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,

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.

(By William Shakespeare )

我怎么能夠把你來比作夏天?

你不獨比它可愛也比它溫婉：

狂風把五月寵愛的嫩蕊作踐，

夏天出賃的期限又未免太短：

天上的眼睛有時照得太酷烈，

它那炳耀的金顏又常遭掩蔽：

被機緣或無常的天道所摧折，

沒有芳艷不終于雕殘或銷毀。

但是你的長夏永遠不會雕落，

也不會損失你這皎潔的紅芳，

或死神夸口你在他影里漂泊，

當你在不朽的詩里與時同長。

只要一天有人類，或人有眼睛，

這詩將長存，并且賜給你生命。
