Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the daring 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 dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this,and this gives life to thee.
我怎能把你比作夏天,
你比它更可爱、更温婉,
狂风把五月娇嫩的花蕊摧残,
夏季时光匆匆,总是如此短暂,
有时炽热异常,像上天灼烧的眼,
它那金色的面容常飘忽闪现。
再美好的事物也终将凋残,
随时间和自然的变化而流转。
但是你的夏日会永远鲜艳,
你将永远拥有这俊美的容颜。
死神也无法夸口让你在它的阴影里逗留,
当你在这不朽的诗句中永远地生息留守:
只要人类还在呼吸,只要眼睛还在阅读,
我这首诗就会存在,你的生命就会存在。
