Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare

十四行诗 18 威廉·莎士比亚

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

我能把你比作夏日吗？

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

尽管你更可爱、更温和；

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

夏日的狂风可能会摧残五月的花儿，

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

季节的限制又减少了可拥有的日光；

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

天空的巨眼有时过于灼热，

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

常使自身的辉煌无故湮没；

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

每一种美都会消逝，

By chance,or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

不管愿意或是无奈；

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

然而你这盛夏将永存不朽，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

连你所有的美都不会褪去；

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

死神不忍逼近，

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:

生命只会长存；

So long as men can breathe,or eyes can see,

只要人类能呼吸，能看见；

So long lives this and this gives life to thee

我的诗就会存在，而你的生命也会延续。
