英語愛情美文欣賞：當愛向你們揮手
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.
當愛揮手召喚你們時，跟隨着它，儘管它的道路艱難而險峻。當它展翼擁抱你們時，依順着它，儘管它羽翼中的利刃會傷害你們。當它對你們說話時，要相信它，儘管它的聲音會擊碎你的夢，像狂風盡掃園中的花。
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.
愛雖可爲你們加冕，也能將你們釘上十字架。它雖可助你們成長，也能將你們削砍剪劉。它會攀至你們的高處，輕撫你們陽光下顫動的最柔嫩的枝條，它也會降至你們的根底，動搖你們緊緊依附着大地的根鬚。
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 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.
這一切都是愛爲你們所做的，使你們或許能從中領悟自己心中的祕密，從而成爲生命之心的一小部分。但是如果你們出於畏懼只去尋求愛的和美與愛的歡樂，那你們最好掩起自己的赤裸，離開愛的打穀場，踏人那沒有季節的世界，在那裏，你會開懷，但不是盡情歡笑;你會哭泣，但不是盡爲淚水。愛除了自身別無所求，除了自身別無所取二愛不佔有，也不被佔有，因爲愛有了自己就足夠了.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and have desires, don't let these be your desires:
愛別無他求，只求成全自己。但如果你愛了，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
融化爲一道奔流的溪水，在夜晚吟唱自己的清曲。
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
體會太多溫柔帶來的痛苦。
To be wounded by your own understanding of love
被自己對愛的體會所傷害。
And to bleed willingly andjoyfully.
心甘情願地淌血
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
清晨，帶着一顆生翼的心醒來，感謝又一個充滿愛的日子;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
午休，沉思愛的心醉神怡;
To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart.
黃昏，帶着感激歸家;睡前，爲你心中的摯愛祈禱。
