如果說莎翁的十四行詩是英詩中的王冠,那麼第十八首可謂王冠上的明珠。518Please respect copyright.PENANAYxKZdZXQkF
一首短短的十四行詩裡面,竟然用到了十種修辭格:明喻(simile)、暗喻(metaphor)、設問/反問(rhetorical question)、擬人(personification)、相關語(pun)、矛盾(paradox)、頭韻(alliteration)、誇張(hyperbole)、借代(synecdoche)及倒裝(inversion),而且題材還糅合了詩歌、夏天與人的永恆之美,簡直就是譯者的噩夢XD518Please respect copyright.PENANAg6Si8tewg3
分享一下我自己嘗試翻譯的版本(並且借詩向大家告白),不過還是推薦大家先細細品味原文。
