莎士比亚十四行诗全集：Sonnet 60(mp3+双语)

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
像波浪滔滔不息地滚向沙滩：
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
我们的光阴息息奔赴着终点；
Each changing place with that which goes before,
后浪和前浪不断地循环替换，
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
前推后拥，一个个在奋勇争先。
Nativity, once in the main of light,
生辰，一度涌现于光明的金海，
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
爬行到壮年，然后，既登上极顶，
Crooked elipses 'gainst his glory fight,
凶冥的日蚀便遮没它的光彩，
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
时光又撕毁了它从前的赠品。
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
时光戳破了青春颊上的光艳，
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
在美的前额挖下深陷的战壕，
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
自然的至珍都被它肆意狂喊，
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
一切挺立的都难逃它的镰刀：
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
可是我的诗未来将屹立千古，
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
歌颂你的美德，不管它多残酷！
