"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" nghĩa là gì?


"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" = tôi so sánh cậu với ngày hè nhé? -> câu trong bài thơ của Shakespeare, người nói muốn so sánh chàng trai với ngày hè nhưng nhận thấy cậu có phẩm chất vượt trội hơn ngày hè, và cũng nhận thấy phẩm chất đấy dễ thay đổi và giảm dần.

Ví dụ
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? More specifically, a summer evening spent watching a performance of Shakespeare as the sun shines golden on a stone amphitheater (giảng đường)? Genesius Guild is showing “Measure for Measure (abridged)”, which will run for two more nights on June 26 and June 27 at 7pm in the Rock Island Lincoln Park.

Rumors about the sexual orientation (định hướng) of William Shakespeare (1564-1616) have circulated ever since he first began his celebrated career as a playwright and poet. Three sonnets in the collection were all written to a young man wherein one of the most quoted poems in history, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day," Shakespeare first declares his love for the young man and "promises him immortality (bất tử) by memorializing him," says Rosenthal.

Each beat has two syllables (âm tiết), with the second being stressed. This is known as “iambic pentameter”. Try it out with the most famous line from the sonnets: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” 

lexaThe second one is Sonnet 18: “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.” This is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry in the English language, so I feared the worst.
