莎士比亚十四行诗第三十六首
The Thirty‑ sixth Sonnet of William Shakespeare
(英)莎士比亚 著 (中)魏纯明 译
XXXVI
Let me confess that we two must be twain,
Although our undivided loves are one:
So shall those blots that do with me remain,
Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
In our two loves there is but one respect,
Though in our lives a separable spite,
Which, though it alter not love's sole effect,
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:
But do not so, I love thee in suchsort,
As thou being mine, mine is thy goodreport.

译文一:旧体诗
承认我们要分离,天衣无缝浑一体。
杀鸡焉用宰牛刀,我自承担我瑕疵。
我们相爱合为一,尽管生活强分开。
纵然不改真纯爱,偷掉诸多甜蜜时。
不再云汝吾知己,唯恐玷你因我非。
除非甘心名蒙羞,亦莫唱我赞美诗。
既然爱你莫这般,你属于我我如此。
译文二:现代诗
让我承认我们俩一定要分离,
尽管我们分不开的爱是一体。
将不用你分担由我独自承起,
这样,在我身上留许多瑕疵。
你我的相爱全出于一片至诚,
尽管不同的生活把我们隔开。
这纵然改变不了爱情的真纯,
却偷掉许多密约甜蜜的佳期。
我再也不会高声认你做知己,
生怕你含垢因我可哀的是非。
除非你甘心使你的名字蒙羞,
你也不能当众为我唱赞美诗。
可别这样做;我既然这样爱你,
你是我的,我的美就是你的美。
