2、istencies and faults. Ihave an awareness of the other s feelings and thoughts, andI experience something of the core of that person. I canpenetrate social masks and roles and see the other person ona deeper level.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著了解所愛(ài)之人。能夠理解到這個(gè)人的各個(gè)方面不但僅 是美好的一面，還有他的局限、他的矛盾之處、他的缺點(diǎn)。要看到這個(gè)人的 情感、思想、感受他的內(nèi)心。要能夠透過(guò)他在社

3、交場(chǎng)合的表現(xiàn)和他的社會(huì)角 色而看到他的內(nèi)心深處。3.Love means that I care about the welfare of the personI love.

If I care about you,I m concerned about your growth, and I ho pe y

4、ou will becomeall that you can become. Consequently, I don t put upobstacles to what you do that enhances you as a person ，eventhough it may result in my discomfort at times.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著關(guān)心所愛(ài)之人的幸福。真正的愛(ài)不是占有，也不是束縛。 相反，兩人都在愛(ài)中得到自由。關(guān)心一個(gè)人就是關(guān)心他的成長(zhǎng)，希望他能夠 盡其所能有所成就。所以，我不會(huì)為他的個(gè)人發(fā)展設(shè)置障礙，即使有時(shí)這樣 會(huì)給我?guī)?lái)不便。4.Love means hav

5、ing respect for the dignity of theperson I love.

6、o be who you axe, and Iavoid treating you as an object or using you primarily tosatisfy my own needs.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著尊重所愛(ài)之人。愛(ài)一個(gè)人，就是將其視作一個(gè)獨(dú)立的人， 有他自己的價(jià)值觀、思想和感情。我不會(huì)為了自己而堅(jiān)持要他放棄個(gè)性來(lái)變 成我所希望的他。我能允許，也鼓勵(lì)他與眾不同，成為他自己。我不會(huì)視他 如物，或利用它來(lái)滿足自己的需要。5.Love means having a responsibility toward the person Ilove. If I love you, I re

7、spond to most of your major needs asa person. This responsibility does not include my doing foryou what you are capable of doing for yourself; nor does itmean that I run your life for you.

8、happiness and yoursuffering. A lover does have the capacity to hurt or ignorethe loved one, and in this sense we see that love involves anacceptance of some responsibility for the impact my way ofbeing has on you.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著對(duì)所愛(ài)之人負(fù)責(zé)。愛(ài)一個(gè)人，就要對(duì)他作為獨(dú)立的個(gè)體的 需求做出回應(yīng)。這種負(fù)責(zé)并非替他做他能夠自己做的事情，也不是操縱他的 生活。這種負(fù)責(zé)是承認(rèn)我的所作所為會(huì)影響

9、到他，他的歡樂(lè)痛苦都與我休戚 相關(guān)。相愛(ài)著的人有時(shí)卻會(huì)傷害或忽略對(duì)方，所以，我們知道，愛(ài)就是要為 自己的行為對(duì)對(duì)方產(chǎn)生的影響承擔(dān)某種責(zé)任。6.Love means making a commitment to the person I love.This commitment does not mean surrendering our total selvesto each other; nor does it imply that the relationship isnecessarily permanent. It does involve a willingness to stayw

10、ith each other in times of pain, struggle, and despair, aswell as in times of calm and enjoyment.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著對(duì)所愛(ài)之人做出承諾。這種承諾并非意味著完全把自己交 給對(duì)方，也并不是說(shuō)這個(gè)關(guān)系一定要永遠(yuǎn)不變。這種承諾意味著不論在恬適 歡樂(lè)時(shí)，還是在艱難困苦、失意絕望時(shí)，都愿意廝守相伴。7.Love means trusting the person I love. If I love you ，I trust that you will accept my caring and my love an

11、d thatyou wont deliberately hurt me. I trust that you will findme attractive, and that you won t abandon me; I trust themutual nature of our love. If we trust each other, we arewilling to be open to each other and reveal our true selves.翻譯：愛(ài)就意味著信賴所愛(ài)之人。愛(ài)一個(gè)人，就要相信他會(huì)接受我的關(guān)心， 接受我的愛(ài)，相信他不會(huì)故意傷害我 ; 相信自己對(duì)他有吸引力

12、，相信他不會(huì) 拋棄我; 相信愛(ài)是相互的。如果我們彼此信賴，我們就愿彼此開(kāi)誠(chéng)布公，敞 開(kāi)心扉。8.Love can tolerate imperfection. In a love relationshipthere are times when I am bored, times when I may feel likegiving up ，times of real strain, and times I feel I can tmove forward. Authentic love does not inply enduringhappiness. I can stay during r

13、ough times, however, because Ican remember what we had together in the past ，and I canpicture what we will have together in our future if we careenough to face our problems and work them through. We agreewith the idea that love is a spirit that changes life. Loveis a way of life that is creative and

14、 that transforms.However, love is not reserved for a perfect world. Love ismeant for our imperfect world where things go wrong. Love ismeant to be a spirit that works in painful situations.

15、rfect world tomake it possible to live.翻譯：愛(ài)能夠容忍不完美。愛(ài)人之間有時(shí)也會(huì)感到厭煩，有時(shí)會(huì)想放#，有 時(shí)感到壓力，有時(shí)感到羈絆。真正的愛(ài)并不意味著永遠(yuǎn)幸福。但是，在困難 時(shí)期我能堅(jiān)守，因?yàn)槲胰杂浀梦覀児餐冗^(guò)的往昔，我也能想象如果我們?cè)?意直面問(wèn)題、渡過(guò)難關(guān)，我們將共同擁有什么樣的未來(lái)。我們一致認(rèn)為愛(ài)是 一種精神，它能改變?nèi)松?。?ài)是一種生活方式，它具有創(chuàng)造和改變的力量。 但是愛(ài)并不但僅完美世界所獨(dú)有，愛(ài)本來(lái)就是為我們這個(gè)不完美、有缺陷的 世界而存有的。愛(ài)應(yīng)該是一種能緩解痛苦的精神力量。愛(ài)應(yīng)該給我們這充滿 荒謬的生活帶來(lái)意義。換言之，是愛(ài)使我們?cè)谶@個(gè)不

16、完美的世界上生活下去。9.Love is open. If I love you, I encourage you to reachout and develop other relationships.

17、one person to another in such a way that he or she isnot given room to grow.翻譯：愛(ài)是大方的。愛(ài)一個(gè)人，就要鼓勵(lì)其與他人建立聯(lián)系。即使對(duì)彼此的 愛(ài)與承諾不允許我們有某些行為，這種結(jié)合也不是全然排他的。兩個(gè)人必不 可分，再無(wú)其他發(fā)展的余地，這樣的愛(ài)是不真實(shí)、不明智的。10.Love is selfish. I can only love you if I genuinelylove, value ，appreciate ， and respect myself. If I am enpty,then all I can

18、give you is my emptiness. If I feel that I ，mcomplete and worthwhile in myself, then I ，m able to give toyou out of my fullness. One of the best ways for me to giveyou love is by folly enjoying myself with you.翻譯：愛(ài)又是自私的。只有真正自愛(ài)自重、自賞自尊，才能愛(ài)別人。如果自 己空虛，那么我能給所愛(ài)之人的也只有空虛。如果認(rèn)為自己是完滿的、出色 的，那么我就能以自己的充實(shí)為所愛(ài)之人增光。表達(dá)愛(ài)的方法之一就是 與所愛(ài)之人一起充分體驗(yàn)自己。11.Lov
