原文Sonnet XVIII （Shall I compare thee to a summer's day）

　　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 complexion² 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 brag³ 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 ( 1564 - 1616 )

　　翻译十四行诗  NO.18 我想将你比作迷人的夏日

　　我想将你比作迷人的夏日，但汝却更显可爱和温存：狂野之风摧残着五月蓓蕾的柔媚，也一天天消逝着夏日的归期：苍天的明眸偶然泻出璀璨，却难以辉映他暗淡的容颜；一切明媚的色彩渐已消褪，过程是如此苍白；然而你却如永恒之夏，所有的美好永远也不会改变；就连死神也不敢对你嚣张，因你将永生于不朽的诗篇：只要世人一息尚存，你将和这诗篇永驻人间
