Shall I compare thee to a harbor’s dawn?
我可否将你比作港口的黎明？
Thou art more vivid, more enduring far:
你却更鲜活，更恒久绵长：
The river loops, a silken belt drawn on,
河水蜿蜒，如丝绸玉带轻绕，
Hills knot like guards where tides and shadows are.
群山如卫，环伺潮汐与暗影周遭。
Sometimes the sun blazes o’er the quay,
时而骄阳灼灼，洒满码头岸桥，
Sudden rains dim the neon’s glow awhile;
骤雨忽然而至，暂暗霓虹轻耀；
Seasons shift with hasty urgency,
四季更迭匆匆，步履急如飞鸟，
Yet thy lamps pierce the dark with steady smile.
光亮却破暗夜，笑意稳稳不摇。
Typhoons cannot steal thy bell tower’s chime,
台风卷不走钟楼的钟鸣袅袅，
Time fails to fade thy streets’ warm bustle dear;
岁月磨不灭街巷的暖意迢迢；
When mists cloak Victoria’s gentle climb,
当薄雾轻笼维港的缓坡，
Thy starlight dances on the waves so clear.
星光便舞在浪尖，跳得清亮明耀。
As long as tides kiss shore and stars take flight,
只要潮汐轻吻海岸，星辰升向穹霄，
Thou liv’st in verse, forever bright.
你便永活于诗行，恒久明亮如朝。
