莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第129篇

 　　The expense of spirit in a waste of shame Is lust¹ in action; and till action, lust Is perjured², murderous, bloody³, full of blame, 损神，耗精，愧煞了浪子风流，都只为纵欲眠花昏柳，阴谋，好杀，赌假咒，坏事做到头；

　　Savage⁴, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust, 心毒手狠，野蛮粗暴，背信弃义不知羞。

　　Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight, 才尝得云雨乐，转眼意趣休。

　　Past reason hunted, and no sooner had 舍命追求，一到手，没来由，

　　Past reason hated, as a swallow'd bait On purpose laid to make the taker mad; 便厌腻个透。呀，恰像是钓钩，但吞香饵，管叫你六神无主不自由。

　　Mad in pursuit and in possession so; 求时疯狂，得时也疯狂，

　　Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme; 曾有，现有，还想有，要玩总玩不够。

　　A bliss⁵ in proof, and proved, a very woe⁶; 适才是甜头，转瞬成苦头。

　　Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream. 求欢同枕前，梦破云雨后。

　　All this the world well knows; yet none knows well To shun⁷ the heaven that leads men to this hell. 唉，普天下谁不知这般儿歹症候，却避不了偏往这通阴曹的天堂路儿上走!
