莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 146(mp3+双语)

Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth,
可怜的灵魂，万恶身躯的中心，
these rebel powers that thee array;
被围攻你的叛逆势力所俘掳，
Why dost thou pine within and suffer dearth,
为何在暗中憔悴，忍受着饥馑，
Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?
却把外壁妆得那么堂皇丽都？
Why so large cost, having so short a lease,
赁期那么短，这倾颓中的大厦
Dost thou upon thy fading mansion spend?
难道还值得你这样铺张浪费？
Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,
是否要让蛆虫来继承这奢华，
Eat up thy charge? is this thy body's end?
把它吃光？这可是肉体的依皈？
Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss,
所以，灵魂，请拿你仆人来度日，
And let that pine to aggravate thy store;
让他消瘦，以便充实你的贮藏，
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;
拿无用时间来兑换永欠租期，
Within be fed, without be rich no more:
让内心得滋养，别管外表堂皇：
So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on men,
这样，你将吃掉那吃人的死神，
And Death once dead, there's no more dying then.

而死神一死，世上就永无死人。
