Sonnet 18

十四行詩 18

William Shakespeare

威廉·莎士比亞

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

我能把你比作夏日嗎?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

盡管你更可愛、更溫和;

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

夏日的狂風可能會摧殘五月的花兒，

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

季節的限制又減少了可擁有的日光;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

天空的巨眼有時過于灼熱，

And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

常使自身的輝煌無故湮沒;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

每一種美都會消逝，

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

不管愿意或是無奈;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

然而你這盛夏將永存不朽，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

連你所有的美都不會褪去;

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:

生命只會長存;

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

只要人類能呼吸，能看見;

So long lives this and this gives life to thee

我的詩就會存在，而你的生命也會延續。
