我们很多人都对纪伯伦的那首著名的谈论亲子关系的诗《论孩子》印象深刻,
今天我们来分享他的另一首充满智慧的诗作《论婚姻》。
On Marriage - Kahlil Gibran
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
当死亡白色的羽翼掠过你们的生命时,你们也应在一起。
啊,是的,即使在上帝静默的记忆中,你们也将始终相守。
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
就像琴上的弦虽为同一旋律而振动,但琴与弦也是彼此分开的。
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
