Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,

　　既然銅、石、或大地、或無邊的海，

　　But sad mortality o'er-sways their power,

　　沒有不屈服于那陰慘的無常，

　　How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,

　　美，她的活力比一朵花還柔脆，

　　Whose action is no stronger than a flower?

　　怎能和他那肅殺的嚴重抵抗?

　　O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out

　　哦，夏天溫馨的呼息怎能支持

　　Against the wreckful siege of battering days,

　　殘暴的日子刻刻猛烈的轟炸，

　　When rocks impregnable are not so stout,

　　當巖石，無論多么么險固，或鋼扉，

　　Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?

　　無論多堅強，都要被時光熔化?

　　O fearful meditation! where, alack,

　　哦，駭人的思想!時光的珍飾，

　　Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?

　　唉，怎能夠不被收進時光的寶箱?

　　Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?

　　什么勁手能挽他的捷足回來，

　　Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?

　　或者誰能禁止他把美麗奪搶?

　　O, none, unless this miracle have might,

　　哦，沒有誰，除非這奇跡有力量：

　　That in black ink my love may still shine bright.

　　我的愛在翰墨里永久放光芒。

莎士比亞英文詩歌5首朗讀（篇2）

　　When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced

　　當我眼見前代的富麗和豪華

　　The rich proud cost of outworn buried age;

　　被時光的手毫不留情地磨滅;

　　When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed

　　當巍峨的塔我眼見淪為碎瓦，

　　And brass eternal slave to mortal rage;

　　連不朽的銅也不免一場浩劫;

　　When I have seen the hungry ocean gain

　　當我眼見那欲壑難填的大海

　　Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,

　　一步一步把岸上的疆土侵蝕，

　　And the firm soil win of the watery main,

　　汪洋的水又漸漸被陸地覆蓋，

　　Increasing store with loss and loss with store;

　　失既變成了得，得又變成了失;

　　When I have seen such interchange of state,

　　當我看見這一切擾攘和廢興，

　　Or state itself confounded to decay;

　　或者連廢興一旦也化為烏有;

　　Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,

　　毀滅便教我再三這樣地反省：

　　That Time will come and take my love away.

　　時光終要跑來把我的愛帶走。

　　This thought is as a death, which cannot choose

　　哦，多么致命的思想!它只能夠

　　But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

　　哭著去把那刻刻怕失去的占有。

莎士比亞英文詩歌5首朗讀（篇3）

　　Is it thy will thy image should keep open

　　你是否故意用影子使我垂垂

　　My heavy eyelids to the weary night?

　　欲閉的眼睛睜向厭厭的長夜?

　　Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken,

　　你是否要我輾轉反側不成寐，

　　While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?

　　用你的影子來玩弄我的視野?

　　Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee

　　那可是從你那里派來的靈魂

　　So far from home into my deeds to pry,

　　遠離了家園，來刺探我的行為，

　　To find out shames and idle hours in me,

　　來找我的荒廢和恥辱的時辰，

　　The scope and tenor of thy jealousy?

　　和執行你的妒忌的職權和范圍?

　　O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great:

　　不呀!你的愛，雖多，并不那么大：

　　It is my love that keeps mine eye awake;

　　是我的愛使我張開我的眼睛，

　　Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat,

　　是我的真情把我的睡眠打垮，

　　To play the watchman ever for thy sake:

　　為你的緣故一夜守候到天明!

　　For thee watch I whilst thou dost wake elsewhere,

　　我為你守夜，而你在別處清醒，

　　From me far off, with others all too near.

　　遠遠背著我，和別人卻太靠近。

　　莎士比亞英文詩歌2

　　Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye

　　自愛這罪惡占據著我的眼睛，

　　And all my soul and all my every part;

　　我整個的靈魂和我身體各部;

　　And for this sin there is no remedy,

　　而對這罪惡什么藥石都無靈，

　　It is so grounded inward in my heart.

　　在我心內扎根扎得那么深固。

　　Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,

　　我相信我自己的眉目最秀麗，

　　No shape so true, no truth of such account;

　　態度最率真，胸懷又那么俊偉;

　　And for myself mine own worth do define,

　　我的優點對我這樣估計自己：

　　As I all other in all worths surmount.

　　不管哪一方面我都出類拔萃。

　　But when my glass shows me myself indeed,

　　但當我的鏡子照出我的真相，

　　Beated and chopp'd with tann'd antiquity,

　　全被那焦黑的老年剁得稀爛，

　　Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;

　　我對于自愛又有相反的感想：

　　Self so self-loving were iniquity.

　　這樣溺愛著自己實在是罪愆。

　　'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,

　　我歌頌自己就等于把你歌頌，

　　Painting my age with beauty of thy days.

　　用你的青春來粉刷我的隆冬。

莎士比亞英文詩歌5首朗讀（篇4）

　　Against my love shall be, as I am now,

　　像我現在一樣，我愛人將不免

　　With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'er-worn;

　　被時光的毒手所粉碎和消耗，

　　When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow

　　當時辰吮干他的血，使他的臉

　　With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn

　　布滿了皺紋;當他韶年的清朝

　　Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night,

　　已經爬到暮年的巉巖的黑夜，

　　And all those beauties whereof now he's king

　　使他所占領的一切風流逸韻

　　Are vanishing or vanish'd out of sight,

　　都漸漸消滅或已經全部消滅，

　　Stealing away the treasure of his spring;

　　偷走了他的春天所有的至珍;

　　For such a time do I now fortify

　　為那時候我現在就厲兵秣馬

　　Against confounding age's cruel knife,

　　去抵抗兇暴時光的殘酷利刃，

　　That he shall never cut from memory

　　使他無法把我愛的芳菲抹煞，

　　My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life:

　　雖則他能夠砍斷我愛的生命。

　　His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,

　　他的豐韻將在這些詩里現形，

　　And they shall live, and he in them still green.

　　墨跡長在，而他也將萬古長青。
