时间是把杀猪刀，无情地改变着人们的容颜

时光飞逝，转眼就成了被世界碾压过的老人。都说“时间是把杀猪刀，无情地改变着人们的容颜。”尽管如此，还是请你温柔点……

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,

饕餮的时光，磨钝了雄狮的爪，

And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;

命大地吞噬自己宠爱的幼婴；

Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,

从猛虎嘴里拔掉锐利的牙齿，

And burn the long-liv'd phoenix in her blood;

焚毁长寿的凤凰；

Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,

使季节在你飞逝时或悲或喜；

And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,

捷足的时光，肆意地摧残

To the wide world and all her fading sweets;

这大千世界和它易谢的芳菲；

But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:

只是这极恶大罪愿你千万别犯：

O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,

哦，别把岁月刻在我爱人的额上，

Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen; 

也别用你的笔在脸上胡乱画线：

Him in thy course untainted do allow

在你的飞逝里不要让她受伤损，

For beauty's pattern to succeeding men.

好留给后世永作美丽的典范。

Yet, do thy worst, old Time: despite thy wrong,

但，尽管猖狂，时光，任你多狠，

My love shall in my verse ever live  young.

我的爱在我诗里将万古长青。
