If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
如果我這笨拙的身體是思想茉继，
Injurious distance should not stop my way; 殘酷的距離就不能把我阻擋钳降；
For then, despite of space, I would be brought,
盡管千山萬水蹂楣，層層阻隔贴捡，
From limits far remote, where thou dost stay.
我也會被帶到你的芳居叙谨。
No matter then although my foot did stand 縱然我與你天涯之隔棒口，
Upon the farthest earth remov'd from thee;對我來說又有何妨嚼隘？
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land,
既然輕靈的思想可以越山渡洋诽里，
As soon as think the place where he would be.
心中一念便可到達(dá)你所在的地方。
But, ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
可是飞蛹，唉谤狡！思想毒殺著我，畢竟我不是思想卧檐，
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone , 在你離去之后墓懂，我并不能飛躍崇山，跨越海洋霉囚；
But that so much of earth and water wrought,我只是泥和水和成的鈍皮囊捕仔，
I must attend, time's leisure with my moan;徒勞地用悲泣嘆息服侍時光；
Receiving nought by elements so slow
這重濁之物毫無所賜盈罐，
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.只剩眼淚榜跌，都是悲傷苦惱的標(biāo)志。
