莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第82篇

 　　I grant thou wert not married to my Muse¹ And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook 我知你并非和我的诗神有过姻亲，因而你大可以披览别人的诗文，

　　The dedicated² words which writers use Of their fair subject, blessing³ every book 看他们如何为你舞文弄墨，你不妨以赞许的恩威细斟漫评。

　　Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue⁴, 你两全其美，不管是外表还是学问，

　　Finding thy worth a limit past my praise, 知我这颓笔难为你的大德写真，

　　And therefore art enforced to seek anew Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days 你因此不得不另请高明，好将你新时代的肖像来一番更新。

　　And do so, love; yet when they have devised What strained touches rhetoric⁵ can lend, 好吧，我的爱，就这样倒也成，让他们施朱着粉、辞藻用尽，

　　Thou truly fair wert truly sympathized In true plain words by thy true-telling friend; 你那实在的美色只在我诗里留存，尽管我辞彩淡，话儿却说得真真。

　　And their gross painting might be better used 他们的浓脂可使贫血脸生红晕，

　　Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abused. 但对你的芳容却简直白费苦心。
