Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexiondimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’est;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thougrowest:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Shall I compare you to a summer day?

You’re lovelier and milder.

Rough winds shake the pretty buds of May,

and summer doesn’t last nearly long enough.

Sometimes the sun shines too hot,

and often its golden face is darkened by clouds.

And everything beautiful stops being beautiful,

either by accident or simply in the course of nature.

But your eternal summer will never fade,

nor will you lose possession of your beauty,

nor shall death brag that you are wandering in the underworld,

once you’re captured in my eternal verses.

As long as men are alive and have eyes with which to see,

this poem will live and keep you alive.

中文翻译：（摘自网络）

能否把你比作夏日璀璨？
你却比炎夏更可爱温存；
狂风摧残五月花蕊娇妍，
夏天匆匆离去毫不停顿。

苍天明眸有时过于灼热，
金色脸容往往蒙上阴翳；
一切优美形象不免褪色，
偶然摧折或自然地老去。

而你如仲夏繁茂不凋谢，
秀雅风姿将永远翩翩；
死神无法逼你气息奄奄，
你将永生于不朽诗篇。

只要人能呼吸眼不盲，
这诗和你将千秋流芳。
