我怎样地爱你
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
我怎样地爱你?让我来告诉你
我用我灵魂达到的极限来爱你
就像在黑暗中感受
生命的尽头和上帝的恩惠
我爱你是每天
日光和烛焰下最基本的需要
我慷慨地爱你,就像人类为权利而斗争
我纯洁地爱你,就像人类不为赞美而陶醉
我爱你,我的深情不再留给往日悲伤
我爱你如童年的信仰
我爱你,就像爱那些天上的圣人
我爱你,用我生命中所有的呼吸、微笑和泪水
如果上帝让我死去,我会接受
但死后我会更加爱你。
