Sonnets From The Portuguese - Elizabeth Barrett Brow
葡萄牙人十四行詩 - Elizabeth Barrett Brow
How do I love thee?
我究竟怎樣愛你？
Let me count the ways.
讓我逐一細算。
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
我愛你直到我靈魂所及的深度
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
廣度和高度，我在視力不及之處
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
摸索著存在的極致和美的理想。
I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
我愛你像最樸素的日常需要一樣，就像不自覺地需要陽光和蠟燭。
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
我自由地愛你，像人們選擇正義之路；
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
我純潔地愛你，像人們躲避稱贊頌揚。
I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
我愛你用的是我在昔日的悲痛里，用過的那種激情。以及童年的忠誠。
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
我愛你用的愛，我本以為早巳失去
With my lost saints, —I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! —and, if God choose,
與我失去的圣徒一同；我愛你用笑容、眼淚、呼吸和生命！只要上帝允許，
I shall but love thee better after death.
在死后我愛你將只會更加深情。
