英文学习-七夕

August 7，2019是中国的七夕，拜七姐，祈福许愿、乞求巧艺、坐看牵牛织女星、祈祷姻缘。

这期就发一些关于爱情的格言给大家

第一句
If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure don't deserve me at my best.
― Marilyn Monroe
如果你无法应对最坏的我，那你也不值得拥有最好的我。
——玛丽莲·梦露

而大家熟悉的《七年之痒》就来自于她的电影《The Seven Year Itch》

第二句
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
爱情不是用眼睛看的，而是用心体会的，所以丘比特的眼睛总是蒙着的。
——威廉·莎士比亚，《仲夏夜之梦》

第三句
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
任我怎样挣扎都无济于事，我对你的感情再也抑制不住了。请允许我向你告白，我对你仰慕不已，不能自拔。
——简·奥斯汀，《傲慢与偏见》
• In vain /veɪn/：徒劳，白费力气
• Repress /rɪˈprɛs/：压抑
• Ardent /ˈɑrdənt/：热心的，热烈的

这部小说曾是我最喜欢的一部之一，找个时间一定好好看一遍英文版的

第四句
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
― Ernest Hemingway, Men Without Women
最痛苦的事莫过于，你太过深爱那个人，却失去了自己。
——欧内特斯·海明威，《没有女人的男人们》

最后一句
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
— Holy Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。爱是永不止息。
——《圣经：哥林多前书》13章4-7节
• Boast /boʊst/：自夸
• Self-seeking：追求自己的利益
• Rejoice /rɪ'dʒɔɪs/：高兴，庆祝
• Persevere /,pɝsə'vɪr/：坚持

我很想把第一句和第四句送给所有在爱情累受过伤的朋友！

但最打动我的却是最后一句Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

也希望我带着这份期待，找到我的下一个彼岸！
