我想将你比作迷人的夏日

Sonnet XVIII (Shall I compare thee to a summer's day)
　
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.

-----by William Shakespeare ( 1564 - 1616 )

十四行诗 8 我想将你比作迷人的夏日

我想将你比作迷人的夏日，
但汝却更显可爱和温存：
狂野之风摧残着五月蓓蕾的柔媚，
也一天天消逝着夏日的归期：
苍天的明眸偶然泻出璀璨，
却难以辉映他暗淡的容颜；
一切明媚的色彩渐已消褪，
过程是如此苍白；
然而你却如永恒之夏，
所有的美好永远也不会改变；
就连死神也不敢对你嚣张，
因你将永生于不朽的诗篇：
只要世人一息尚存，
你将和这诗篇永驻人间。
