When I consider everything that grows
當(dāng)我忖思，一切充滿生機(jī)的事物
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
都只能興旺短暫的時(shí)光，
That this huge stage presenteth naught but shows
在世界這大舞臺(tái)上呈現(xiàn)的一切
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
都暗中受制于天上的星象；
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
當(dāng)我看到人類像草木一樣滋長，
Cheered and checked even by the selfsame sky,
任同一個(gè)蒼天隨意褒貶抑揚(yáng)，
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
少壯時(shí)神采飛動(dòng)，盛極而漸衰，
And wear their brave state out of memory;
往日的鼎盛貌逐步被人遺忘。
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
正是這種對(duì)無常世界的憂思，
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
使我想到你充滿青春朝氣的形象，
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay,
而今肆虐的時(shí)間和朽腐為伍，
To change your day of youth to sullied night;
要化你青春的潔白為黑夜的骯臟。
And, all in war with Time for love of you,
為了與你相愛，我將向時(shí)間提出宣戰(zhàn)，
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.
它使你枯萎，我令你移花接木換新裝。
