Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 44

　　Injurious distance should not stop my way;

　　For then despite of space I would be brought,

　　From limits far remote where thou dost stay.

　　No matter then although my foot did stand

　　Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;

　　For nimble thought can jump both sea and land

　　As soon as think the place where he would be.

　　But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,

　　To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,

　　But that so much of earth and water wrought

　　I must attend time's leisure with my moan,

　　Receiving nought by elements so slow

　　But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

　　那么，縱使我的腿站在那離你

　　最遠(yuǎn)的天涯，對(duì)我有什么妨礙?

　　空靈的思想無論想到達(dá)哪里，

　　它立刻可以飛越崇山和大海。

　　但是唉，這思想毒殺我：我并非思想，

　　能飛越遼遠(yuǎn)的萬里當(dāng)你去后;

　　而只是滿盛著泥水的鈍皮囊，

　　就只好用悲泣去把時(shí)光伺候;

　　這兩種重濁的元素毫無所賜

　　除了眼淚，二者的苦惱的標(biāo)志
