《莎士比亚十四行诗》

作者：莎士比亚

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

我怎么能够把你来比作夏天?

你不独比它可爱也比它温婉:
狂风把五月宠爱的嫩蕊作践，
夏天出赁的期限又未免太短:

天上的眼睛有时照得太酷烈，
它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽:
被机缘或无常的天道所摧折，
没有芳艳不终于凋残或消毁。
但是你的长夏永远不会凋落，
也不会损失你这皎洁的红芳，
或死神夸口你在他影里漂泊，
当你在不朽的诗里与时同长。

只要一天有人类，或人有眼睛，
这诗将长存，并且赐给你生命。
