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 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 ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st 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.

William Shakespeare

我怎么能够将你比作夏天？

你比夏天更美丽温婉。

狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残，

夏日的勾留何其短暂。

休恋那烈日当空，

转眼会云雾迷蒙；

休叹那百花凋零，

摧折于无常天命；

唯有你永恒的夏日长新，

你的美貌亦毫发无损。

死神也无缘将你幽禁，

你在我永恒的诗中长存。

只要世间尚有人吟诵我的诗篇，

这诗就将不朽，永葆你的芳颜。

我买过莎士比亚十四行诗这本小红书，看过很多首，也背过很多首，但唯一仍然记得并最喜欢的也就是为大多数英语学习者所钟爱的Sonnet 18，这首诗的韵律、节奏都让我着迷，甚至，我还为我心爱的人写过一首中文版的十四行诗，哈哈，就不献丑了

推荐大家看一部电影-《莎翁情史》，希望你能看到自己生活中的欢喜与感动

为自己喜欢的人写上几首诗，并不寒酸，永远真挚

William Shakespeare

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.
夏季周期未免过于短暂，
五月娇花就已在狂风侵袭中落败凋残。
那我又怎可将夏日与你相比？
它永不及你更为温润可爱。

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed.
阳光不会永远光芒万丈，
多半时日也还是阴云遮挡；
世间之美总躲不了终日凋残，
最多也只是靠着四季轮回随自然流转。

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
但属于你的夏日却永不会零落凋逝，
你的每一寸美也必定长存；
你的光彩，死亡阴影也无法加以遮蔽，
反将相伴诗行为后世相传。

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
只要人们鼻息尚存，双目可视
只要我的诗文还为人所诵，你的生命也就活在了每一个灵魂的记忆
