英语美文背诵 情人眼里出西施

Sonnet¹ 130 by William Shakespeare

第十四行诗130 威廉·莎士比亚

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

我情妇的眼睛一点不像太阳；珊瑚比她的嘴唇还要红得多：

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

雪若算白，她的胸就暗褐无光，发若是铁丝，她头上铁丝婆娑。

I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, but no such roses see I in her cheeks;

我见过红白的玫瑰，轻纱一般；她颊上却找不到这样的玫瑰；

And in some perfumes is there more delight than in the breath that from my mistress reeks².

有许多芳香非常逗引人喜欢，我情妇的呼吸并没有这香味。

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know that music hath a far more pleasing sound;

我爱听她谈话，可是我很清楚音乐的悦耳远胜于她的嗓子；

I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

我承认从没有见过女神走路，我情妇走路时候却脚踏实地：

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare as any she belied³ with false compare.

可是，我敢指天发誓，我的爱侣胜似任何被捧作天仙的美女。
