英语散文美文爱情(3)

　　By how much the more,men ought to beware of this passion ,which loseth not only other things,but itself!As for the other losses,the poet's relation doth well figure them;that he that preferred Helen,quitted the gifts of Juno and Pullas .For whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection ,quitteth both riches and wisdom.

　　由此可见，人们应当十分警惕这种感情。因为它不但会使人丧失身外之物，而且可以使人丧失自己本身。古诗人早告诉我们：追求海伦的人是放弃了朱诺和雅典娜的礼物。过分看重爱情的人都终须放弃了财富和智慧。

　　This passion hath his floods,in very times of weakness;which are great prosperity,and great adversity;though this latter hath been less observed:both which times kindle love,and make it more fervent,and therefore show it to be the child of folly.They do best,who if they cannot but admit love,yet make it keep quarters;and sever it wholly from their serious affairs,and actions,of life;for if it check once with business,it thoubleth men's fortunes,and maketh men,that they can no ways be true to their own ends.

　　当人心最软弱的时候，爱情最容易入侵，那就是当人春风得意、忘乎所以和处境窘困孤独凄零的时候，虽然后者未必能得到爱情。人这样的时候，最急于跳入爱情的火焰中。由此可见，“爱情”实在是“愚蠢”的儿子。但有一些人，即使心中有了爱，仍能约束它，使它不妨碍重大的事业。因为爱情一旦干扰情绪，就会阻碍人坚定地奔向既定的目标。

　　I know not how,but martial men are given to love:I think,it is but as they are given to wine;for perils commonly ask to be in pleasures.There is in man's nature ,a secret inclination and motion,towards love of others,which if it be not spent upon some one or a few ,doth naturally spread itself towards many,and maketh men become humane and charitable;as it is seen sometime in friars.　　我不懂是什么原因，很更容易坠人情网，这也许正嗜酒一样，因为危险的生活欢乐的补偿.人的心中可能普遍具有一种博爱倾向，若不集中于某个专一的对象身上，就必然施之于更广泛的大众，使他成为仁善的人，像有的僧侣那样。

　　Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it;but wanton love corrupteth,and embaseth it.

　　夫妻的爱，使人类繁衍;朋友的爱，给人以帮助;但荒淫纵欲的爱，却只会使人堕落毁灭啊!　　英语散文爱情美文篇二

　　蝶—佚名My newlywed husband said the same thing every morning."You're beautiful today."

　　我的新婚丈夫每天早晨都对我说出同样的话。“你今天真美。”

　　One glance in the mirror revealed that it was far from the truth.

　　只需往镜子里一瞥就能揭示他说的根本不是事实。
