莎士比亚十四行诗

One

From fairest creatures we desire increase,

That thereby beauty's rose might never die,

But as the riper should by time decease,

His tender heir might bear his memory:

But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,

Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,

Making a famine where abundance lies,

Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:

Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,

And only herald to the gaudy spring,

Within thine own bud buriest thy content,

And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:

Pity the world, or else this glutton be,

To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

今天兴致很好，就把读莎士比亚的十四行情诗拿来看了看，看到第一句就让我想死，因为我的是英汉版本的，它的翻译是这样的：

貌美的人儿要多多生育

使美丽的玫瑰永远不朽

盛开的花朵总有凋零的时候

让后代来延续他的记忆

……

以我三脚猫的功夫，我是不可能全懂他的原意，但是这个翻译也太菜了，一看所有的诗意都没了，不知道这个版本的书是怎么流入市场的，还让我给买了，无奈自己英文水平有限，怕看不懂，强力推荐学好英语看原版，看翻译的容易误导莎士比亚十四行情诗
