莎士比亚英文诗歌1

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage

我爱的主呵，你的高尚的道德

Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,

使我这臣属的忠诚与你紧系，

To thee I send this written ambassage,

我向你派遣这位手书的使者，

To witness duty, not to show my wit.

来证实我忠诚，不是来炫耀才力。

Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine

忠诚这么大，可我的才力不中用——

May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,

没词语来表达，使忠诚显得贫乏;

But that I hope some good conceit of thine

但是，我希望在你深思的灵魂中，

In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;

有坦率可亲的好念头会来收藏它：

Till whatsoever star that guides my moving

要等到哪一颗引导我行程的星宿

Points on me graciously with fair aspect,

和颜悦地给我指出了好运气，

And puts apparel on my tottered loving

并给我褴褛的爱心穿上了锦裘，

To show me worthy of thy sweet respect.

以表示我配承受你关注的美意：

Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee;

到那时，我才敢夸说我爱你多深，

1

Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove me.

才愿显示我能给你考验的灵魂。

莎士比亚英文诗歌2

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,

精疲力竭，我赶快到床上躺下，

The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;

去歇息我那整天劳顿的四肢;

But then begins a journey in my head,

但马上我的头脑又整装出发，

To work my mind, when body's work's expired:

以劳我的心，当我身已得休息。

For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,

因为我的思想，不辞离乡背井，

Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,

虔诚地趱程要到你那里进香，

And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,

睁大我这双沉沉欲睡的眼睛，

Looking on darkness which the blind do see

向着瞎子看得见的黑暗凝望;

Save that my soul's imaginary sight

不过我的灵魂，凭着它的幻眼，

Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,

把你的倩影献给我失明的双眸，

Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,

像颗明珠在阴森的夜里高悬，

Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.

变老丑的黑夜为明丽的白昼。

Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,

这样，日里我的腿，夜里我的心，

2

For thee and for myself no quiet find.

为你、为我自己，都得不着安宁。

莎士比亚英文诗歌3

How can I then return in happy plight,

那么，我怎么能够喜洋洋归来，

That am debarr'd the benefit of rest?

既然得不着片刻身心的安息?

When day's oppression is not eased by night,

当白天的压逼入夜并不稍衰，

But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?

只是夜继日、日又继夜地压逼?

And each, though enemies to either's reign,

日和夜平时虽事事各不相下，

Do in consent shake hands to torture me;

却互相携手来把我轮流挫折，

The one by toil, the other to complain

一个用跋涉，一个却呶呶怒骂，

How far I toil, still farther off from thee.

说我离开你更远，虽整天跋涉。

I tell the day, to please them thou art bright

为讨好白天，我告它你是光明，

And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:

在阴云密布时你将把它映照。

So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,

我又这样说去讨黑夜的欢心：

When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.

当星星不眨眼，你将为它闪耀。

But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer

但天天白天尽拖长我的苦痛，

3

And night doth nightly make grief's strength seem stronger.

夜夜黑夜又使我的忧思转凶。

莎士比亚英文诗歌4

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

愿我和另一个一样富于希望，

Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,

面貌相似，又和他一样广交游，

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

希求这人的渊博，那人的内行，

With what I most enjoy contented least;

最赏心的乐事觉得最不对头;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

可是，当我正要这样看轻自己，

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

忽然想起了你，于是我的精神，

Like to the lark at break of day arising

便像云雀破晓从阴霾的大地

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

振翮上升，高唱着圣歌在天门：

For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings

一想起你的爱使我那么富有，

4

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

和帝王换位我也不屑于屈就。

And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er

The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,

那许多呜咽过的呜咽的旧账，

Which I new pay as if not paid before.

And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.

而你，他们的总和，尽有我的心。

Exceeded by the height of happier men.

Full many a glorious morning have I seen

Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,

用他那至尊的眼媚悦着山顶，

Kissing with golden face the meadows green,

金的脸庞吻着青碧的草场，

Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

把黯淡的溪水镀成一片黄金：

Anon permit the basest clouds to ride

To dry the rain on my storm-beaten face,

我脸上淋漓的雨点便已满足?
