Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 64

　　The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;

　　When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed

　　And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;

　　When I have seen the hungry ocean gain

　　Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,

　　And the firm soil win of the watery main,

　　Increasing store with loss and loss with store;

　　When I have seen such interchange of state,

　　Or state itself confounded to decay;

　　Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,

　　That Time will come and take my love away.

　　This thought is as a death, which cannot choose

　　But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

　　當(dāng)我眼見(jiàn)前代的富麗和豪華

　　被時(shí)光的手毫不留情地磨滅;

　　當(dāng)巍峨的塔我眼見(jiàn)淪為碎瓦，

　　連不朽的銅也不免一場(chǎng)浩劫;

　　當(dāng)我眼見(jiàn)那欲壑難填的大海

　　一步一步把岸上的疆土侵蝕，

　　汪洋的水又漸漸被陸地覆蓋，

　　失既變成了得，得又變成了失;

　　當(dāng)我看見(jiàn)這一切擾攘和廢興，

　　或者連廢興一旦也化為烏有;

　　毀滅便教我再三這樣地反?。?/p>

　　時(shí)光終要跑來(lái)把我的愛(ài)帶走。

　　哦，多么致命的思想!它只能夠

　　哭著去把那刻刻怕失去的占有。
