中英双语阅读79：我爱你，不只是因为你的样子
Love 爱
作者：Roy Croft
I love you
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you
我爱你
不光因为你的样子
还因为，和你在一起时，我的样子
I love you
Not only for what
You have made of yourself
But for what
You are making of me
我爱你
不光因为你为我而做的事
还因为，为了你，我能做成的事
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out
我爱你
因为你能唤出
我最真的那部分
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
我爱你
因为你穿越我心灵的旷野
如同阳光穿越水晶般容易
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
我的傻气，我的弱点
在你的目光里几乎不存在
而在我心里最美丽的地方
却被你的光芒照的透亮
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find
别人都不曾费心走那么远
别人都觉得寻找太麻烦
所以没人发现过我的美丽
所以没人到过这里
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
我爱你
因为你帮着我去理解
那生活的不堪
Not a tavern
But a temple
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song
你没有把我
当做你路上的客栈
而是内心深处虔诚的圣殿
对于我的工作
还有我琐碎的每一天
你不是去责备
而是为我倾唱
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
我爱你
因为你给予我的
远甚于任何山盟海誓
都是为了我好
你给予我的
比任何的恩惠还要多
也都是为了我的幸福
You have done it
Without a touch
Without a word
Without a sign
You have done it
By being yourself
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means
After all
你给了我这许多
没有一次接触
没有一句话语
没有一个暗示
你给了我这许多
仅仅是因为你就是你
也许这才是作为朋友
最终的真谛
