英語美文欣賞 愛字何解？
People often talk about love, but most of us are not fully aware about its true essence. There is lot of misconception about efficacy of love that holds us back to generate loving feelings towards others.
人們經常討論愛。但是我們中的很多人不完全瞭解它的真諦是什麼。我們對愛的功效有諸多誤解，這阻止了我們產生愛的情愫去愛別人。
Love is not possessiveness. People look love as a possession that has to be acquired and preserved. To expect that others ought to provide it to us so that our life is filled with love is the biggest fallacy, which is cause of much unhappiness. It is not like any other material thing to be demanded from others. Even if other person offers us plenty of love, we may not be able to feel it. It is normal to blame others for not loving us, but much depends on our inner self whether it has capability to feel it from others.
愛不是佔有。人們把愛看作是所有物，必須去獲得和保存。去期望別人給我們愛，然後我們的生活就充滿了愛，這是一個最大的錯誤，它會導致很多的不開心。愛和其他物質的東西不一樣，它不能索求於他人。即使其他的人給予我們非常多的愛，我們也可能無法感受到它。責怪別人不給我們愛是正常的，但是更多的在於我們內在自己是否有能力感受別人給我們的愛。
Love is a feeling of well being and of good emotions. Let us engage and create feeling of love by making self capable through appropriate changes in our dealings with others. There is no other way to love and be loved. The physical intimacy devoid of good feelings is not love but lust. People often fail to conceive love as pious in essence. While dealing with others, let us take care that our dealings make them cheerful, by helping them to come out of their problem, appreciate their successes and be grateful for help received from them. All these activities are to express love. The benefit of giving love to others is that it appeals to our heart and makes us connected to others, provides stability and security, removes fear and gives a feeling of being good towards other people. One can get to know love by first generating such feelings of being good to others. How can a person feel love from others if he is filled with ego, anger and selfish tendencies? These negative emotions suppress inner urge to love others.
愛是一種幸福的感覺和一種好的感情。讓我們通過我們自身的努力和待人處事的轉變創造愛的感覺。除此之外，沒有其他方法愛和被愛。肉體上的親密產生不了好的感覺，那不是愛而是慾望。人們通常不把愛看成本質上虔誠的東西。當我們和別人相處的時候，讓我們妥善的處理好人際關係，使他人感到快樂，幫助他人克服他們的困難，欣賞他人的成功，對他人給予我們的幫助心存感激。所有這些舉動都是在表達愛。給別人愛的好處是：一來那是我們心之所願，二來使我們和其他人聯繫在一起，從而提供了穩固，安全的依靠，消除了恐懼，給人以一種善良的感情。一個人只有首先把這種好的感情傳遞給他人，他才能瞭解愛。當一個人充滿著自我，憤怒，自私的傾向，他怎麼會感受到來自別人的愛呢?這些負面的情緒壓制著人們內心去愛別人的衝動。
Love is a divine energy. I had a very vague idea about love initially. As I tried to understand more about it, a completely different perspective and thinking develops that explains the true essence of love. I can imagine that every one of us has a great capacity of this divine love within us, but it is hidden, untapped and misdirected. The true meaning of love is inner purification of soul. This is the real purpose of love.
愛是一種神聖的力量。我剛開始的時候對愛有一個非常模糊的概念，當我努力想要再弄得明白些，一個完全不同的思考問題的角度解釋了愛的真正含義。我能想象我們中的每個人都有能力去理解在我們之間的神聖的愛，但是它往往是被隱藏著，未被開發的，容易被誤導的。真正的愛的含義是內在靈魂的純淨。這是愛的真正的目的。
