　　诗词英译：人间尤物
　　A mortalmasterpiece
　　She sits before me , an infalliblepiece .
　　A masterwork of bone , sinew and skin.
　　Defying perfection her fairest cheeks and feminine chin.
　　Her form craftedand carvedas a stative of ancient Greece.
　　Lo! I would keep her hidden , a secret held unto me
　　Locked awayto appease my most jealousheart
　　For it would cause a mortal cut if e'er we were apart
　　My soul she holds captive , her eyes contained the very key.
　　But I could not withhold such beauty such beauty from the Earth
　　A prisoner to my selfishness , a fate yet undeserved
　　Her expert shape and classical features to all should be observed
　　Not all the gold of all the nations could match her shine or worth
　　So go my ornate masterpiece
　　Go and share your radiantgleam
　　Go my Venus de Milo, my Winged Victory
　　And light the world with your achromicbeam
