诗选
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.
（我怎能将你与夏日相比? /你比它更温和可爱： /动人的花蕾在五月咆哮的风中颤抖， /夏日的美好时光也绝不长久： ）
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;
（太阳的金色光芒虽然耀眼， /却常常以灰暗的面貌出现；/再美貌的物什都逃不过凋谢，/命运流转或无意间将其拆解；）
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 line to time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breath or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
（可你如夏日般不会褪色, /你的美貌也将永存; /死神无法夸耀你曾在它的阴影中游荡, /伴随永恒的诗篇你将留存。/只要人类生生不息 我的诗句能被见证, /你就会在传承中得到永生！）
