菲奥纳·肖｜朗读Sonnet 153

Sonnet 153

Cupid laid by his brand and fell asleep:

爱神放下他的火炬，沉沉睡去：
A maid of Dian’s this advantage found,

月神的一个仙女乘了这机会
And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep

赶快把那枝煽动爱火的火炬
In a cold valley-fountain of that ground;

浸入山间一道冷冰冰的泉水；

Which borrowed from this holy fire of Love,

泉水，既从这神圣的火炬得来
A dateless lively heat, still to endure,

一股不灭的热，就永远在燃烧，
And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove

变成了沸腾的泉，一直到现在
Against strange maladies a sovereign cure.

还证实具有起死回生的功效。

But at my mistress’ eye Love’s brand new-fired,

但这火炬又在我情人眼里点火，
The boy for trial needs would touch my breast;

为了试验，爱神碰一下我胸口，
I, sick withal, the help of bath desired,

我马上不舒服，又急躁又难过，
And thither hied, a sad distempered guest,

一刻不停地跑向温泉去求救，

But found no cure, the bath for my help lies

但全不见效：能治好我的温泉
Where Cupid got new fire; my mistress’ eyes.
只有新燃起爱火的、我情人的眼。
