莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第20篇

 　　A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted, 你，我诗中的情妇兼情郎，

　　Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion; 是造化亲自绘出你女性的面庞，

　　A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted With shifting change, as is false women's fashion; 你虽有女人的柔婉的心，但没有轻佻女人掼有的反复无常。

　　An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling, 你的眼比她们的更真诚更明亮，

　　Gilding¹ the object whereupon it gazeth; 目光流盼处，事物顿染上金黄。

　　A man in hue² all hues³ in his controlling, 你有男子的风采，令一切风采低头，

　　Which steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth. 使众男子神迷，使众女人魂飞魄荡。

　　And for a woman wert thou first created, 造化的本意是要让你做一个女人，

　　Till Nature as she wrought⁴ thee fell a-doting, And by addition me of thee defeated, 但在造你时却如喝了迷魂汤，胡乱安一个东西在你身上，我于是

　　By adding one thing to my purpose nothing. 不能承欢于你，那东西我派不上用场。

　　But since she pricked⁵ thee out for women's pleasure, 既然造化造你是供女人取乐，

　　Mine be thy love, and thy love's use their treasure. 给我爱，但给女人做爱的宝藏。
