莎士比亚十四行诗全集:第42篇
That thou hast her, it is not all my grief,
你占有了她，我并不因此过度伤情，
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
虽说我对她也还算有一片痴心。
That she hath thee, is of my wailing chief,
她占有了你，这才令我嚎啕欲绝，
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
这至爱的丧失使我几乎痛彻心庭。
Loving offenders, thus I will excuse ye:
情场作案者呵我只好这样来为你们开脱：
Thou dost love her, because thou knowst I love her;
你爱她，不过是因为我是她的情人；
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
她骗我，也因为她对我无限倾心，
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
所以才让我的朋友与她试续云雨情。
If I lose thee, my loss is my love’s gain,
我虽失掉你，我情人却因之有所补，
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
我虽失掉她，我朋友却因之有所进。
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
你俩互进互补，我却两头落空。
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
只是为我着想，你们才让我尝尽酸辛。
But here’s the joy; my friend and I are one;
我且把单相思当苦中乐：你我本同根，
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.
随她如何爱，爱的也只可能是我本人。
