每天跟Kelly学英语-诗歌 Love

Kelly 自言自语： 今天被那场撒狗粮的party弄的很兴奋，奉送上这首《爱》。 英语诗歌的翻译是很难的，写就更难，看过大儿子写过的一首诗被老师给了一个A,确实不错，哪天找来贴一下。这首诗经常在婚礼上被读出来，当然是去除掉最后那句。

Love

每天跟Kelly学英语-诗歌 Love

by Roy Croft

I love you,

Not only for what you are,

But for what I am

When I am with you.

我爱你，

不仅是因为你的样子

更是因为和你在一起时，

我的样子

I love you,

Not only for what

You have made of yourself,

But for what

You are making of me.

我爱你，

不仅是因为你所做的事情，

更是因为，有了你，我做到的事情。

I love you

For the part of me

That you bring out;

我爱你，

因为有了你，

才塑造出的那个我。

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

That no one else had looked

Quite far enough to find.

我爱你，

因为你将双手深入我堆积杂乱的心灵，

然后轻轻抚过。

那些傻气，软弱的思绪，

你几乎视而不见。

而那些深藏在我心底，无人企及的

最动人之处

被你一点点发现，照亮。

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.

我爱你，因为－－

你帮助我将生命化腐木为神奇，

不再是平淡无奇的旅店

而是神圣的庙宇

我每日重复平凡的工作

不再充满怨愤，

而成为动听的歌曲。

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.

我爱你，

因为你所做的，

比任何一种信念都使我出色

比任何一种命运都让我欢乐

而你做到了，

甚至没有一丝触摸，

没有一句言语

没有一个暗示

这一切，

简简单单的，只因为你是你

也许，这就是

一个朋友真正的涵义

归根结底。
