英語美文欣賞愛情篇：真愛的含義(1)—杰拉德科里（中英雙語）

Love means that I know the person I love.I am aware of the many sides of the other person not just the beautiful sides but also the limitations,inconsistencies and flaws.I have an awareness of the other's feelings and thoughts,and I experience aomething of the core of that person.I can penetrate social masks  and roles and see the other on a deeper level.

愛意味著我了解我所愛的人，我知道那個人的方方面面——不僅僅是美好的一面，而且也包括他能力所限，言行不一和有其他缺點的一面。我知道那個人的思想和情感，我體驗到那個人身上的某種本質的東西；我能透過對方在社交場合的表現和在社會上所擔當的角色，看到他更內在的東西。

Love means that I  can care about the welfare of the person I  have.To the extent that it is genuine,my caring is not smothering of the person or a possessive thing.On the contrary ,my caring liberates both of us.If I care about you,I am concernedabout your growth,and I hope you will become all that you can become.Consequently ,I don't put up roadblocks to what you do that enhances you as a person,even though it may result in my discomfort at times.

愛意味著我關心我所愛的人的幸福。只要我的關心是真誠的，我的關心對我所愛的人就不會是一種壓制，也不會是一種占有性的依附。相反，我的關心使我們兩人都獲得解放。因此，對你為完善自己人格所做的一切，我決不設置障礙，即使你做的事情有時會讓我不舒服。

Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love.If I love you ,I can see you as a separate person,with your own values and thoughts  and feelings,and I do not insist that you surrender your identity and conform to an image of what I expect you to be for me.I can allow you and encourage you to stand alone and to be who you are,and I avoid you as an object or using your primarily to gratify my own needs.

愛意味著尊重我所愛的人的人格尊嚴。如果我愛你，我就會把你看成是一個獨立的人，你有你自己的價值觀，有你自己的思想和感情，我不會要你放棄你的特性，而為了我把你自己塑造成我期望你成為的那種人；我能夠允許并鼓勵你獨立自主，保持你的特性，這樣我就不會把你當作一件東西來對待，不會讓你把主要精力放在來滿足我自己的需要。

Love means having  a responsibility toward the person I love.If I love you,I am responsive to most of your major needs as a person.This  responsibility does not entail my doing for you what are capable of doing for yourself,nor does it mean that I run your life for you.It does imply acknowledging that what I am and what I do affect you,so that I that I am directly involved in your happiness and your misery.A lover does does have the capacity to hurt or neglect the loved one,and in this sense I see that love entails an acceptance of some responsibility for the impact my way of being has on me.

愛意味著對我所愛的人有一種責任感。如果我愛你，我就對你作為人的大多數的主要需求有反應。這 個責任不等于我替你做你自己能夠做的事情。也不意味著我管理你的生活。但是它確實意味著我的為人和我的所作所為對你有影響，因此我直接與你的幸福和痛苦有關。一個愛別人的人確實可能會傷害或忽視所愛之人，從這個意義上說，愛意味著我要對我的生方式對你的影響承擔一定的責任。

Love means growth for both myself and the person I love.If I love you.I am grawing as a result of my love.You are a atimulant for me to become more fully what I  might become ,and my loving enhances your beings as well.We each grow as a result of caring and being cared for ,we each share in an enriching that does not detract from being.

愛意味著我自己和我所愛的人共同成長。如果我愛你，我也會因為愛你而發展，你激勵我成為更加充實的人，我對你的愛也提高你的素質。我們倆都因彼此相愛而成長，我們的這種關系使雙方都感到更加充實，又絲毫不削弱我們自己的特性。

Love means  making a commitment to the person I love.This commitment does not entail surrendering our total selves to each other,nor does it imply that relationship is necessarily permanent.IT DOES ENTAIL A willingness to stay with each other in times of pain,uncertainty,struggle,and despair,as well as in times of calm and enjoyment.

愛意味著對我所愛的人作出一種承諾。這種承諾并不需要我們相互放棄自身的特性，也不表示我們的這種關系一定是永久的關系。這種承諾既包含愿意在痛苦時刻，在猶豫時刻，在斗爭時刻和絕望時刻相互支持，也包含共享平靜和歡樂的時刻。

Love mean trusting the person I love .If I love you,I trust you will accept my caring and my love and that you won't deliberately hurt me.I trust that you will find me lovable and that you won't abandon me;I trust the reciprocal nature of our love.If we trust each other,we are willing to be open to each other and can shed masks and pretenses and reveal our true selves.

愛意味著信任我所愛的人。如果我愛你，我相信你會接受我的關心和愛戀，而不會故意傷害我。我相信你會發現我很可愛而不會拋棄我；我相信我們之間的愛將惠及對方。如果我們相互信任，我們就愿意相互敞開我們的心扉，我們就能夠去掉假面具，去掉偽裝，顯示我們的真面貌。

Love can tolerate imperfection.In a lave relationship there are times of boredom,times when I many feel like giving up,times of real strain,and times I experience an impasse.Authentic love does not imply enduring happiness .I can stay during rough times,however,because I  can remember what we had togrther in the past,and I can picture what we will have together in our future if we care though to face our problems and work them through.

愛可以容忍不完美。在愛的關系中，必然有厭煩的時候，有我想放棄的時候，有十分緊張的時候，有我感到沒有出路的時候。真正的愛并不意味著永遠快樂。我之所以能夠在困難 時期和你在一起'是因為我記得我們過去共 同度過的時光；是因為我能夠想象，如果我們對問題予以足夠的視，并因此能夠面對問題而且度過這個時期，我們將來在一起的時候會是什么樣子。
