十四行诗第12首

Answer 1

Shakespeare Sonnet 12莎士比亚十四行诗
　　When I do count the clock that tells the time,
　　And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
　　When I behold the violet past prime,
　　And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white:
　　When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
　　Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
　　And summer's green, all girded up in sheaves,
　　Born on the bier with white and bristly beard;
　　Then of thy beauty do I question make,
　　That thou among the wastes of time must go,
　　Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake,
　　And die as fast as they see others grow;
　　And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
　　Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
　　翻译：
　　当我数着壁上报时的自鸣钟，
　　见明媚的白昼坠入狰狞的夜，
　　当我凝望着紫罗兰老了春容，
　　青丝的卷发遍洒着皑皑白雪;
　　当我看见参天的树枝叶尽脱，
　　它不久前曾荫蔽喘息的牛羊;
　　夏天的青翠一束一束地就缚，
　　带着坚挺的白须被舁上殓床;
　　于是我不禁为你的朱颜焦虑:
　　终有天你要加入时光的废堆，
　　既然美和芳菲都把自己抛弃，
　　眼看着别人生长自己却枯萎;
　　没什么抵挡得住时光的毒手 ，
　　除了生育，当他来要把你拘走。
