美丽英文：世界上最美的情书

2021年3月27日星期六 祝福午安 天气晴朗 气温23℃ 美丽英文 今天上午考完了计算机，接下来就是我的英语专业八级的考试了，希望我好好努力，好好学习英文，好好准备自己的出国留学的资本。 今天上午考试，遇见一个插曲，我看到学校叫来了120救护车，因为考试过程中有个女生晕倒了，我是10点40第二场考试的，她第一场考试就晕倒了，刚好我看到她被抬了出来，送去了医院。 我当时就在想这个考试到底多难？多么折磨人，可以把考试考晕倒了，我今天体验了一把，果然不简单，我是会做的，都做了，不会做的，都空白。只希望60分合格吧，即使不合格，也没有关系，人生完美的事太少，我不能什么都想要。 现在好好整理我的心情，好好准备我的下一场伟大的考试，好好学习英语，这是祝福我一生的。读读美文，读读让心情愉悦的文字，人生就真的格外美好了。 那些诗意盎然的情愫 缘分不是人海中两个人的擦身，缘分是不可能的相遇。比如我是空中的鸟，你是林海的豹，只是我们碰巧相爱。 Love is not about running into each other in crowds. Love is an impossible meeting. For example, I am a bird flying in sky, you are a leopard in forest. We just fall in love accidentally. Every man is a poet when he is in love. 每个恋爱中的人都是诗人。 John Keats to Fanny Brawne 约翰·济慈致芬妮·勃劳恩 Sweetest Fanny, I have had a walk this morning with a book in my hand, but as usual I have been occupied with nothing but you: I wish I could say in an agreeable manner. I am tormented day and night. They talk of my going to Italy. It's certain I shall never recover if I am to be so long separate from you: yet with all this devotion to you I cannot persuade myself into any confidence of you… You are to me an object intensely desirable—the air I breathe in a room empty of you in unhealthy. I am not the same to you—no—you can wait—you have a thousand activities—you can be happy without me. Any party, anything to fill up the day has been enough. How have you passed this month? Who have you smiled with? All this may seem savage in me. You do no feel as I do—you do not know what it is to love—one day you may—your time is not come… I cannot live without you, and not only you but chaste you; virtuous you. The Sun rises and sets, the day passes, and you follow the bent of your inclination to a certain extent—you have no conception of the quantity of miserable feeling that passes through me in a day—Be serious! Love is not a plaything—and again do not write unless you can do it with a crystal conscience. I would sooner die for want of you than— Yours forever J. Keats 【名人小课堂】 约翰·济慈（John Keats，1795—1821），英国诗人，浪漫派主要成员，被推崇为欧洲浪漫主义运动的杰出代表，与雪莱、拜伦齐名。自幼喜爱文学，由于家境窘困，不满16岁就离校学医，后弃医从文，最终成为当时英国文学界的一颗明珠。代表作《伊莎贝拉》《夜莺颂》《秋颂》等。 致我最亲爱的女孩： 今早，我手捧书本独自漫步，但一如往常的是，我心中一直想着你，而且只有你：我多希望自己能说得合情合理。我日夜不得安宁。他们在谈论我去意大利的事。若要与你分开这么久，我定永远不得康复：即便我用尽全身力气来爱你，可我依然无法向你表达我的真实情感…… 你之于我，是如此渴望得到的东西——你若不在，屋子里的空气都变得污浊。可我之于你，却并非如此——不——你可以等——你有成千上万种娱乐方式——没有我，你依然过得快乐。任何聚会，只要能让你消磨时光便已足够。 这个月，你是怎样度过的呢？谁曾博你一笑呢？这一切对我，都如此残忍。你定不能感受我所感受到的东西——你不懂什么是去爱——可总有一天，你会明白——那一天尚未到来…… 我离不开你，纯洁的你，善良的你。日出日落，岁月匆匆，你放浪形骸，随心所欲——我每日所受之苦，你无从得知——认真点吧！爱情可不是儿戏——我依然要说，若你并非心明如镜，就不要回信。我宁愿因为没有你而死去，也不愿—— 你永远的 约翰·济慈 【约翰·济慈——】 Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all we know on earth, and all we need to know. 美就是真，真就是美，这是人生在世所知道的一切，也是需要知道的一切。 Robert Burns to Ellison Begbie 罗伯特·彭斯致埃莉森·贝格比 Mar.3, 1785 Dear Ellison, I have often thought it a peculiarly unlucky circumstance in love, that though in every other situation in life telling the truth is not only the safest, but actually by far the easiest way of proceeding, a lover is never under greater difficulty in acting, nor ever more puzzled for expression than when his passion is sincere and his intentions honorable. I do not think that it is very difficult for a person of ordinary capacity to talk of love and fondness which are not felt, and to make vows of constancy and fidelity which are never intended to be performed, if he be villain enough to practice such detestable conduct; but to a man whose heart glows with the principles of integrity and truth, and who sincerely loves a woman of amiable person, uncommon refinement of sentiment, and purity of manners, from my own feelings at this present moment, courtship is a task indeed. There is such a number of foreboding fears and distrustful anxieties crowd into my mind when I am in your company, or when I sit down to write to you, that what to speak or what to write I am altogether at a loss. There is one rule which I have hitherto practiced and which I shall invariably