晨讀英語美文100篇六級(jí)Relationship that Lasts

[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.43]Passage 9. Relationship that Lasts [00:07.46]If somebody tells you,“ I’ll love you for ever,” will you believe it? [00:14.04]I don’t think there’s any reason not to. [00:17.31]We are ready to believe such commitment at the moment, [00:21.04]whatever change may happen afterwards. [00:23.76]As for the belief in an everlasting love, that’s another thing. [00:29.56]Then you may be asked whether there is such a thing as an everlasting love. [00:35.15]I’d answer I believe in it, but an everlasting love is not immutable. [00:41.27]You may unswervingly love or be loved by a person. [00:45.54]But love will change its composition with the passage of time. [00:49.92]It will not remain the same. [00:52.43]In the course of your growth and as a result of your increased experience, [00:58.34]love will become something different to you. [01:01.51]In the beginning you believed a fervent love for a person could last definitely. [01:07.64]By and by, however, “fervent” gave way to “prosaic”. [01:12.67]Precisely because of this change it became possible for love to last. [01:17.92]Then what was meant by an everlasting love would eventually end up in a sort of interdependence. [01:25.47]We used to insist on the difference between love and liking. [01:30.29]The former seemed much more beautiful than the latter. [01:34.12]One day, however, it turns out there’s really no need to make such difference. [01:40.24]Liking is actually a sort of love. [01:43.09]By the same token, the everlasting interdependence is actually an everlasting love. [01:49.43]I wish I could believe there was somebody who would love me for ever. [01:54.46]That’s, as we all know, too romantic to be true.Instead, it will more often than not be a case of lasting relationship.
