1、第18号十四行诗
我怎么能够把你来比作夏天呢?
你比它可爱也比它温婉:
狂风把五月的花蕾摇撼,
夏天的足迹匆匆而去:
天上的眼睛有时照得太酷烈,
它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽:
被机缘或无常的天道所摧折,
没有芳艳不凋残或不销毁。
但是你的长夏永远不会凋歇,
你的美艳亦不会遭到损失,
死神也力所不及,
当你在不朽的诗里与时同长。
只要一天有人类,或人有眼睛,
这诗将长存,并赐予你生命。
Sonnet 18
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 dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
2、哈姆雷特
你可以疑心星星是火把
你可以疑心太阳会转移
你可以疑心真理是谎话
可是我的爱永远没有改变
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
3、爱的徒劳
旭日不曾以如此温馨的蜜吻
给予蔷薇上晶莹的黎明清露,
有如你的慧眼以其灵辉耀映
那淋下在我颊上的深霄残雨;
皓月不曾以如此璀璨的光箭
穿过深海里透明澄沏的波心,
有如你的秀颜照射我的泪点,
一滴滴荡漾着你冰雪的精神。
每一颗泪珠是一辆小小的车,
载着你在我的悲哀之中驱驰;
那洋溢在我睫下的朵朵水花,
从忧愁里映现你胜利的荣姿;
请不要以我的泪作你的镜子,
你顾影自怜,我将要永远流泪。
啊,倾国倾城的仙女,你的颜容
使得我搜索枯肠也感觉词穷。
梁实秋的译诗版本:
太阳没有这样亲热的吻过
玫瑰花上的晶莹的朝露,
像你的眼睛那样的光芒四射,
射到我颊上整夜流的泪珠;
月亮也没有一半那样亮的光
照穿那透明的海面,
像你的脸之照耀我的泪水汪汪;
你在我的每滴泪里映现:
每滴泪像一辆车,载着你游行,
你在我的悲哀之中昂然而去。
你只消看看我的泪如泉涌,
我的苦恼正可表示你的胜利。
但勿顾影自怜;你会要把我的泪珠
当作镜子,让我永不停止的去哭。
啊,后中之后!你超越别人好多,
无法揣想,亦非凡人所能言说。
So sweet a kiss the golden sun gives not,
To those fresh morning drops upon the rose,
As thy eye-beams, when their fresh rays have smote
The night of dew that on my cheeks down flows:
Nor shines the silver moon one half so bright
Through the transparent bosom of the deep,
As doth thy face through tears of mine give light;
Thou shin'st in every tear that I do weep:
No drop but as a coach doth carry thee;
So ridest thou triumphing in my woe.
Do but behold the tears that swell in me,
And they thy glory through my grief will show:
But do not love thyself; then thou wilt keep
My tears for glasses, and still make me weep.
O queen of queens!how far thou dost excel,
No thought can think, nor tongue of mortal tell.
4、第154号十四行诗
有一次,小爱神睡着了,
身边木把上心火闪烁,
很多精灵微步凌波,
发誓绝不染人间烟火。
但见那最美的一个精灵,
将温暖众心的木把拾起,
小霸主生来掌管爱情,
在熟睡中被缴了武器。
精灵将木把在水中淬火,
冷水获得了永久的温热,
供人洗浴,祛除病魔,
我也来卸去爱的负荷。
不料想,爱情烧的水,
决难把爱情洗褪。
Sonnet 154
The little Love-god lying once asleep,
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
Whilst many nymphs that vowed chaste life to keep
Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand
The fairest votary took up that fire
Which many legions of true hearts had warmed;
And so the General of hot desire
Was, sleeping, by a virgin hand disarmed.
This brand she quenched in a cool well by,
Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,
Growing a bath and healthful remedy,
For men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall,
Came there for cure and this by that I prove,
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
5、第148号十四行诗
天啊,爱情如何捉弄我的眼?
让我面对真相却视而不见!
若看得见,怎会一片昏暗?
怎会是非混淆真假不辨?
如果我迷恋的确是美景,
何以众人说不见得妙?
如果不妙,这爱则证明,
情人的眼不如众人会瞧。
哎,情人的眼睛怎会雪亮?
它烦恼失眠泪水汪汪,
难怪我会迷于假象,
乌云不散徒有太阳光芒。
爱,你用泪水把我冲瞎,
纵有缺点我也难以明察。
Sonnet 148
O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight!
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's 'No.'
How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true,
That is so vex'd with watching and with tears?
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.
O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind,
Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find.
英文:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
中文译文:
我绝不承认两颗真心的结合
会有任何障碍;爱算不得真爱,
若是一看见人家改变便转舵,
或者一看见人家转弯便离开。
哦,决不!爱是亘古长明的塔灯,
它定睛望着风暴却兀不为动;
爱又是指引迷舟的一颗恒星,
你可量它多高,它所值却无穷。
爱不受时光的播弄,尽管红颜
和皓齿难免遭受时光的毒手;
爱并不因瞬息的改变而改变,
它巍然矗立直到末日的尽头。
