How do I love thee

HOW DO I LOVE THEE
我是多么爱你
作者:伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁

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 candlelight.

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.

译文一

我是多么爱你?

让我一一述说

我爱你的深度、宽广、高度

延及到心灵,当不在一起时我感到


生命尽了还有全部的祈祷

我爱你的程度达到每天

不可或缺,就像太阳和烛光一样


我慷慨的爱你,就像人类为正义而战

我纯洁的爱你,就像人类带来的称赞

我爱你用尽我所有的激情


在我暮年悲痛时,我爱你如童年的信仰

我爱你似乎要失去我这个虔诚的信徒--我爱你

就像呼吸、微笑和眼泪融入我的生命。


还有

如果上帝让决定

我死了以后也会加倍的爱你。

译文二

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

吾爱汝深深几许?今且听吾细数之

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

欲言情深深似海,欲状情厚更无垠

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

此心幽幽不可名,此情切切绕魂灵

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

奉祷三生冀神佑,执手一诺许终生

I love thee to the level of everyday's

思君不见日难度,柔情入盏饮朝暮

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

于昼不可无金乌,是夜岂能少龙烛

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

吾心真率无犹疑,坦若君子承浩气

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

吾爱纯粹无污秽,洁如赞歌携颂回

I love thee with the passion put to use

此情灼灼如烈焰,为汝独燃无余烬

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

倘若迟暮生悲痛,梦归童乡拾彼心

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

曾疑应舍白头意,仿若迷徒失圣心

With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,

而今终得汝相惜,一呼一吸两相系

Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,

焕彩重描笑与泪,生生世世不相离

I shall but love thee better after death.

死后神明若问起,有过之而无不及
