你将和这诗篇永驻人间

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
我想将你比作迷人的夏日，
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
但汝却更显可爱和温存：
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
狂野之风摧残着五月蓓蕾的柔媚，
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
也一天天消逝着夏日的归期：
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
苍天的明眸偶然泻出璀璨，
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
却难以辉映他暗淡的容颜；
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
一切明媚的色彩渐已消褪，
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
过程是如此苍白；
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
然而你却如永恒之夏，
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
所有的美好永远也不会改变；
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
就连死神也不敢对你嚣张，
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
因你将永生于不朽的诗篇：
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
只要世人一息尚存，
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
你将和这诗篇永驻人间。
-----by William Shakespeare ( 1564 - 1616 )
