  How do I love thee (by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861))

  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 everyday'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 a 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.

  译文:我是怎样的爱你?(伊丽莎白·勃朗宁)

  我是怎样的爱你?诉不尽万语千言:

  我爱你的程度是那样地高深和广远,

  恰似我的灵魂曾飞到了九天与黄泉,

  去探索人生的奥妙,和神灵的恩典。

  无论是白昼还是夜晚,我爱你不息,

  像我每日必需的摄生食物不能间断。

  我纯洁地爱你,不为奉承吹捧迷惑,

  我勇敢地爱你,如同为正义而奋争!

  爱你,以昔日的剧痛和童年的忠诚,

  爱你,以眼泪、笑声及全部的生命。

  要是没有你,我的心就失去了圣贤,

  要是没有你,我的心就失去了激情。

  假如上帝愿意,请为我作主和见证:

  在我死后,我必将爱你更深,更深!

  ---袁广达 梁葆成译
