If Music Be The Food Of Love By William Shakespeare
If music be the food of love, play on,
假如音乐是爱情的食粮,那么奏下去吧;
Give me excess of it; that, surfeiting,
尽量地奏下去,好让爱情因过饱噎塞而死。
The appetite may sicken, and so die.—
又奏起这个调子来了!它有一种渐渐消沉下去的节奏。
That strain again—it had a dying fall;
啊!它经过我的耳畔,就像微风吹拂一丛紫罗兰,
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south,
发出轻柔的声音,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour.
一面把花香偷走,一面又把花香分送。
Enough, no more.
够了!别再奏下去了!它现在已经不像原来那样甜蜜了。
Tis not so sweet now as it was befor.
O Spirit of love!
爱情的精灵呀!
How quick and fresh art thou
你是多么敏感而活泼;
that,not with standing thy capacity
虽然你有海―样的容量,
receiveth as the sea,nought enters there,
可是无论怎样高贵超越的事物,一进了你的范围,
of what validity and pitch soe`er.
But falls into abatement and low price,
便会在顷刻间失去了它的价值。
Even in a minute: so full of shapes is fancy
爱情是这样充满了意象,
That it alone is high fantastical
在一切事物中是最富于幻想的。
