Sonnet¹ 116 - William Shakespeare

十四行诗 第116首 - William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments.

别让我承认，两颗真心的结俦会有什么障碍：

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration² finds, Or bends with the remover to remove:

那种爱不是爱，如果一人想要变心就去找借口，或者一人见异思迁就把爱心改，

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

哦，不，爱是固定的灯塔，俨然面对海上的风暴，永不动摇；

It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

它是天上的星座，指引航船，高度可测定，价值无人知道。

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy³ lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come:

爱情不应是时间玩偶，其弯镰虽然会来刈割玫瑰，红颜难留：

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom⁴.

爱情时光虽短暂，却不会变迁，直到世界末日，爱到天长地久。

If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ⁵, nor no man ever loved.

如果我写的不对，证实有错，算我什么没写，也无人爱过。
