7、emperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:But thy e

8、ternal Summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou owest;Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest:So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.我怎么能夠把你來(lái)比作夏天？你不獨(dú)比他可愛(ài)也比他溫婉；狂風(fēng)把五月寵愛(ài)的嫩蕊作踐，夏天出賃的

10、and more temperate" than a summer's day. The speaker lists some negative things about summer: it is short"summer's lease hath all too short a date"and sometimes the sun is too hot"Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines." However, the beloved has beauty that will l

11、ast forever, unlike the fleeting beauty of a summer's day.Theme: In the sonnet, the speaker compares his beloved to the summer season, and argues that his beloved is better. He also states that his beloved will live on forever through the words of the poem. By putting his love's beauty into

12、the form of poetry, the poet is preserving it forever. "So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." The lover's beauty will live on, through the poem which will last as long as it can be read. The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Chr
