關(guān)于愛(ài)情的英語(yǔ)散文：《當(dāng)愛(ài)向你們揮手》

　　When love beckons you, follow him, though his ways are hard and stccp. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

　　當(dāng)愛(ài)揮手召喚你們時(shí)，跟隨著它，盡管它的道路艱難而險(xiǎn)峻。當(dāng)它展翼?yè)肀銈儠r(shí)，依順著它，盡管它羽翼中的利刃會(huì)傷害你們。當(dāng)它對(duì)你們說(shuō)話時(shí)，要相信它，盡管它的聲音會(huì)擊碎你的夢(mèng)，像狂風(fēng)盡掃園中的花。

　　For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your most tender branches that quiver in the sun,so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

　　愛(ài)雖可為你們加冕，也能將你們釘上十字架。它雖可助你們成長(zhǎng)，也能將你們削砍剪劉。它會(huì)攀至你們的高處，輕撫你們陽(yáng)光下顫動(dòng)的最柔嫩的枝條，它也會(huì)降至你們的根底，動(dòng)搖你們緊緊依附著大地的根須。

　　All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart and in that knowledge become a fragment of life's heart.But if,in your fear,you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,then it is better for you that you cover your nakeness and pass out of love's threshing-floor. into the season less world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep. but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from pssesse, not nor would it be possessed. for love is sufficient into love.

　　這一切都是愛(ài)為你們所做的，使你們或許能從中領(lǐng)悟自己心中的秘密，從而成為生命之心的一小部分。但是如果你們出于畏懼只去尋求愛(ài)的和美與愛(ài)的歡樂(lè)，那你們最好掩起自己的赤裸，離開(kāi)愛(ài)的打谷場(chǎng)，踏人那沒(méi)有季節(jié)的世界，在那里，你會(huì)開(kāi)懷，但不是盡情歡笑;你會(huì)哭泣，但不是盡為淚水。愛(ài)除了自身別無(wú)所求，除了自身別無(wú)所取二愛(ài)不占有，也不被占有，因?yàn)閻?ài)有了自己就足夠了.

　　Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and have desires, don't let these be your desires:

　　愛(ài)別無(wú)他求，只求成全自己。但如果你愛(ài)了，又有所渴求，就別讓這些成你的所求吧:

　　To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night

　　融化為一道奔流的溪水，在夜晚吟唱自己的清曲。

　　To know the pain of too much tenderness.

　　體會(huì)太多溫柔帶來(lái)的痛苦。

　　To be wounded by your own understanding of love

　　被自己對(duì)愛(ài)的體會(huì)所傷害。

　　And to bleed willingly andjoyfully.

　　心甘情愿地淌血

　　To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

　　清晨，帶著一顆生翼的心醒來(lái)，感謝又一個(gè)充滿愛(ài)的日子;

　　To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;

　　午休，沉思愛(ài)的心醉神怡;

　　To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart.

　　黃昏，帶著感激歸家;睡前，為你心中的摯愛(ài)祈禱。
