亂譯：莎士比亞14行詩（1）
美麗事物，我們希望生生不止
佳人玫瑰，因而永遠盛開
好花雖開，終有衰萎將殘時
可他的記憶傳給了他溫柔子嗣
但你執著自己的明亮雙眼不開
竟顧影自憐，鎮日獨處
任滿園荒蕪，無人來栽
把甜美的自己當敵人折磨，何等殘酷
因為有你，世界才清新可人
春天歸來，還等著你來引領
無奈你自行焦芽敗種，日漸沈淪
溫柔的吝嗇鬼啊，枉費你誤用多情：
可憐的世界，可憐的貪吃的你
讓你以及墳墓，吃去了世界應得的美麗
From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding:
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.
