The next greatest pleasure to love is to talk of love .
十六世纪法国诗人Louise Labe说,女人最大的愉悦感,除了爱情本身,就是对爱情的谈论。
穷人们谈钱,富人们谈感情。而女人,就扮演着精神世界里富人们的角色。
英文里的爱情又是怎样的呢?
Story one :
And what began as filling a void in each other has slowly evolved into something more.
The guy who broke my heart in college has become my best friend all over again.
And I'm afraid I am falling in love with him all over again.
Yet , like all those years before , we never talk about love. We never talk about what happened.
While we both have gotten on with ourselves, for me , the past is still there, lingering like a shadow.
I realize that now is all there is.
This is when I let him go - the guy who broke my heart in college-and this is when I let myself go.
I ease into his open arms.
当年我们阴差阳错,现在我们恩爱如初。
Story two :
Unfortunately, magic is fleeting.The moment is gone ,like a wristwatch disappearing in the hands of a street magician.By the middle of the reception, the magic had vanished , and I was a giant , white-satin ball of stress.
Folklore says the way your wedding day unfolds will foretell the path of your married life.
Nonsense.
Your life together is what you make of it.
If I were to take something from that day as an omen, it would be this : Our first-dance song was "Ev'ry Day(I 'll Fall in love)"*sung by Joe Williams.
The song is about falling in love with someone not once,but every day, making each day a new opportunity to cherish each other .
And we held each other on the dance floor that night , trying to shake off our anger , those words told us that we could start over again tomorrow- and we did.
结婚的当天,并没有如愿地那么顺利。那是我第一次与他争吵,在我们结婚的当天。可我和他,成为了"我们",我们能够面对生活中的不完美,我们能够坐下来平心静气地沟通。
Story three :
Far better , I decided, to have a trusted and honest friend than a halfhearted romance.
与其苦苦挣扎,不如趁早放弃。除去心中的隐忍,当朋友未必比不上半心恋人。
Story four :
He absorbed her with his eyes, with his mind, with his aura. Birdie looked at me desperately , her eyes frightened, like a colt(小马驹) unable to escape a burning barn(马厩).No one had ever called her beautiful, and she hardly knew what expected of her.
以下是Birdie对"他"的日记 :
写给恋爱中的女人在我眼里你就是独一无二的美丽,不需要做任何的修饰,不需要做任何改变 ,Just be yourself.
All I ask of you is forever to remember me as loving you. ———《all I ask of you》 From Phantom of the Opera.
请记着,我永远爱你,无论身在何方,无论身处何时。我,永远爱你。
Story five :
The piano playing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco " as my farther drew Mom onto the dance floor. The silver ball above showered a thousand mirrored starts on them alone.
有两个孩子后,一首舞曲让我们回到往昔。
Want to leave those brambles for two minutes and get a hug ?
Hey , 愿意放下手里的活,和我拥抱两分钟吗?六十岁的时候,拥抱的时间,从两分钟慢慢延长。听说爱情回来了。
无论你的爱情是何种姿态,也许是阴差阳错地要选择放弃,也许是迫不得已地要舍下暗恋,也许求婚那一天一切都那么不完美,也许是已经走过三十年无风无浪的平静生活,也许...... 请别忘了停下忙碌,或是对自己的心一诉衷肠,或是邀请心爱的人舞一支曲,唱一支歌。
