英音客棧之每日英語說 第51期:十四行詩
Sonnet 18 (Read by Juniper)
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
Sonnet 18
十四行詩（第18首）
——Shakespeare
莎士比亞（譯文：梁實秋）
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
我可能把你和夏天相比擬？
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
你比夏天更可愛更溫和；
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
狂風會把五月的花苞吹落地，
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
夏天也嫌太短促，匆匆而過：
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
有時太陽照得太熱，
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
常常又遮暗他的金色的臉；
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
美的事物總不免要凋落，
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed.
偶然的，或是隨自然變化而流轉。
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
但是你的永恆之夏不會褪色；
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
你不會失去你的俊美的儀容；
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
死神不能誇說你在他的陰影裏面走着，
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
如果你在這不朽的詩句裏獲得了永生；
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
只要人們能呼吸，眼睛能看東西，
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
此詩就會不朽，使你永久生存下去
