1、sonnet8 莎士比亚的作品第十行诗赏析 英文The speaker of the poem opens with a question that is addressed to the beloved, Shall I compare thee to a summers day? This question is comparing her to the summer time of the year. It is during this time when the flowers are blooming, trees are full of leaves, the weather is

2、 warm, and it is generally thought of as an enjoyable time during the year. The following eleven lines in the poem are also dedicated to similar comparisons between the beloved and summer days. In lines 2 and 3, the speaker explains what mainly separates the young woman from the summers day: she is

3、more lovely and more temperate. (Line 2) Summers days tend toward extremes: they are sometimes shaken by rough winds (line3) which happens and is not always as welcoming as the woman. However in line 4, the speaker gives the feeling again that the summer months are often to short by saying, And summ

4、er抯 lease hath too short a date. In the summer days, the sun, the eye of heaven (line 5), often shines too hot, or too dim, his gold complexion dimmed (line 6), that is there are many hot days during the summer but soon the sun begins to set earlier at night because autumn is approaching. Summer is

5、moving along too quickly for the speaker, its time here needs to be longer, and it also means that the chilling of autumn is coming upon us because the flowers will soon be withering, as every fair from fair sometime declines. (Line 7) The final portion of the sonnet tells how the beloved differs fr

6、om the summer in various respects. Her beauty will be one that lasts forever, Thy eternal summer shall not fade. (Line 9), and never end or die. In the couplet at the bottom, the speaker explains how that the beloveds beauty will accomplish this everlasting life unlike a summer. And it is because he

7、r beauty is kept alive in this poem, which will last forever. It will live as long as men can breathe or eyes can see. (Line 13)On the surface, the poem is on the surface simply a statement of praise about the beauty of the beloved woman and perhaps summer to the speaker is sometimes too unpleasant

8、with the extremes of windiness and heat that go along with it. However, the beloved in the poem is always mild and temperate by her nature and nothing at all like the summer. It is incidentally brought to life as being described as the eye of heaven with its gold complexion. The imagery throughout t

9、he sonnet is simple and attainable to the reader, which is a key factor in understanding the poem. Then the speaker begins to describe the summer again with the darling buds of May giving way to the summers lease, springtime moving into the warmth of the summer. The speaker then starts to promise to

10、 talk about this beloved, that is so great and awing that she is to live forever in this sonnet. The beloved is so great that the speaker will even go as far as to say that, So long as men breathe, or eyes can see, the woman will live. The language is almost too simple when comparing it to the rest

11、of Shakespeares sonnets; it is not heavy with alliteration or verse, and nearly every line is its own self-contained clause, almost every line ends with some punctuation that effects a pause. But it is this that makes Sonnet18 stand out for the rest in the book. It is much more attainable to underst

12、and and it allows for the reader to fully understand how great this beloved truly is because she may live forever in it. An important theme of the sonnet, as it is an important theme throughout much of the poetry in general, is the power of the speakers poem to defy time and last forever. And so by

13、doing this it is then carrying the beauty of the beloved down to future generations and eventually for al of eternity. The beloveds eternal summer shall not fade precisely because it is embodied in the sonnet: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, (line 13) the speaker writes in the couplet, S

14、o long lives this, and this gives life to thee.(Line 14) With this the speaker is able to accomplish what many have done in poetry and that is to give the gift of an eternal life to someone that they believe is special and outshines everyone else around them. Perhaps it is because of a physical beauty that the speaker see, but I believe that it is more because of the internal beauty as seen in line 2, Thou art more lovely and more temperate, that the beloved is deserving to live on forever.
