Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 18

　　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.

　　我怎么能夠把你來(lái)比作夏天?

　　你不獨(dú)比它可愛(ài)也比它溫婉：

　　狂風(fēng)把五月寵愛(ài)的嫩蕊作踐，

　　夏天出賃的期限又未免太短：

　　天上的眼睛有時(shí)照得太酷烈，

　　它那炳耀的金顏又常遭掩蔽：

　　被機(jī)緣或無(wú)常的天道所摧折，

　　沒(méi)有芳艷不終于雕殘或銷毀。

　　但是你的長(zhǎng)夏永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)雕落，

　　也不會(huì)損失你這皎潔的紅芳，

　　或死神夸口你在他影里漂泊，

　　當(dāng)你在不朽的詩(shī)里與時(shí)同長(zhǎng)。

　　只要一天有人類，或人有眼睛，

　　這詩(shī)將長(zhǎng)存，并且賜給你生命。
