莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 131(mp3+双语)

Thou art as tyrannous, so as thou art,
尽管你不算美，你的暴虐并不
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruel;
亚于那些因美而骄横的女人；
For well thou know'st to my dear doting heart
因为你知道我的心那么糊涂，
Thou art the fairest and most precious jewel.
把你当作世上的至美和至珍。
Yet, in good faith, some say that thee behold
不过，说实话，见过你的人都说，
Thy face hath not the power to make love groan:
你的脸缺少使爱呻吟的魅力：
To say they err I dare not be so bold,
尽管我心中发誓反对这说法，
Although I swear it to myself alone.
我可还没有公开否认的勇气。
And, to be sure that is not false I swear,
当然我发的誓一点也不欺人；
A thousand groans, but thinking on thy face,
数不完的呻吟，一想起你的脸，
One on another's neck, do witness bear
马上联翩而来，可以为我作证：
Thy black is fairest in my judgment's place.
对于我，你的黑胜于一切秀妍。
In nothing art thou black save in thy deeds,
你一点也不黑，除了你的人品，
And thence this slander, as I think, proceeds.

可能为了这原故，诽谤才流行。
