莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 106(mp3+双语)

When in the chronicle of wasted time
当我从那湮远的古代的纪年
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
发见那绝代风流人物的写真，
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme
艳色使得古老的歌咏也香艳，
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
颂赞着多情骑士和绝命佳人，
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
于是，从那些国色天姿的描画，
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
无论手脚、嘴唇、或眼睛或眉额，
I see their antique pen would have express'd
我发觉那些古拙的笔所表达
Even such a beauty as you master now.
恰好是你现在所占领的姿色。
So all their praises are but prophecies
所以他们的赞美无非是预言
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
我们这时代，一切都预告着你；
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,
不过他们观察只用想象的眼，
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:
还不够才华把你歌颂得尽致：
For we, which now behold these present days,
而我们，幸而得亲眼看见今天，
Had eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.
只有眼惊羡，却没有舌头咏叹。
