I love you

Not only for what you are

But for what I am when I am with you

我爱你

不光是因为你的样子

还因为和你在一起时

我的样子

Not only for what

you have made of yourself

but for what

you are making of me

I love you

for the part of me

that you bring out

不光因为你为我而做的事

为了你

我能做成的事

因为你能唤出

我最真的那一部分

For putting your hand 

into my heaped-up heart

and passing over all the foolish

weak things 

that you can’t help dimly seeing there

and for drawing out into the light

all the beautiful belongings

that no one else had looked 

quite far enough to find

因为你穿越我心灵的旷野

就如同阳光穿透水晶般容易

我的傻气，我的弱点

在你的目光里几乎不存在

而我心里最美丽的地方

却被你的光芒照得通亮

别人都不曾费心走那么远

I love you because you are helping me

to make of the lumber of my life

not a tavern

but a temple 

out of the works of my every day

not a reproach 

but a song

我爱你

因为你将我的生活化腐朽为神奇

因为有你

我的生命不再是平凡的旅店

而成为了恢弘的庙宇

我日复一日的工作里

不再充满抱怨

而是美妙的旋律

because you have done 

more than any creed could have done 

to make me good

and more than any fate 

to make me happy

我爱你

因为你比信念

更能使我的生活变得无比美好

因为你比所有可能的命运

更能使我的生活充满欢乐

You have done it

without a touch

without a word

without a sign

by being yourself

perhaps that is what

being a friend means after all

而你做出这一切的一切

不费一丝力气

一句言辞

一个暗示

你做出这一切的一切

只是因为你就是你

毕竟

这也许就是朋友的含义
