莎士比亚十四行诗第九十一、第九十二首

作者：十方

91

有人炫耀出身，有人炫耀技艺，

有人炫耀财富，有人炫耀力气；

有人炫耀衣装，有人炫耀奢靡，

有人炫耀鹰犬，有人炫耀坐骑；

每种爱好都有其乐趣，

其中的欢乐都非余者可比；

但这些癖好都非我所欲，

我将它们的全部欢乐汇集；

你的爱于我远胜豪门显第，

比珍宝更珍，比华服更贵；

比拥有雄鹰骏马更为欣喜，

有了你，始令我傲笑侪辈；

不幸的是你随时可将这欢乐拿走，

只留给我连绵不尽的忧愁。

Sonnet 91

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,

Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force;

Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill;

Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;

And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,

Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:

But these particulars are not my measure;

All these I better in one general best.

Thy love is better than high birth to me,

Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,

Of more delight than hawks or horses be;

And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:

Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take

All this away, and me most wretched make.

92

你尽管把自己偷走，

你曾许我到生命的尽头；

生命不会比爱更久，

只因为爱而苟且残留；

故我不惧这灭顶之灾，

一丁点便可教我丧命殒身；

我知道我只要调整自己的心态，

不令它依你的情绪来决定；

你的反复不再令我烦郁，

不再为你的背弃而纡结；

看我找到的方式多么幸福，

幸福地相爱，幸福地诀别；

人世间哪有不怕玷污的完美，

或你已变心，而我全然不知。

Sonnet 92

But do thy worst to steal thyself away,

For term of life thou art assured mine;

And life no longer than thy love will stay,

For it depends upon that love of thine.

Then need I not to fear the worst of wrongs,

When in the least of them my life hath end.

I see a better state to me belongs

Than that which on thy humour doth depend:

Thou canst not vex me with inconstant mind,

Since that my life on thy revolt doth lie.

O! what a happy title do I find,

Happy to have thy love, happy to die:

But what's so blessed-fair that fears no blot?

Thou mayst be false, and yet I know it not.
