Let me confess that we two must be twain,
讓我承認我們倆人必需分離，
Although our undivided loves are one:
然而我們未分割的愛仍為ㄧ：
So shall those blots that do with me remain,

Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
不須你幫忙，我自己承擔處理。
In our two loves there is but one respect,

Though in our lives a separable spite,
然而我們生活中，不得不分離，
Which though it alter not love's sole effect,

Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
却從愛的喜悅中偷走了甜蜜。
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,

As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
因為你是我的，我的作為（名節）為你。

SONNET 36 十四行诗第36首* [英] 莎士比亚
Let me confess that we two must be twain,
且让我坦言我俩应分离，
Although our undivided loves are one:
尽管难割舍－我俩是一体；
So shall those blots that do with me remain,
那些个瑕疵留给我自己，
Without thy help, by me be borne alone.
不用你分担，我独自勉力。
In our two loves there is but one respect,
我俩的相恋只是种敬爱，
Though in our lives a separable spite,
生分的怨艾与生命同在；
Which, though it alter not love's sole effect,
虽然爱的结果无法更改，
Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight.
却偷走佳期密约的欢快。
I may not evermore acknowledge thee,
今后我不可以说你是谁，
Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame,
忧伤的罪过怕使你羞愧；
Nor thou with public kindness honour me,
当众夸赞我－你再也不会，
Unless thou take that honour from thy name:
除非你折损自身之光辉。
But do not so, I love thee in such sort
可别这么做，我如此爱你－
As thou being mine, mine is thy good report.
你是我的，我会投桃报李。
