关于爱情的英语演讲稿
演讲稿
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
参考译文
如果我说方言的男人和天使的话语,却没有爱,我就成了鸣的锣,响的钹一般。如果我有预言的礼物、能够洞悉所有的秘密和知识,如果我有一个信仰,可以移山,却没有爱,我什么都没有。如果我给穷人和放弃所有我拥有我的身体的火焰,却没有爱,我一无所获。
爱是耐心,爱是善良的。爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不骄傲。它不是粗鲁的,它不是只顾自己,不轻易发怒,不计较人的恶。
爱不喜欢不义的真相。它总是保护,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。
爱是永不止息。但是哪里有预言,他们将停止;哪里有舌头,他们将被压抑了,哪里有知识,它都会过去。我们知道在某种程度上,我们预言的部分,但是当完美,不完美的消失。当我还是个孩子的时候,话语像孩子,心思像孩子,意念像孩子。当我成为一个男人,我把孩子的事丢弃了。现在我们看到,但可怜的反射就像一面镜子,然后我们将看到面对面。现在我知道在某种程度上,到那时就全知道,如同主知道我一样。现在,这三个依然存在:信仰、希望和爱。其中最大的是爱。
这伤害了爱一个人,而不是被爱作为回报。但更痛苦的是爱一个人却没有勇气让那人知道你的感受。
