Sonnet 14: 莎士比亞十四行詩 試譯 《我的推斷雖然不是摘自那些星星》

Sonnet 14

Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck; And yet methinks I have Astronomy, But not to tell of good or evil luck, Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality; Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell, Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind, Or say with princes if it shall go well By oft predict that I in heaven find: But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive, And, constant stars, in them I read such art As truth and beauty shall together thrive, If from thyself, to store thou wouldst convert;   Or else of thee this I prognosticate:   Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date.

我的推斷雖然不是摘自那些星星，
然而我覺得我也懂些占星的學問，
但是我卻不能預知好運或者厄運，
或瘟疫，或饑饉，或四季的情形。
我也無法預測那些短短的時分，
指向每一陣雷電，驟雨，和疾風，
或是與王子們卜算明日是否亨通，
根據我常發現的預言，刻在蒼穹：
但從你的雙眼我就明白知識智慧，
且眾恒星中，我讀到這樣的寶貝
“真理和美麗，將會一同興旺發達，”
“假如你自身回轉將自己複製儲備”；
否則關於你的前途，我作此預測：
“你終結之日真理和美麗一同殞滅。”
