Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou artmore 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 untrimmed.
But thyeternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
Couplet:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
译文
我怎么能够将你比作夏天?
你比夏天更美丽温婉。
狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残,
夏日的勾留何其短暂。
休恋那烈日当空,
转眼会云雾迷蒙;
休叹那百花凋零,
摧折于无常天命;
唯有你永恒的夏日长新,
你的美貌亦毫发无损。
死神也无缘将你幽禁,
你在我永恒的诗中长存。
只要世间尚有人吟诵我的诗篇,
这诗就将不朽,永葆你的芳颜。
