让我如何来把你比作夏天?
你比夏天还要可爱,而且柔软:
暴风的五月摧残了鲜嫩的蓓蕾,
夏天那无情的赁期,又实在是太短:
有时候太阳的照耀又会太烈,
而且那辉煌的面孔也难免乌云的遮掩;
每一种美丽,都会有衰谢的一天,
或者由于无常,或者因为自然。
可是你的夏天却不会凋谢,
你的美丽,也永远不会消散;
虽然骄傲的死亡可以在夏天投下阴影,
但是不朽的诗行将照亮你的鲜妍。
只要有一个人还在呼吸,还能阅读,
这首诗就活着,让你的青春生动依然。
原文
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
