Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again—by Xu Zhimo
Very quietly I take my leave,As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave goodbye,To the rosy(玫瑰色的) clouds in the western sky.The golden willows(柳树) by the riverside,Are young brides① in the setting sun;Their reflections② on the shimmering(闪烁) waves,Always linger(逗留)in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge③,Sways leisurely④ under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge,I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees,Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered(碎裂) to pieces among the duckweeds,Is the sediment of a rainbowlike dream.
To seek a dream?Just to pole a boat upstream⑤,To where the green grass is more verdant(嫩绿的);
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight,And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud,Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects keep silence⑥ for me,Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave,As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves,Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away.
