莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第89篇

 　　Say that thou didst forsake¹ me for some fault, 就说你对我负心是因为我自已有罪，

　　And I will comment upon that offence; 我愿意对你的冒犯文过饰非；

　　Speak of my lameness², and I straight will halt, Against thy reasons making no defence. 说我腿瘸，我立刻蹦跳着行走，对你给我的指摘绝不加以反对。

　　Thou canst not, love, disgrace me half so ill, 爱啊，如果你想造成体面的结局，

　　To set a form upon desired change, 因而需要搞臭我自已的名声，

　　As I'll myself disgrace: knowing thy will, 与其你淤口相喷，不如我自辱其身。

　　I will acquaintance strangle and look strange, 我既已参透你暗藏于中的心事，

　　Be absent from thy walks, and in my tongue Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell, 自会忍痛绝交，此后便形同路人。躲开你，也不再提到你的芳名尊姓，

　　Lest I, too much profane³, should do it wrong 免得我过分亵渎、伤害了它，

　　And haply of our old acquaintance tell. 或不小心透露了我们旧有的交情。

　　For thee against myself I'll vow⁴ debate, 为了你我发誓与自己来一场恶战，

　　For I must ne'er love him whom thou dost hate. 凡你所憎恶的人我一定手黑心残。
