【正文】 l ina loving relationship. Distance and can intensify a loving bond, and it can help us rediscoverourselves, so that we are able to meet each other in a new way.　　愛意味著理解所愛的人。如果我愛你，我就能與你有同樣的情感，我就能通過你的眼睛去看這世界。我理解你是因為我能夠在你身上看到我自己，并在我自己身上看到你。這種親密無間并不意味著持續(xù)地呆在一起，有時候，距離和分別對于相愛同樣是必要的。距離會加強愛的聯(lián)系，會有助于我們重現(xiàn)認(rèn)識自己，使我們可以以新的方式面對對方。　　Love means selfish. I can only love you if I genuinely love, value, appreciate, and respectmyself. If I am empty, then all I can give you is my emptiness. If I feel that I’m plete andworthwhile in myself, then I’m able to give to you out of my fullness. One of the best ways forme to give you love is by fully enjoying myself with you.　　愛中充滿了自我。只有我能真正地愛著自己，珍視自己，欣賞自己，尊重自己，我才能愛你。如果我生活空虛，那么我能給予你的只能是我的空虛。如果我感到自己是完整的，有價值的，那么我就能讓你分享我的充實。給予我對你的愛，的方式就是和你在一起充分享受我的一切?！　ove involves seeing the potential within the person we love. In my love for another, I view heror him as the person she or he can bee, while still accepting who and what the person isnow. Goethe’s observation is relevant here: by taking people as they are, we make themworse, but by treating them as if they already were what they ought to be, we help make thembetter.　　愛包含著看到我所愛的人的潛在能力。我愛那個人，我一方面承認(rèn)他的現(xiàn)狀，另一方面我現(xiàn)在就視他為他將來能夠成為的那種人。歌德有一句與此相關(guān)的評論：我們?nèi)绻凑杖藗兊默F(xiàn)狀來對待他們，會使他們越來越差，要是按照他們應(yīng)該達(dá)到的目標(biāo)來對待和要求他們，我們就會促使他們變得更好?！　e conclude this discussion of the meanings that authentic love has for us by sharing athought from Fromm’s The Art of Loving (1956). His des cription of mature love sums up theessential characteristics of authentic love quite well:　　我們把弗羅姆在《愛的藝術(shù)》里闡述的一個觀點介紹給大家，以此來結(jié)束我們對真愛含義的論述。他對成熟的愛的歸納極好地總結(jié)了真愛的基本特征：　　Mature love is union under the condition of preserving one’s integrity, one’s individuality. Inlove this paradox occurs that two beings bee one and yet remain two.　　成熟的愛是兩人的結(jié)合，但又不失各自的完整和特性。愛中有這種矛盾現(xiàn)象：合二為一，卻又一分為二?！　∈〔攀钦嬲呢敻籋ave you ever failed?【篇三】關(guān)于簡單經(jīng)典的英語美文：你曾經(jīng)失敗過嗎？　　If you haven’t, I suggest you try some.　　如果你沒有，那我建議你去嘗試一下。　　I have failed, many times.　　我失敗過，太多次了。　　And some of these failures were even painful.　　而這些失敗之中有一些是很慘痛的?！　ut I cherish them more than I cherish my success.　　但我珍惜它們，更甚于我珍惜我的成功?！　uccess sometimes makes you numb .　　成功有時候會讓你麻木?！　ut failures make you awake. Failures are cleansing.　　但失敗則會讓你清醒。失敗讓你覺得神清氣爽?！　ailing is not necessarily losing. Neither does a failure make you a loser.　　失敗并不一定意味著輸。失敗了，也并不代表你就是個失敗者?！　ailing is just the name we give to the state you stay in until you succeed.　　我們只是用失敗來稱呼成功之前的那種狀態(tài)而已?！　 failure is a precious opportunity to learn new things.　　一次失敗是一次學(xué)習(xí)新東西的好機會?！　nd trust me. You always rememeber what you learn in failures better than those you learn in success.　　而且，相信我。你永遠(yuǎn)會把失敗中所學(xué)的東西記得比成功中所學(xué)的東西更牢固。　　Failing doesn’t mean you lost something forever. It only means that you didn’t get it yet and you have to find another way to get it.　　一次失敗并不意味著你就永遠(yuǎn)失去了什么。它只是意味著你現(xiàn)在還沒得到它，而你需要想另一個辦法去得到它。　　And isn’t that a treature? A new direction to think.　　而這難道不是一份寶藏嗎?一個全新的思考方向?！　on’t pray for easy success. That’ a curse.　　請不要祈求唾手可得的成功。那是一種詛咒?！　ray for hard failure.　　去祈求重大的失敗吧。　　As long as it doesn’t kill you, it will definitely make you stronger.　　只要它沒能將你殺死，那它必將使你更強大。
