《莎士比亞十四行詩》

原文

Sonnet 18

by William Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou 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.

我怎么能夠將你比作夏天？

你比夏天更美麗溫婉。

狂風將五月的蓓蕾凋殘，

夏日的勾留何其短暫。

休戀那烈日當空，

轉眼會云霧迷蒙；

休嘆那百花凋零，

摧折于無常天命；

唯有你永恒的夏日長新，

你的美貌亦毫發無損。

死神也無緣將你幽禁，

你在我永恒的詩中長存。

只要世間尚有人吟誦我的詩篇，

這詩就將不朽，永葆你的芳顏。

卿如夏日，載欣載和。

西風列列，眾芳獨嗟。

長夏倏忽，崦嵫將迫。

赤日如炬，潾潾其波。

煌煌其光，晦影如闕。

美人遲暮，造化奈何。

卿如夏日，清麗永厥。

無會幽冥，宜詠宜歌。

佳顏不老，十世百劫。

我有詩行，頌卿芳德。
