My Mistress's Eyes

（单词翻译）

My Mistress's Eyes

 

My mistress’s eyes are nothing like the sun

¹⁾Coral is far more red than her lips’ red,

If snow be white, why then her breasts are ²⁾dun,

If hairs be wires, black wires grow upon her head.

I have seen roses ³⁾damasked, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks,

And in some perfumes is there more delight,

Than in the breath that from my mistress’ ⁴⁾reeks.

I love to hear her speak: yet well I know

That music ⁵⁾hath a far more pleasing sound,

I ⁶⁾grant I never saw a goddess go,

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground,

And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,

As any she belied² with false compare.

爱人的眼睛

 

我爱人的眼睛一点不像太阳；

珊瑚比她的嘴唇还要红得多：

雪若算白，她的胸就暗褐无光，

发若是铁丝，她头上便铁丝婆娑。

我见过红白的玫瑰，轻纱一般；

她颊上却找不到这样的玫瑰；

有许多芳香非常逗人喜欢，

我爱人的呼吸却并没有这香味。

我爱听她谈话，可是我很清楚

音乐的悦耳远胜于她的嗓子；

我承认从没有见过女神走路，

我爱人走路时候却脚踏实地：

可是，我敢指天发誓，

我的爱侣胜似任何被捧作天仙的美女。
