?
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
dimmed,
And every fair from fair
sometime declines,
By
chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer
shall not fade,
Nor lose
possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st 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.

Express/reproduce
定义：
1..
Literal
translation
takes
sentences
as
its
basic
units
and
the
whole
text
into
consideration at the same time in the
course of translating.
2.
Literal translation strives to reproduce both the
ideological content and style of the
entire
literary
work
and
retain
as
much
as
possible
the
figures
of
speech
and
main
sentence
structures or patterns.
