英国文学家Rudyard Kipling 曾经说过“East is East.West is West,Nowhere the twain shall meet”,意思是说东方与西方各据一方,像怨偶一样,互不合拢。
The Ballard of East and West(《东西方歌谣》)全文如下
Oh, East is East, and West is West,
and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently
at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West,
Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face,
though they come from the end of the earth!
作于1924年于伦敦
