莎士比亚十四行诗

Shakespeare Sonnet 12

When I do count the clock that tells the time,

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

When I behold the violet past prime,

And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white:

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,

Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

And summer's green, all girded up in sheaves,

Born on the bier with white and bristly beard;

Then of thy beauty do I question make,

That thou among the wastes of time must go,

Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake,

And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

、译

当我数着壁上报时的自鸣钟，

见明媚的白昼坠入狰狞的夜，

当我凝望着紫罗兰老了春容，

青丝的卷发遍洒着皑皑白雪

;

当我看见参天的树枝叶尽脱，

它不久前曾荫蔽喘息的牛羊

;

夏天的青翠一束一束地就缚，

带着坚挺的白须被舁上殓床

;

于是我不禁为你的朱颜焦虑

:

终有天你要加入时光的废堆，

既然美和芳菲都把自己抛弃，

眼看着别人生长自己却枯萎

;

没什么抵挡得住时光的毒手

，

除了生育，当他来要把你拘走。

、高黎平译

当吾心数钟报时，

看着明昼入噩夜，

当望罗兰春色逝，

乌黑卷发白若雪

;

目睹大树落叶纷，

绿荫不复牧人遮

;

夏日青苗成束捆，

挺白须芒装灵车。

不禁担忧君终人，

既然媚妍有尽时，

但见蕾绽已萎枯

;

时光镰刀不可挡，

除非留后替君扛。

、曾瑜阳译

时光款款无从数，

白昼褪去夜狰狞，

罗兰紫衣春容老，

青丝遍洒白如银

;

参天古木叶脱尽，

谁见昔日牧羊群

;

夏日苍翠何其短，

白须殓床自伤情

;

朱颜娇美终须虑

:

岁月雕琢最无形，

江山代有丽人出，

芳菲散尽总无影

;

欲阻时光皆徒然，

唯留儿孙血脉传。

Sonnet 18

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,
