莎士比亚《Venus and Adonis》翻译 - 049

Look, when a painter would surpass the life,

In limning out a well-proportion'd steed,

His art with nature's workmanship at strife,

As if the dead the living should exceed;

So did this horse excel a common one

In shape, in courage, colour, pace and bone.

 

画师兴高现生灵， 

匀称骏马手中绘， 

敢比天造技艺精， 

纸马能比活马贵；

青駹在此世间稀，

勇气身骨莫能逼。
