How do I love thee?

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.

-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

我应怎样爱你

我应怎样爱你？让我一一为你诉说。

我爱你直至最深邃最宽广最高远

我灵魂可触及之处，当知觉挣脱了视觉的束缚之时

为了生命的极致与逸想的恩惠

我爱你达到了每天都要思念你的地步

这默默的支持着我的生命，就像白日的太阳与夜晚的烛火。

我是那样慷慨地恋慕着你，如同人们为了正义而奋斗。

我是那样纯粹地恋慕着你，当对你的赞美转化为爱恋。

我将所有的激情尽数投入在爱你之中

在我暮年的伤痛之时，对你的爱像儿时的信仰。

我爱你就像那我以为随着圣者的消逝而消失的爱恋。

我爱你用尽了我一生的呼吸，

微笑，泪水；如果这是上帝的旨意，

我对你的爱凌驾于死亡之巅。
