Lets enjoy a poem- Sonnet No. 18 by William Shakespeare Shall I compare thee(你) to a summers day?Thou(你） art（是） more lovely and more temperate.Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summers lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or natures changing course untrimmed. But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owst,Nor shall Death brag thou wandrest in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growst. So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 我怎么能夠把你來比作夏天？你不獨比它可愛也比它溫婉：狂風(fēng)把五月寵愛的嫩蕊作踐，夏天出賃的期限又未免太短：天上的眼睛有時照得太酷烈，它那炳耀的金顏又常遭掩蔽：被機緣或無常的天道所摧折，沒有芳艷不終于雕殘或銷毀。但是你的長夏永遠不會雕落，也不會損失你這皎潔的紅芳，或死神夸口你在他影里漂泊，當你在不朽的詩里與時同長。只要一天有人類，或人有眼睛，這詩將長存，并且賜給你生命。 By Ma Yan Why the poem Sonnet No. 18 has many words we have not used today? 1.
