真爱（翻译点评）

                  吕志鲁翻译点评

     下例是一首经典的格律诗，人们称之为“商赖体”(sonnet）或“十四行诗”。这种经典格律诗也可以读懂译好。汉语用仿古六言诗对译，古朴醇厚，酣畅淋漓。

             威廉•莎士比亚

             两颗真心结合,
             哪怕水隔山挡;
             如若因变生变,
             爱情从此消亡。
             啊, 不!
             爱是万古灯塔,
             巍然屹立海上;
             威镇波翻浪涌,
             傲视雨暴风狂;
             爱是夜空北斗,
             专为迷舟导航;
             高度虽然可测,
             价值难以度量。
             犀利胜过刀剑, 
             无情最数时光;
             容颜虽可催老,
             真爱岂能欺罔?
             岁月荏苒流逝,
             爱共人生久长。
             如果此言有误,
             设若此说虚妄,
             世上从无真爱,
             诗人何必吟唱。

       True Love 

    William Shakespeare


 Let me not to the marriage of the minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
Oh, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempest and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
 If this be error, and upon me proved,
 I never writ, nor man ever loved.