keep with you and that is, honestly to tell you the plain truth. There is something so mean and unmanly in the arts of dissimulation and falsehood that I am surprised they can be acted by any one in so noble, so generous a passion as virtuous love. No, my dear E., I shall never endeavor to gain your favor by such detestable practices. If you will be so good and so generous as to admit me for your partner, your companion, your bosom friend through life, there is nothing on this side of eternity shall give me greater transport, but I shall never think of purchasing your hand by any arts unworthy of a man—and, I will add—of a Christian. There is one thing, my dear, which I earnestly request of you and it is this, that you should soon either put an end to my hopes by a peremptory refusal or cure me of my fears by a generous consent. It would oblige me much if you would send me a line or two when convenient. I shall only add further that if a behavior regulated (though perhaps but very imperfectly) by the rules of honor and virtue of a heart devoted to love and esteem you, and an earnest endeavor to promote your happiness—if these are qualities you would wish in a friend, in a husband, I hope you shall ever find them in your real friend and sincere lover. 【名人小课堂】 罗伯特·彭斯（Robert Burns，1759—1796），苏格兰农民诗人，复兴了苏格兰民歌，并将其发展壮大；他的诗歌充满了激进的民主、自由的思想，在英国文学史上占有特殊重要的地位。代表作《两只狗》《一枝红红的玫瑰》《友谊天长地久》等。 亲爱的埃莉森： 我总是在想，尽管在生活的其他方面，实话实说是唯一可靠的办法，其实也是到目前为止最容易的方法，但在爱情里它却尤为不幸，你的爱人若在你面前演戏，简直易如反掌，更别说他那不轨的意图表面还披着一层看似善良的外衣。 我不认为让平庸之人虚情假意地谈论爱情和喜欢是件难事，要让他对你许下天长地久、忠贞不渝的空头诺言也不算难，只要他就是如此这般的混蛋；可是，对一个诚挚的男人来说，若是他爱上了一名温和的女子，一个多愁善感、行为端庄的女子，那么，此刻，追求她绝不是件容易的事。每当和你在一起，我的内心便充满了无数未知的恐惧和忧愁，每当我坐下来给你写信，我的脑海就全然的糊涂，不知该对你说些什么、写些什么。 我一直坚持着一个原则，并且要让它在你身上实现，那就是要对你坦诚相待。虚伪和谎言的手段太过卑鄙无耻，我竟没想到这些会被用在高尚而仁厚的贞洁爱情之中。不，我亲爱的埃莉森，我绝不会以如此可恶的方式博取你的爱意。若你大发慈悲接受了我，让我陪伴你，让我成为你一生的红颜知己，那么，此般永恒，将是我至上的狂喜，只是，我从未想过以小人之道赢得你的芳心——更何况，我还是一名高尚的基督徒。 只是有一点，亲爱的，我真心地请求你，要么断然拒绝我，结束我的希望；要么慨然接受我，抚平我的忧虑。 若你能在闲时回我以三言两语，我定感激不尽。我只想再补充一点，我带着美德和敬意来爱你，尊重你，而我的行为也受这充满美德和荣誉感的品德支配（也许没有完全支配）——如果这些都是你对朋友、丈夫所寄望的，那么，我希望总有一天，你会在你的朋友和忠实爱人身上找到这些优点。 1785年3月3日 【罗伯特·彭斯——】 But to see her was to love her, love but her, and love her forever. 谁见她就会爱她，谁爱她就会永远爱她。 那些旋律流淌的爱恋 To live in a world without you is more painful than any punishment. Do you know that no one can replace you in my heart? 生活在没有你的世界里，比任何一种惩罚都要痛苦万分。你知道吗？对我而言，你是任何人都无法取代的。 Beethoven to the “Innortal Beloved” (Ⅰ) 贝多芬致“永恒的爱人”（1） In the morning, July 6, 1812 My angel, my all, my very self—only a few words today and at that with your pencil—not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon—what an useless waste of time. Why this deep sorrow where necessity speaks—can our love endure except through sacrifices—except through not demanding everything—can you change it that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine. Oh, God! Look out into the beauties of nature and comfort yourself with that which must be—love demands everything and that very justly—that it is with me so far as you are concerned, and you with me. If we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I! Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other; moreover, I cannot communicate to you the observations I have made during the last few days touching my own life—if our hearts were always close together I would make none of the kind. My heart is full of many things to say to you—Ah!—there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all—cheer up—remain my true, only treasure, my all as I am yours; the gods must send us the rest that which shall be best fot us. Your faithful Ludwig 【名人小课堂】 路德维希·贝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven，1770—1827），德意志古典音乐作曲家、钢琴演奏家，维也纳古典乐派代表人之一。他一共创作了9首编号交响曲、35首钢琴奏鸣曲、16首弦乐四重奏、10部小提琴奏鸣曲、1部歌剧、2部弥撒等等。这些作品对音乐发展有着深远影响。在华文世界，贝多芬被尊称为“乐圣”。 我的天使，我的一切，我的真实自我——今天我只写下了只言片语，而且还是用你的铅笔——我的住处要明天才能落实——这样完全就是虚度光阴。在我们彼此需要时，为什么总要面对如此深刻的苦楚——我们的爱情，经历了牺牲以及那些无法求全的东西，还能坚持多久——你有办法改变这样的现实吗？你，不完全是我的；我，不完全是你的。 哦，天哪！看看外面美丽的大自然！
