Sonnet 116/莎士比亞

粘利文

Let me not to the marraige of true minds
Admit impediments.Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no!it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It\'s the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth\'s unknown,although his height be taken.
Love\'s not Time\'s fool,though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle\'s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ,not man ever loved.

后头一段真有意思，不愧是语言和故事的高手。
结尾似乎太快。

王敖

Whose worth\'s unknown,although his height be taken.

粘利文

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

真惭愧 我的英语tmd好烂

王敖

这有什么惭愧的。莎士比亚的英语并不是让人一眼就看明白的，他的十四行诗
有的写得很复杂，语言也和现代英语习惯很不同，历来注释版本很多。中文的翻译里面
很难看出原文的修辞结构。

拿一首杜甫给学过几年中文的外国人读，也是一样。
