at lovers perjuries,

They say, Jove laughs.

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,

That monthly changes in her circled orb,

Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

啊！不要對著月亮發誓，月亮多變，

每個月有圓缺，

恐怕你的愛 到頭來也發生變化。

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

這愛情的蓓蕾，經夏日南風吹拂，

待下次我們見面時，會變成美麗的花朵。

 

Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books;

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.

跟情人離別，像學童苦瓜臉上學堂。

To lure this tassel-gentle back again.

And where care lodges, sleep will never lie;

To turn your households’ rancor to pure love.

但願這聯姻 能幸福美滿

化為純愛 你們兩家不再恨怨。

Therefore love moderately: long love doth so;

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Hang up philosophy!

Unless philosophy can make a Juliet,

除非哲學能造出一個朱麗葉，

 

Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds,

--- Romeo and Juliet  III, v, 153

謝我而沒有一點謝意，以我為榮也沒有一點榮耀，

在妳的嘴唇和雙頰上，

美人旗幟依然深紅，

並未升起死亡的白旗。

Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

從來沒有一個故事滿是悲痛

像朱麗葉和羅密歐的這種。
