Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 145

　　Breathed forth the sound that said 'I hate'

　　To me that languish'd for her sake;

　　But when she saw my woeful state,

　　Straight in her heart did mercy come,

　　Chiding that tongue that ever sweet

　　Was used in giving gentle doom,

　　And taught it thus anew to greet:

　　'I hate' she alter'd with an end,

　　That follow'd it as gentle day

　　Doth follow night, who like a fiend

　　From heaven to hell is flown away;

　　'I hate' from hate away she threw,

　　And saved my life, saying 'not you.'

　　愛(ài)神親手捏就的嘴唇

　　對(duì)著為她而憔悴的我，

　　吐出了這聲音說(shuō)，"我恨"：

　　但是她一看見(jiàn)我難過(guò)，

　　心里就馬上大發(fā)慈悲，

　　責(zé)備那一向都是用來(lái)

　　宣布甜蜜的判詞的嘴，

　　教它要把口氣改過(guò)來(lái)：

　　"我恨"，她又把尾巴補(bǔ)綴，

　　那簡(jiǎn)直像明朗的白天

　　趕走了魔鬼似的黑夜，

　　把它從天堂甩進(jìn)陰間。

　　她把"我恨"的恨字摒棄，

　　救了我的命說(shuō)，"不是你"。
