Sonnet 21 莎士比亞十四行詩 第21首 《所以至於我，與別的詩人大不一樣》 試譯

Sonnet 21

所以至於我，與別的詩人大不一樣，
別人被畫出的美人觸動而寫出詩行，
因其曼妙的裝扮，而將其比作天堂，
以為各樣美物與他的美麗彼此相當，

並且驕傲地將他與美物作同類比較
比作日月，和地裏海裏的玉石奇寶
比作四月初開的花和一切珍稀物藏
天堂的空氣充滿這巨大圓邊的裙袍

噢，但是我卻真實地寫出我的真愛，
也請相信我，如同仼何母親的小孩，
我的愛是一樣美好，雖不像金蠟燭
在天堂的空氣裏矗立著放射出異彩：
讓那些愛說陳詞濫調的人繼續說吧，
我將不誇讚，因為我不想將他出賣。

Sonnet 21

So is it not with me as with that Muse,
Stirred by a painted beauty to his verse,
Who heaven itself for ornament doth use
And every fair with his fair doth rehearse,
Making a couplement of proud compare
With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems,
With April's first-born flowers, and all things rare,
That heaven's air in this  huge rondure hems.
O let me, true in love but truly write,
And then believe me: my love is as fair
As any mother's child, though not so bright
As those gold candles fixed in heaven's air:
Let them say more that like of hearsay well;
I will not praise that purpose not to sell.
