经典双语美文｜To the Virgins, to Make M

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time

致少女，珍惜时光

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying:

玫瑰出花蕾，堪折直须折： 时光飞逝不停歇；

And this same flower that smiles to-day To-morrow will be dying.

一朵鲜花美，今日笑微微， 明日或许即凋萎。

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he's a-getting,

太阳如天灯，熠熠光辉生， 当其渐行渐高升，

The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he's to setting.

亦渐行渐远，其轨迹渐完， 渐近落山近傍晚。

That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer;

年华最初时，年华最美丽， 血气方刚有活力；

But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former.

一旦此时过，每况将愈下， 后来时光比前差。

Then be not coy, but use your time, And while ye may, go marry:

――请勿再忸怩，请将韶华惜， 快趁此时结连理；

For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.

青春好时光，怎可来错过， 一旦错过永蹉跎。
