莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第36篇

 　　Let me confess that we two must be twain, 尽管我们的爱天衣无缝、浑然一体，

　　Although our undivided loves are one: 我却得承认我们毕竟在肉体上分离。

　　So shall those blots¹ that do with me remain 这样一来，我身上不光彩的疤痕，

　　Without thy help by me be borne alone. 不劳你分忧，我自当独自担承。

　　In our two loves there is but one respect, 是我们之间的挚爱把我们合二为一，

　　Though in our lives a separable spite, 尽管在现实里我们有两个身躯。

　　Which though it alter not love's sole effect, 两个身躯也改不了我们爱的专一、真纯，

　　Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight. 但毕竟会耗费掉些许甜蜜的光阴。

　　I may not evermore acknowledge thee, 我从此或不再张扬你是我的知已，

　　Lest my bewailed guilt² should do thee shame, 以防我可悲的过失玷污你的英名；

　　Nor thou with public kindness honour me, 你也不要当众赋予我殊荣，

　　Unless thou take that honour from thy name: 除非你甘冒名声受损的厄运。

　　But do not so; I love thee in such sort As, thou being mine, mine is thy good report. 可是别，别把我的话儿当真，须知我的爱是这样一种爱：你既属于我，我的好名声你也有份。
