莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第48篇

 　　How careful was I, when I took my way, 启程之日我是多么谨慎小心，

　　Each trifle under truest bars to thrust, 把一切日用物件全上锁封存，

　　That to my use it might unused stay 坚壁固房务使窃贼望而缩手。

　　From hands of falsehood, in sure wards¹ of trust! 他日取用之时当使尘封如旧。

　　But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are, 然而你令我的珠宝无光，

　　Most worthy² of comfort, now my greatest grief, 昨日使我至乐，今宵叫我断肠。

　　Thou, best of dearest and mine only care, 你是我的肺和肝，我惟一的心头肉，

　　Art left the prey³ of every vulgar thief. 而今却无遮无拦任鼠窃狗偷。

　　Thee have I not lock'd up in any chest, 我锁遍了你不在的任何地方，

　　Save where thou art not, though I feel thou art, 偏没把你锁进金箱银箱，

　　Within the gentle closure of my breast, 我感到你总留连于我温柔的胸口，

　　From whence at pleasure thou mayst come and part; 这地方你原可以来去自由。

　　And even thence thou wilt⁴ be stol'n, I fear, 怕的是，隐秘如此你仍会被偷被抢，

　　For truth proves thievish for a prize so dear. 对这样的宝物，纵海誓山盟也废纸一张。
