True Love

William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of the minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
Oh, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempest and is never shaken;
It is 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, nor man ever loved.

真爱

威廉•莎士比亚

吕志鲁译
两颗真心结合,
哪怕水隔山挡;
如若因变生变,
爱情从此消亡。
啊, 不!
爱是万古灯塔,
巍然屹立海上;
威镇波翻浪涌,
傲视雨暴风狂;
爱是夜空北斗,
专为迷舟导航;
高度虽然可测,
价值难以度量。
犀利胜过刀剑,
无情最数时光;
容颜虽可催老,
真爱岂能欺罔?
岁月荏苒流逝,
爱共人生久长。
如果此言有误,
设若此说虚妄,
世上从无真爱,
诗人何必吟唱。
