我就是同谋，竟然为伤害我的罪犯开脱| Shakespeare Sonnet 35

Sonnet 35

No more be grieved at that which thou hast done,

Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud,

Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,

And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.

All men make faults, and even I in this,

Authorizing thy trespass with compare,

My self corrupting salving thy amiss,

Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are:

For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense,

Thy adverse party is thy advocate,

And 'gainst my self a lawful plea commence:

Such civil war is in my love and hate,

That I an accessary needs must be,

To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me.

第35首还是跟前两首缠绵，诗人开始觉得自己太harsh，让青年太痛苦，于是诗人开始检讨自己。别伤心啦no more be grieved，人无完人。四个比喻应证自己的说法：

玫瑰有刺roses have thorns，

泉水有淤泥silver fountains mud，

日月被乌云玷污both moon and sun stained by clouds,

花瓣里有虫canker lives in sweetest bud，

所以，凡人孰能无过呢？all men make faults。接着，诗人开始反省自己：竟用比喻为你的劣行开脱：Authorizing thy trespass with compare，这样的做法简直是corrupting。

前段时间有莎士比亚爱好者在英国文学群大赞《红楼梦》林黛玉的《咏白海棠》“偷来梨雪三分白，借得梅花一缕魂”。莎士比亚尤其鄙视用比喻来赞颂事物。按照莎士比亚的思路，白海棠偷了梨雪的白，说明没有梨雪白；借来梅花的魂，说明自己的魂没有梅花傲骨，那这诗到底是赞颂白海棠，还是贬低它，转而赞颂梨，雪和梅呢？

在Sonnet 35里，比喻使原告变成了辩护律师，诗人心中开始了爱与恨的内战

such civil war is in my love and hate。

结果我不得不成为一名同谋，

去帮那个盗我的温柔的小偷

That I an accessory needs must be

To that sweet thief which sourly robs from me。

略，好肉麻。希望大家分享一下中国诗人的友ai谊qing，昨天不经意听到王昌龄和汪伦在一个度假别墅里连喝几天酒，把汪伦给喝死了，他们到底还干了什么，真是让人浮想联翩。

Sonnet 18和Sonnet 130都是Sonnet 35比喻理论的典型例子。Sonnet 18开头就问：

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

我能比吗？不，

Thou art more lovely and more temperate。

Sonnet 130诗人也问了自己类似问题：我爱人的眼睛像太阳吗？不，

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun。

莎翁喜欢用万事万物当喻体vehicle，而爱人是唯一的本体tenor，而不是说爱人像什么，my love is like a red red rose，在莎翁的年代已经变成陈词滥调cliché. (Kerrigan)
