歌词与中文翻译
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow
当四十个冬天合攻你的额头
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty’s field,
在你的美的桑田深挖沟壕
Thy youth’s proud livery, so gaz’d on now,
你芳华羡人的侍袍，今朝众目所向
Will be a tatter’d ****, of small worth held:
终将变成败絮褴褛，不过明日黄花
Then being ask’d where all thy beauty lies,
那时如有人问你的美尚在何方
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days,
还有你少壮年日那一切的珍宝
To say, within thine own deep-sunken eyes,
而你说，在你自己深陷的眼里，
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
那将是贪无厌的奇耻，空枉赋的颂扬
How much more praise deserv’d thy beauty’s use,
若论颂扬 你的美之所用还可更值几多啊——
If thou couldst answer “This fair child of mine
要是你能回答 “我这英俊的孩子
Shall sum my count and make my old excuse,”
将尽述我职账 释我垂老“
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
他的美正作为你的延续得以展现
This were to be new made when thou art old,
当你寿至耄耋此即新生
And see thy blood warm when thou feel’st it cold.
而感到血凉时见其煦温
