that time of year thou may是tin me be hold (sonnet 73)

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
你從我身上能看到這個時令：
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
黃葉落光了，或者還剩下幾片
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
沒脫離那亂打冷戰的一簇簇枝梗——
Bare ruind choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
不再有好鳥歌唱的荒涼唱詩壇。
In me thou seest the twilight of such day,
你從我身上能看到這樣的黃昏：
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
落日的迴光沉入了西方的天際，
Which by-and-by black night doth take away,
死神的化身——黑夜，慢慢地臨近，
Deaths second self, that seals up all in rest.
擠走夕輝，把一切封進了安息。
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
你從我身上能看到這種火焰：
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
它躺在自己青春的餘燼上燃燒，
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
像躺在臨終的床上，一息奄奄，
Consumd with that which it was nourishd by.
跟供它養分的燃料一同毀滅掉。
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
看出了這個，你的愛會更加堅貞，
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
好好地愛著你快要失去的愛人！
