你现在还是那样美，跟最初我看见
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
你眼睛那时候一样。从见你以来，
Such seems your beauty still. Three winters cold
我见过四季的周行：三个冷冬天
Have from the forests shook three summers' pride,
把三个盛夏从林子里吹落、摇光了；
Three beauteous springs to yellow autumn turned
三度阳春，都成了苍黄的秋季；
In process of the seasons have I seen,
六月的骄阳，也已经三次烧光了
Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burned,
四月的花香：而你却始终鲜丽。
Since first I saw you fresh, which yet are green.
啊！不过，美也会偷偷地溜走，
Ah, yet doth beauty, like a dial hand,
像指针在钟面瞒着人离开字码，
Steal from his figure, and no pace perceived;
你的美，虽然我相信它留驻恒久，
So your sweet hue, which methinks still doth stand,
也会瞒着我眼睛，慢慢地变化。
Hath motion, and mine eye may be deceived;
生怕这样，后代呵，请听这首诗：
For fear of which, hear this, thou age unbred:
你还没出世，美的夏天早谢世。
Ere you were born was beauty's summer dead.
