爱的徒劳第四幕第二场

Love's Labour's Lost, 4. 2.110-23

爱的徒劳第四幕第二场

If love make me forsworn, how shall I swear to love?

爱让我伪誓我岂能对爱旦旦

O never faith could hold, if not to beauty vow'd:

美在眼前我又怎会忠贞不变

Though to myself forsworn, to thee I'll constant prove;

虽对自己背誓可对你情弥坚

Those thoughts, to me like oaks, to thee like osiers bow'd.  

   
对我如橡直，可对你如柳弯

Study his bias leaves, and makes his book thine eyes,

读他片片爱叶以他的书为眼

Where all those pleasures live that art can comprehend.

众妙之门艺术全都可以包含

If knowldge be the mark, to know thee shall suffice.

知你便晓得知识海洋的浩瀚

Well learned is that tongue that well can thee commend;

那根博学的舌头将大加称赞

All ignorant that soul that sees thee without wonder;

不会仰慕你的愚人无知肤浅

Which is to me some praise, that I thy parts admire:  

你音如天籁，你的黛眉养眼

Thine eye Jove's lightning seems, thy voice his dreadful thunder,

你声似雷霆，明眸犹如闪电

Which, not to anger bent, is music and sweet fire.

平静时是妙音与温暖的火焰

Celestial as thou art, O do not love that wrong,

噢！请别错爱! 因你是天仙

To sing heaven's praise with such an earthly tongue.   

不要用世俗之唇舌赞美上天。
