William Shakespeare
• When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st • 你将永生亍不朽诗篇。 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, • 只要人能呼吸眼不盲， So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. • 这诗呾你将千秋永恒。
But thy eternal summer shall not fade, • 而你如仲夏繁茂不凋谢， Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; • 你的美毫发无损； Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, • 死神也不敢在你的丽影里踯躅，

Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? • 能否把你与夏日相比？ Thou art more lovely and more temperate; • 你却比炎夏更可爱温婉； Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, • 狂风摧残五月的蓓蕾， And summer’s lease hath all too short a date • 夏日的时光何其短暂。
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, • 休恋那丽日当空， And often is his gold complexion dimmed; • 转眼又于雾迷蒙； And every fair from fair sometime declines, • 休叹百花凋零， By chance, or natures changing course untrimed • 摧残亍无常即或天命。
