好文章欣賞：愛是什麼

摘錄：你的命運，你的未來之路，你選擇幹什麼，所有這一切決定着愛的意義。愛永遠不會是千篇一律的，通過對愛的選擇和體驗，你會給愛下一個定義。

Being possibly the most trivial question of all time, this is one hard question to ask.

Love is not a bond, or a relationship, but more of a heart to heart conversation. When the conversation grow the bond and relationship forms. Therefore, love creates the bond and relationship.

Still, that leaves us with the main question, what is love?

愛可能是有史以來最平常的一個問題，也是一個讓人很難回答的問題。

愛不是一種結合，或一種關係，它更多的是一種心靈和心靈的交談。當這種交談不斷髮展時，結合和愛情關係就形成了。因此，愛能導致結合和愛情關係。

儘管如此，還是留給了我們一個重要的問題，什麼是愛?

Love is no ordinary thing. It is not voluntary, but when it begin you will know.

愛不是一件普通的事情。它不是隨意的，在愛產生的時候，你會知道。

There are three types of love. Infatuation, love of family, and love of your spouse.

有三種類型的愛：糊塗的愛，家庭的愛，夫妻的愛。

Infatuation, most commonly known as “Puppy Love”, is basically love at first sight.

Infatuation can be the beginning of a future spouse love. Though most often infatuation doesn’t amount to much.

眾所周知，糊塗的愛是一種不成熟的少年男女之間的愛慕，基本上屬於一見鍾情。這種愛可能是將來夫妻之愛的開始。不過，這種愛通常不重要。

Love of family is loving your mother and father, and any siblings you may have. You want to protect them, watch over them, and fill their lives with an unbounding joy. The parents have an innermost feeling for their children, which in my case, they express everyday.

家庭之愛是對你的父母和你的兄弟姐妹的愛。你想要保護他們，照看他們，讓他們的生活充滿無限的歡樂。父母內心深處對他們的孩子充滿了感情，就我來説，這種感情父母每天都會表現出來。

Love of your spouse means loving someone you are married to. Whether husband or wife, you support your spouse with a deep modesty, and you treat them with great respect.

夫妻之愛意味着愛你結婚的人。無論是丈夫或妻子，你發自內心地支持你的配偶，給他們以最大的關心和尊重。

Okay, so I told you the three types of love. But I still haven’t told you what love is. I told you a definition, a heart to heart conversation, but does that tell you much? No. So, I will put it straight.

不錯，我告訴了你3種類型的愛。然而，我還沒有告訴你愛是什麼?我告訴過你一個定義：愛是心靈與心靈的交談，但是，這個定義告訴你愛的全部意義了嗎?沒有。因此，我將坦率地談一談什麼是愛。

Love means to care, to protect, to watch over, to pray for, to make sure the loved person is happy. But to tell you the truth, those are all parts of love. Not love itself.

愛意味着關心、愛護、照顧和祈禱，確保你愛的人快樂。但説實在話，這些都是愛的組成部分，不是愛的本身。

So, I will tell you what I think of love. Love has a meaning, but we will never know. Many philosophers have tried, but all their attempts have failed. Every single one of them!

因此，我告訴你我對愛的看法是什麼。愛具有一種含意，但是，我們永遠不知道這種含意。許多哲學家試圖弄懂它的含意，但他們的各種嘗試全都失敗了，他們每一個人都失敗了!

Love is actually never the same thing.

事實上，愛從來不是千篇一律的事。

Your destiny, your future path, what you choose to do, that all determines what love is. Love is never the same, you make up the meaning of love by how you choose to use it.

你的命運，你的未來之路，你選擇幹什麼，所有這一切決定着愛的意義。愛永遠不會是千篇一律的，通過對愛的選擇和體驗，你會給愛下一個定義。
