双语有声阅读：莎士比亚十四行诗第18首

我能否将你比作夏天？

你比夏天更美丽温婉。

 

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

 

Thou art more lovely and more temperate¹:

 

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

 

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

 

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

 

And often is his gold complexion² 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 owest;

 

Nor shall Death brag³ thou wander'st in his shade,

 

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

 

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

 

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

 

(By William Shakespeare )

 

美人当青春，婉丽自销魂。

 

焉知东风恶，良辰讵待人？

 

朝日何皋皋，暮色何昏昏。

 

众芳俱摇落，天意倩谁询？

 

我有丹青笔，腾挪似有神。

 

为君驻颜色，风霜不可侵。

 

丹青亦难久，罔若诗与琴？

 

延年歌一曲，万古扬清芬。
