cambridge tonight is silent.
Quietly I leave,
Just as I quietly came;
My sleeves are waving,
Not taking away a single cloud.

译诗2:
Farewell, River Cam Once Again!
Tr. (Frank) Huang Xinqu
Revised:
Gently I take my
leave,
Just as gently I came
here;
Gently I wave my farewell,
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
Weeping willows by the riverside,
In the setting sun is a pretty bride.
Her graceful shadows in the river,
Fill my heart with the rising tide!
Green duckweeds growing in the
sludge
Are swaying gently under the water;
I am willing to be a water plant,
Amid the gentle waves on River Cam.
Under the shade of elm trees,
That pool is not a clear spring,
but
Shattered waves of a rainbow from the
sky;
It is laden with a rosy rainbow's dream.
To seek a dream? With a long pole,
To the grass more lush and green I row.
Overloaded with a boat of starlight,
I sing aloud amid the brilliance of
stars.
But I cannot sing it
aloud,
Silence is the farewell tune in my flute.
Even summer insects keep silent for me,
So silent is River Cam
tonight!
Quietly I take my
leave,
Just as quietly I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves,
Not even a wisp of cloud do I take away.
November 6,1928 over South China Sea
