情感美文:爱是什么

2016-11-29

摘要:有时候,爱情来得轻而易举。你就知道你会遇见他。你的心告诉你,有一天你会爱上他。多数时候,爱情并非那么容易。有时候,爱情需要时间来培养。

As a matchmaker, I've seen droves of people fall in love. Occasionally, love comes easy. You meet someone and you just know. Your heart tells you that one day you'll fall in love with them. Most of the time, it isn't exactly that easy. Sometimes, love takes time to develop. It starts as a slow feeling of like and develops into something very powerful - something that's overpowering.

作为红娘,我看到成群的人坠入爱河。有时候,爱情来得轻而易举。你就知道你会遇见他。你的心告诉你,有一天你会爱上他。多数时候,爱情并非那么容易。有时候,爱情需要时间来培养。起初的时候,是慢慢喜欢上的感觉,这种感觉愈来愈强烈、变得势不可挡。

When you're in love, you're overwhelmed with a feeling of gratefulness. You feel lucky, and special- very, very special. You're constantly thanking the universe for bringing you such a wonderful feeling.

恋爱中的你,总是心怀感激。你觉得幸运,觉得特别,感到独一无二。你时时感谢宇宙给你如此绝妙的体验。

爱是什么

Love is one of the best feelings in the world. It's something that makes you happy almost all of the time. When you have a bad day, it lifts you up. Being in love puts a constant smile on your face.

爱情是世上最美好的感受之一。爱情让你分分秒秒都快乐。你要是哪天心情不佳,爱情让你精神大振。恋爱中的你脸上总挂着微笑。

Love is a feeling of deep affection. It's an intense attachment to someone. Love draws you to that person, in ways you can't always explain.

爱情是深深爱恋的感觉,对人强烈的依恋。你说不清也道不明爱情如何把你吸引到那人的身旁。

Love is caring for someone deeply and 100 percent unconditionally. Love is being passionate about life and everything you can accomplish. Love makes you motivated. It encourages you to break down yourinhibitions.

爱情是深切关怀一个人,百分百无条件的爱。爱情是对生活激情满怀,对事事充满信心。爱情激发斗志,鼓励你挣脱枷锁。

Love makes you feel safe. It gives you a feeling of security, knowing you have someone to always count on. Love gives you something to look forward to. Love makes your present and future better. Love transforms you. It makes you believe in things you didn't think existed. Love gives you hope.

爱情让你安心,给你安全感,你知道总有人可以依靠。爱情让你有所企盼,无论现在还是将来都变得更好。爱情改变你,让你相信之前不曾有的事情。爱情给你希望。

Love isn't perfect; it isn't a fairytale. But absolutely always, it's worth it.

爱情不是尽善尽美的,也不是童话故事。但爱情绝对是永远值得的。

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there.

When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
