经典现代诗歌英汉对译：自己　　Not knowing which world to call home ,
! K& }" o5 x1 G　　He chose an arbitrary tongue and creed ,
　　Pitched an improvised tent on sand .
　　Beneath the canopy of a little star ,
　　He began his heart's commerce with things :
　　was that the real me ?
　　By chance on his long trek he encountered an idol ,
　　Assumed the semblanceof a worshipper ,
　　Calling these men friends , those men enemies ,
　　Deploying emotions in their appropriate places .
　　The little shop of his life throve :
　　was that the real me ?
　　After a spell of prosperity he went broke ,
/ L/ {! m  }' _# a& |　　As if he had toppled his own dynasty .
　　The world cold-shouldered him , ridiculed him , punished him ,
! s  y+ l5 o5 Y8 `　　And yet all he had lost was his crown .
　　Lying awake at night he brooded :
7 a/ ^2 Z( S4 D2 X1 P2 P　　was that the real me ?
  q; ]- f' c8 g. }" A3 K8 w8 I5 w　　Meanwhile another world was posting bills for a missing person .
+ C5 h$ Q8 g/ Z6 x3 W　　His disappearance surprised the vacant room
　　Where another dream was waiting for him to dream ,
% w* I( B( U* M2 F. }: t　　And numerous rumours were ready to give him a shape
