Th'Expense of Spirit in a Waste of Shame (Sonnet 129)

The expense of spirit in a waste of shame
生气丧失在带来耻辱的消耗里，
Is lust in action; and till action, lust
是情欲在行动，情欲还没成行动
Is perjur’d, murderous, bloody, full of blame,
已成过失，阴谋，罪恶和杀机，
Savage, extreme, rude, cruel, not to trust;
变得野蛮，狂暴，残忍，没信用；
Enjoy’d no sooner but despised straight;
刚尝到欢乐，立刻就觉得可鄙；
Past reason hunted; and no sooner had,
冲破理智去追求；到了手又马上
Past reason hated, as a swallow’d bait,
抛开理智而厌恶，像吞下诱饵，
On purpose laid to make the taker mad:
放诱饵，是为了促使上钩者疯狂：

疯狂于追求，进而疯狂于占有；
Mad in pursuit, and in possession so;
占有了，占有着，还要，绝不放松，
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
品尝甜头，尝过了，原来是苦头；
A bliss in proof, and prov’d, a very woe;
事前，图个欢喜；过后，一场梦：
Before, a joy propos’d;(behind, a dream.)
这，大家全明白；可没人懂怎样

这，大家全明白；可没人懂怎样
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well
去躲开这座引人入地狱的天堂。
All this the world well knows; yet none knows well

To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.
