我是如何爱你？ (作者： 2008-06-18)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height to

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of 1)Being and 2)ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men 3)strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from 4)Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old 5)griefs , and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.



我是如何爱你？说不尽万语千言。

我爱你之深邃，之宽广，之高远

尽我的灵魂所能及之处--犹如探求

玄冥中神的存在和美好之极。

我爱你如每日之必需，

阳光下和烛焰前都少不了。

我自由地爱着你，像人们争取他们的权利；

我纯洁地爱着你，如人们在赞美前会垂首。

我爱你，带着我昔日悲伤时的

那种激情，童年时的那种诚意；

我爱你，抵得上往日对圣者怀有的

如今似已消逝的那种爱-我用呼吸，

用微笑，用眼泪，用我整个生命来爱你！

--假使上帝愿意，我死后将更加爱你！
