Never did sun more beautiful steep In this first splendour,valley,rock.or hil: Ne'er saw I.never fet,a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God!The very houses seem asleep: And all that might heart is lying still! 成斯敏斯特桥上 大地从表展露比这更动人的壮围， 偏若有人路过这里卸毫不动情 无视这辉耀晨最。他准是墨纯的生灵。 城市沐浴在灿烂的霞光里， 寂静，清新，像是拔上一装霓装。 船帕，抗顶，刷院，救纹和塔尖， 做开胸怀，向着绿野，向着天， 一切都在无烟的空气中帮烟闪光。 太阳从来把如此明帽的晨曦 厦盖于岩石，铺酒在峡容山梁， 我从未见过，也从未感到如此静通

河水自由自在在地静静地流清： 上帝同！全镜的屋宇正在安息 强动的心脏正沉睡于梦乡！ Question 7 Metaphorls Shakepeare comparing his old age with trees in earty autumn orlate autumn? He is comparing it with later autumn.Here's the whole poem for you.Hope you will understand the sonnet better by reading the whole poem. That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves.or none,or few.do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold. Bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou seest the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west. Which by and by black night doth take away. Death's second self.that seals up all in rest. In me thou seest the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth die lie. As the deathbed whereon it must expire Consumed with that which it was nourished by. This thou perceivest,which makes thy love more strong. To love that well which thou must leave ere long. 你在我身上可以看到哪个时令， 黄叶落尽成稀疏地 挂在摇曳的树枝上。 在这荒废的歌坛，不久前曾鸟声婉转。 你在我身上看到这样一个黄昏 日落时分西方微光屋能： 死神的化身一黑夜随后把微光吞尽， 让世上的一切停止活动。 你在我身上看到这样的火焰

它残喘在自己青春的余餐上， 在这紧尸床上，它早晚要长眠， 与溢养它的燃料一同化为灰烟。 当你看到这些，你的爱会更加坚强， 热爱他吧。也不久将与你分别：
