摘录《How to Love》-THICH NHAT HANH

RESPECT AND TRUST
Along with the traditional four elements of true love-loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity-there are two more elements: respect and trust. These elements can be found in the four, but it helps to mention their names. When you love someone, you have to have trust and confidence. Love without trust is not yet love. Of course, first you have to have trust, respect, and confidence in yourself. Trust that you have a good and compassionate nature. You are part of the universe; you are made of stars. When you look at your loved one, you see that he is also made of stars and carries eternity inside. Looking in this way, we naturally feel reverence. True love cannot be without trust and respect for oneself and for the other person.
尊重和信任
除了真爱传统的四要素——慈爱、同情、喜悦、平静——还有另外两个要素：尊重和信任。这些元素也可以在这四元素中找到，但把它们提出来会有所帮助。当你爱一个人时，你必须有信任和信心。没有信任的爱不是爱。当然，首先你得对自己信任、尊重和有信心。相信你的本质是善良和富有同情心的。你是宇宙的一部分；你是由星星组成的。当你看着你所爱的人时，你会发现他也是由星星组成的，里面承载着永恒。如此一看，我们自然而然感到敬畏。真正的爱离不开对自己以及对对方的信任和尊重。
BE BEAUTIFUL, BE YOURSELF
If you can accept your body, then you have a chance to see your body as your home. You can rest in your body, settle in, relax, and feel joy and ease. If you don't accept your body and your mind, you can't be at home with yourself. You have to accept yourself as you are. This is a very important practice. As you practice building a home in yourself, you become more and more beautiful.
成为美，成为自己
如果你能接纳你的身体，那么你也有机会把你的身体看成你的“家”。你可以在你的身体里休息，安顿下来，放松一下，感受快乐与轻松。如果你不接纳你的身体和思想，你就难以和自己一起待在“家里”。你必须接受你本来的样子。这是一个非常重要的练习。当你练习为自己建造一个“家”时，你会变得越来越美、和谐。
YOU ARE A FLOWER
Every child is born in the garden of humanity as a flower. Each flower differs from every other flower. There are many messages in our society that tell us, even when we're young people, that there's something wrong with us and that if we just buy the right product, or look a certain way, or have the right partner, that will fix it. As grown-ups, we can remind young people that they're already beautiful as they are; they don't have to be someone else.
你是一朵花儿
每个孩子都是在人类花园中诞生的花朵。每一朵花都各不相同。即使在我们年少的时候，社会上仍有很多信息告诉我们：我们有问题。似乎只要我们买对了产品，或者长得好看，或者找对了伴侣，就能解决问题。作为成年人，我们可以提醒未成年人，他们本来就很美; 他们不必是别人。
BODY AND MIND
Body and mind are not two separate entities. What happens in the body will have an effect on the mind and vice versa. Mind relies on the body to manifest, and body relies on mind in order to be alive, in order to be possible.
When you love someone, you have to respect her, not only her mind but also her body. You respect your own body, and you respect her body. Your body is you. Your body is your mind. The other person's mind and body are also connected.
身体和思想
身体和思想不是两个独立的实体。身体上发生的事情会对思想产生影响，反之亦然。思想依靠身体来显现，而身体依靠思想精神才能活着，才能成为可能的存在。
当你爱一个人的时候，你不仅要尊重她的思想，还要尊重TA的身体。你能尊重自己的身体时，也能尊重TA的身体。你的身体就是你的一部分。你的身体也是你思想的呈现。另一个人的思想和身体也是相连的。
晚安，好梦！
