◎莎士比亚十四行诗第18首
◇曹明伦译
18 18
我是否可以把你比喻成夏天? Shall pare thee to a summer's day?

但你永恒的夏天将没有止尽, But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
你所拥有的美貌也不会消失, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
死神终难夸口你游荡于死荫, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
当你在不朽的诗中永葆盛时; When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
只要有人类生存,或人有眼睛, So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
我的诗就会流传并赋予你生命。 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
注:第11行语出《旧约•诗篇》第23篇第4节:“虽然我穿行于死荫之幽谷,但我不怕罹祸,因为你与我同在……”
