一直沉迷于中文的美好，也会震撼于一些英到中的绝世翻译。
比如引用自莎士比亚的戏剧《皆大欢喜》的一句话：
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.
看到的一个最喜欢的翻译为：
爱广施，信慎与，恶勿行
还有之前看到过的

关于这一句英文的出处，有人说是《暮光之城》，也有人说是泰戈尔《飞鸟集》，而是国外的一本2006年的杂刊《泡妞短信集锦》。我第一次看到，是通过好友朋友圈，她理工男的未婚夫曾经拿这和她表白，她曾经还以为是原创翻译。
沉心于美好的词句，自己也开始心痒痒。
我一直喜欢一首歌，Celion Dion （席琳·迪翁）的Because You Loved Me。
尽管不懂音乐，但是还是深深地沉迷于席琳·迪翁空灵、深情的嗓音，感动于歌词。
终于，我为这首我喜欢了将近十年的歌，写出了我的翻译。
Because you loved me 因为你爱过我
For all those times you stood by me

整首歌，让人感动。听着这首歌，一路会回忆起许多爱我和我爱的人，回忆起美好的话语，美好的片段。
但是感动的背后也有忧伤，全歌除了一句“You've been my inspiration 你一直是我生命的灵感” 和“I'm everything I am 我是这样的我”之外都是过去时态，不禁让人伤感，这份那么好的爱已经逝去。如果这是爱情故事，想必更添忧伤；其实这首歌，创作灵感来自于好莱坞词曲女王黛安·华伦的父亲，而她创作这首歌曲的目的，亦是为了感谢父亲在她15岁的时候，给予她音乐事业方面的鼓励和支持。
那么美好的爱虽已是过去时，但是因为那份爱，即使只是爱过，也造就了今天的“我”。
愿你喜欢这首歌，愿你被爱过、被爱着。
