William Shakespeare - The Sonnets (40) 汉译

XL<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all;

What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?

No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call;

All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.

Then, if for my love thou my love receivest,

I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;

But yet be blam’d, if thou thyself deceives

By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.

I do forgive thy robbery, gentle thief,

Although thou steal thee all my poverty;

And yet, love knows it is a greater grief

To bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury.

    Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,

    Kill me with spites; yet we must not be foes.

 

40

 

夺掉我的爱，爱呵，请通通夺去；

看看比你已有的能多些什么？

没什么，爱呵，称得上真情实义；

我所爱早属你，纵使不添这个。

那么，你为爱我而接受我所爱，

我不能对你这享受加以责备；

但得受责备，若甘心自我欺绐，

你故意贪尝不愿接受的东西。

我可以原谅你的掠夺，温柔贼，

虽然你把我仅有的通通偷走；

可是，忍受爱情的暗算，爱晓得，

比憎恨的明伤是更大的烦忧。

风流的妩媚，连你的恶也妩媚，

尽管毒杀我，我们可别相仇视。
