<Sonnet No. 71 >　

【十四行詩第71首】  

by 威廉‧莎士比亞 William Shakespeare




No longer mourn for me when I am dead
當我死時不要再為我悲哀，


Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
當你聽到陰鬱沉重的鐘聲響起，


Give warning to the world that I am fled
向世人通告說我已經離開 


From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell:
這濁世去和最穢濁的蟲蛆同棲： 


Nay, if you read this line, remember not
不，如果你讀到此詩，不要回想 


The hand that writ it, for I love you so,
書寫它的手，因為我愛你至深， 


That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
情願被你甜蜜的思緒遺忘， 


If thinking on me then should make you woe.
如果想起我使你悲傷頓生。


O! if, I say, you look upon this verse,
噢，我說，如果你看到這詩， 


When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
那時我或已和泥土混為一團， 


Do not so much as my poor name rehearse;
請你連我可憐的名字都不要提， 


But let your love even with my life decay;
就讓你的愛隨著我的生命消散； 


Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
免得精明的世人看透你傷心處， 


And mock you with me after I am gone.
讓你在我死後跟著我一同受辱。
