William Shakespeare - The Sonnets (89) 汉译

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

 

Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault,

And I will comment upon that offence,

Speak of my lameness, and I straight will halt:

Against thy reasons making no defence.

Thou canst not (love) disgrace me half so ill,

To set a form upon desired change,

As I’ll my self disgrace, knowing thy will,

I will acquaintance strangle and look strange:

Be absent from thy walks and in my tongue,

Thy sweet beloved name no more shall dwell,

Lest I (too much profane) should do it wronk:

And haply of our old acquaintance tell.

For thee, against my self I’ll vow debate,

For I must ne’er love him whom thou dost hate.

 

89

 

说你抛弃我是为了我的过失，

我立刻会对这冒犯加以阐说：

叫我做瘸子，我马上两脚都躄，

对你的理由绝不作任何反驳。

为了替你的反复无常找借口，

爱呵，凭你怎样侮辱我，总比不上

我侮辱自己来得厉害；既看透

你心肠，我就要绞杀交情，假装

路人避开你；你那可爱的名字，

那么香，将永不挂在我的舌头，

生怕我，太亵渎了，会把它委屈；

万一还会把我们的旧欢泄漏。

　　我为你将展尽辩才反对自己，

　　因为你所憎恶的，我绝不爱惜。
