诗歌:My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing like the Sun
My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing like the Sun
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun；
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red：
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun；
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head．
I have seen roses damasked*, red and white,be in pink
But no such roses see I in her cheeks；
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks．
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound：
I grant I never saw a goddess go,---
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground．
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare．
我的爱人没有阳光一般明亮的眼睛
威廉•莎士比亚
我的爱人没有阳光一般明亮的眼睛,
也远远没有赛过珊瑚的红唇；
她的胸脯比白雪幽暗,
如麻的黑发长在她的头顶。
我见过红、白各色的玫瑰,
可玫瑰的颜色在她面颊上全无踪影；
如果说香水气味芬芳,
可她的呼吸中香味难寻。
我爱听她开口讲话,
虽远不如音乐悦耳动听：
我的爱人走路是常人的步态,
我承认从未见过仙女的身形。
然而,天啊,我的爱人弥足珍贵,
尽管难与那些美妙的比喻相提并论。
威廉•莎士比亚(William Shakespeare 1564—1616)英国剧作家 人们常常用各种美好的事物来比喻自己的爱人。而这首诗正好相反,直陈那些美好的比喻都不能用在自己的爱人身上。尽管这也比不上、那也比不上,但无法用语言 解释清楚的是,自己的爱人比一切都更加珍贵。
