美文賞析:欲愛人 先愛己

I want to fall in love in 2016.
在2016年我渴望墜入愛河

I want to fall head over heels this year. By the very end of it, I want to be bursting at the seams of all my scars with a love burning happily in my heart.
這一年我希望自己愛得死心塌地。待到年末之際，我希望衝破所有創傷，讓愛的火焰在心中快樂地燃燒。

I want the authentic feeling that surpasses dreaming -- a love that is true and never fleeting. I want this for myself as well as for you. I'd like it for the world, if possible.
我渴望那種超越夢境的真實感覺——那種真正的、永不流逝的愛。我希望你我皆有這種感覺。如果可能的話，全世界都能享受這種感覺。

I want to be every fear I've ever held in the darkest parts of my heart transformed into the purest desire for truth. I want to feel the magic of love singing my soul to sleep.
我希望我內心最陰暗處曾擁有的每一份恐懼都轉化爲對真愛最熱切的渴望。我期望感受到那種魔力，那種愛情唱着歌讓靈魂入眠的魔力。
2016年我想這樣去愛……

I want to fall in love before I fall for you.
在愛上你之前，我想先墜入愛河

So I would like to fall in love many times this year, so that I may know how extraordinary you are when you appear.
所以今年我想墜入愛河很多次，次數多到你一出現我就知道你是多麼的與衆不同。

I must fall in love this year so I can understand the magnitude of what you will be -- of what you will mean to me, and I to you.
我今年一定要墜入愛河，這樣我才能知道你的出現是多麼的重要——關於你對我、我對你意味着什麼。

That's how I want to fall in love in 2016. I want to know love before I know you. I want to feel its essence and understand its woes. I want to fall in love this way so that I am full of so much love to hand to you, and I am waiting patiently for the day when I can give it all to you.
這些就是2016年我想去愛的方式。我想在認識你之前先懂得愛，我想感受到愛情的本質並懂得它的悲哀。我想如此去愛，這樣我就會有足夠的愛來傳遞給你，我會耐心地等待着那一天的到來，在那天我將把所有愛都傳遞給你。
