人生哲理美文08:When Love Beckons You 愛的召喚
愛的召喚
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wingsenfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
當(dāng)愛召喚你時(shí)，請(qǐng)追隨她,盡管愛的道路艱難險(xiǎn)峻。當(dāng)愛的羽翼擁抱你時(shí)，請(qǐng)順從她， 盡管隱藏在其羽翼之下的利刃可能會(huì)傷到你。當(dāng)愛向你訴說時(shí)，請(qǐng)相信她,盡管她的聲音 可能擊碎你的夢(mèng)想，就如同北風(fēng)吹落花園里所有的花瓣。
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for yourpruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
愛雖可為你加冕,也能將你釘上十字架。愛會(huì)助你成長，也會(huì)給你修剪枝杈。它會(huì)攀 至高處，輕撫你在陽光下顫動(dòng)的最柔嫩的枝條，也會(huì)下潛至根部,撼動(dòng)你緊抓泥土的根基。
But if, in your fear, you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love givesnaught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
但是,如果你在恐懼之中只想尋求愛的平和與快樂，那你就最好掩蓋真實(shí)的自我，避 開愛的考驗(yàn)，進(jìn)入不分季節(jié)的世界，在那里，你會(huì)開懷，但不是盡情歡笑，你會(huì)哭泣，但不 是只有淚水。愛除了自身別無所求，除了自身也別無所取。愛一無所有,也不會(huì)為誰所有， 因?yàn)閻郾旧砭鸵炎宰恪?/p>
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires：
愛除了實(shí)現(xiàn)自我別無他求。但是如果你愛而又不得不有所求，那就請(qǐng)期望：
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
將自己融化并像奔流的溪水一般向夜晚吟唱自己優(yōu)美的曲調(diào)。
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
明了過多的溫柔所帶來的苦痛。
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
被自己對(duì)愛的理解所傷害;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
心甘情愿地滴血。
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
在黎明帶著輕快的心醒來并感謝有一個(gè)充滿愛的日子;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
午休,沉思愛的心醉神怡。
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
在黃昏懷著感恩之心回家;
And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
然后為內(nèi)心所愛之人祈禱,吟唱贊美之歌，并帶著禱告和歌聲入眠。
