原文：No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. 修正后的版本："No man is an island, but each individual remains a fragment of the larger world; every person is a tiny speck within a broader system that comprises our collective humanity." 这一句将“岛屿”一词替换为了“片段”，与“整体”形成对比，强调了个体对于整个社会的不可或缺性；“一个群岛”则转换为“每一粒微粒”,进一步突出生命的多元性和个体的存在价值。
第二部分： 原文：If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the least, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thy own were: 修正后的版本：If a drop of dirt were swept away by the tide, Europe would not fare better than any other part of the land, and even if a mountain peak were submerged like one of thy neighbor's or thy own property, it would still matter: every human life is more valuable than mere accumulation of possessions or accomplishments on Earth.
第三部分： 原文：Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and, 修正后的版本：Every mortal loss, then, weighs heavily upon me because I am entwined with the collective being of humans, and, 第四部分： 原文：never send to know for whom the bell tolls; 修正后的版本：I never invite anyone to weigh in on the significance of this haunting melody; 第五部分： 原文：it tolls for thee. 修正后的版本：It tolls not just for you; rather, it mourns us all.
