莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第50篇

 　　How heavy do I journey on the way, 这一场跋涉真的令人神疲力倦，

　　When what I seek, my weary travel's end, 待如愿以偿地走到困顿旅途的终点，

　　Doth teach that ease and that repose¹ to say 一阵安逸接一场甜梦忽叫我省牾：

　　'Thus far the miles are measured from thy friend!'" 我和你又分隔得多么遥远。

　　The beast that bears me, tired with my woe², 压在我身下的坐骑不堪我的苦痛，

　　Plods³ dully on, to bear that weight in me, 缓缓前行，承载着我那一团沉重，

　　As if by some instinct the wretch⁴ did know 可怜的马儿似从某一种本能得知，

　　His rider loved not speed, being made from thee: 骑手爱的不是速度，越快越远离开你，

　　The bloody⁵ spur cannot provoke him on That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide; 带血的马刺也激不起他前进的兴头，发怒的骑手于是猛刺进他的皮肉。

　　Which heavily he answers with a groan⁶, 马儿忽然沉重地回报出一声呻呤，

　　More sharp to me than spurring to his side; 我听了钻心更甚于马刺刺进他的身。

　　For that same groan doth put this in my mind; 正是这一声低吟叫我突然清醒；

　　My grief lies onward⁷ and my joy behind. 快乐已成身后事，惆怅眼前生。
