The Meaning of Love （爱的箴言）

The Meaning of Love

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return
But what is more paintful is
to love someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return,just wait for it
to grow in their heart.
But if it doesn't,be content it grew in yours.


Love comes
To those who still hope
although they've been disappointed;
To those who still believe
although they've been betrayed;
To those who still need to love
although they've been hurt before.

It takes only a minutes to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to fotget someone.

Don't look for looks,they can deceive;
Don't look for wealth,even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

To love someone is
to let those we love be just themselves;
and not twist them with our own image.
Otherwise,we love only the reflection of
ourselves we find in them.

 

爱的箴言  （小鱼译于2003年6月）

爱一个人而得不到回应，是让人心伤的；
然而，更让人心痛的是，
爱一个人却找不到勇气让他（她）知道你的感受

给予对方你全部的爱是永远不能保证他也给你同样的爱
所以，不要期盼爱的回应，只是等待吧，等待爱滋长在对方的心里。
而如果，爱不能在对方心里成长，也请满足它种在了你的心上。

爱情来了
给那些曾经失望过，却仍然抱着希望的人；
给那些曾经被背叛过，却仍然相信的人；
给那些曾经被伤害过，但仍然憧憬爱的人。

被一个人吸引可能仅仅需要一分钟，
喜欢一个人，需要一个小时，
爱上一个人，需要一天，
但是，忘记一个人，却需要我们付出一生的时间。

不要寻找外表，它们会遮蔽了你的眼睛；
不要寻找财富，它们终会是过眼云烟。
去寻找一个能让你会心微笑的人吧，
那样，仅仅一个微笑，就能让黑暗的日子看到光明。

爱一个人，是让我们爱的人只做他们自己；
并不是用我们自己的意想曲解他们。
否则，我们爱的就仅仅是我们在他们身上找到的自己的影子。
