莎士比亚的《第十八首十四行诗》中的那段著名诗句如下：

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day？

我想将你比作迷人的夏日，

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

但你却更显可爱和温存：

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

狂野之风摧残着五月蓓蕾的柔媚，

And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

也一天天消逝着夏日的归期：

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

苍天的明眸偶然泻出璀璨，

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd；

却难以辉映他暗淡的容颜；

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

一切明媚的色彩渐已消褪，

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd；

过程是如此苍白；

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

然而你却如永恒之夏，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest；

所有的美好永远也不会改变；

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

就连死神也不敢对你嚣张，

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

因你将永生于不朽的诗篇：

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

只要世人一息尚存，

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

你将和这诗篇永驻人间。

这段诗句通过将爱人比作夏日，表达了诗人对爱人无尽的赞美和深情。
