当我们再次读起乡愁，余光中老先生已然逝世，“长大后，我们才懂得什么是乡愁”。希望余光中老先生魂归故里，再无乡愁。为了纪念他，我们今天来回顾一下余老的经典作品。

小时候，第一次诗里读到了乡愁；长大后，第一次在离家的日子里拾起了乡愁。带着乡愁，余光中老先生去了天堂，享年89岁。余先生一生佳作无数，除了我们耳熟能详的《乡愁》，还有很多作品触动人心。今天的初中英语在线学习就让我们跟随余先生的作品一起，将他永远铭记。

一、《乡愁》

When I was a child,my homesickness was a small stamp,Linking Mum at the other end and me this.

小时候，乡愁是一枚小小的邮票，我在这头，母亲在那头。

When I grown up， I remained homesick,but it became a ticket by which I sailed to and from my bride at the other end.

长大后，乡愁是一张窄窄的船票 ，我在这头，新娘在那头。

Then homesickness took the shape of a grave,Mum inside of it and me outside.

后来呀，乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓，我在外头，母亲在里头。

Now I’m still homesick，but it is a narrow strait Separating me on this side and the mainland on the other.

而现在，乡愁是一弯浅浅的海峡，我在这头，大陆在那头。
