Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath too short a date,
Sometimes too hot eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st:
Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

是否把你比作夏天的美？
可你比夏季更温和可爱：
狂风会吹落五月的花蕾，
夏季赁期太短结束太快，
天眼的光焰有时会太强，
金面孔上常用阴云出现：
一切美好事物难免消亡，
或因偶然，或自然变迁；
但你的长夏将永不消逝，
你的美也将会永远存在：
当把你写进与时共存的诗，
死神难夸口，阴影难覆盖。
只要人能呼吸，眼能看见，
这诗行就会让你生命重现。
