這就是我為什么愛你

Love

愛

by Roy Croft
 

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you.

我愛你

不光因為你的樣子

還因為

和你在一起時

我的樣子

I love you,

Not only for what

You have made of yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

我愛你

不光因為你為我而做的事

還因為

為了你

我能做成的事
 

I love you

For the part of me

That you bring out;

我愛你

因為你能喚出

我最真的那部分

I love you

For putting your hand

Into my heaped-up heart

And passing over

All the foolish, weak things

That you can’t help

Dimly seeing there,

And for drawing out

Into the light

All the beautiful belongings

我愛你

因為你穿越我心靈的曠野

如同陽光穿透水晶般容易

我的傻氣

我的弱點

在你的目光里幾乎不存在

而我心里最美麗的地方

卻被你的光芒照的通亮
 

dimly /'d?mli/ adv. 朦朧地;微暗

belonging /b?'l????/ n. 所有物;附屬物

That no one else had looked

Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you

Are helping me to make

Of the lumber of my life

Not a tavern

But a temple;

Out of the works

Of my every day

Not a reproach

But a song.

別人都不曾費心走那么遠

別人都覺得尋找太麻煩

所以沒人發(fā)現(xiàn)過我的美麗

所以沒人到過這里

因為你將我的生活化腐朽為神奇。

因為有你，

我的生命，

不再是平凡的旅店，

而成為了恢弘的廟宇，

我日復(fù)一日的工作里，

不再充滿抱怨，

而是美妙的旋律。
 

lumber /'l?mb?/ n. 木材;廢物;腐朽的東西

I love you

Because you have done

More than any creed

Could have done

To make me good

And more than any fate

Could have done

To make me happy.

You have done it

Without a touch,

Without a word,

Without a sign.

You have done it

By being yourself.

Perhaps that is what

Being a friend means,

After all.

我愛你，

因為你比信念更能使我的生活變得無比美好，

因為你比命運更能使我的生活變得充滿歡樂。

而你做出這一切的一切，

不費一絲力氣，

一句言辭，

一個暗示，

你做出這一切的一切，

只是因為你就是你，

畢竟，

這也許就是喜歡的含義。
