莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 123(mp3+双语)

No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change:
不，时光，你断不能夸说我在变：
Thy pyramids built up with newer might
你新建的金字塔，不管多雄壮，
To me are nothing novel, nothing strange;
对我一点不稀奇，一点不新鲜；
They are but dressings of a former sight.
它们只是旧景象披上了新装。
Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire
我们的生命太短促，所以羡慕
What thou dost foist upon us that is old,
你拿来蒙骗我们的那些旧货；
And rather make them born to our desire
幻想它们是我们心愿的产物，
Than think that we before have heard them told.
不肯信从前曾经有人谈起过。
Thy registers and thee I both defy,
对你和你的纪录我同样不卖账，
Not wondering at the present nor the past,
过去和现在都不能使我惊奇，
For thy records and what we see doth lie,
因为你的记载和我所见都扯谎，
Made more or less by thy continual haste.
都多少是你疾驰中造下的孽迹。
This I do vow and this shall ever be;
我敢这样发誓：我将万古不渝，
I will be true, despite thy scythe and thee.

不管你和你的镰刀多么锋利。
