论爱情(Of Love) 　　舞台上的爱情生活比生活中的爱情要美好得多。因为在舞台上，爱情只是喜剧和悲剧的素材，而在人生中，爱情却常常招来不幸。它有时象那位诱惑人的魔女(1)，有时又象那位复仇的女神(2)。 　　u a bserve, that angst all the great and rth persns (heref the er reaineth, either anient r reent) there is nt ne, that hath been transprted t the ad degree f lve: hih shs that great spirits, and great business, d eep ut this ea passin u ust exept, nevertheless, arus antnius, the half partner f the epire f re, and appius laudius, the deevir and lagiver; heref the frer as indeed a vluptuus an, and inrdinate; but the latter as an austere and ise an: and therefre it sees (thugh rarel) that lve an find entrane, nt nl int an pen heart, but als int a heart ell frtified, if ath be nt ell ept 　　你可以看到，一切真正伟大的人物(无论是古人、今人，只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的)，没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人。因为伟大的事业只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外(3)。前者本性就好色荒淫，然而后者却是严肃多谋的人。这说明爱情不仅会占领开旷坦阔的胸怀，有时也能闯入壁垒森严的心灵----假如手御不严的话。 　　it is a pr saing f epiurus, satis agnu alter alteri theatru suus; as if an, ade fr the nteplatin f heaven, and all nble bets, shuld d nthing but neel befre a little idl, and ae hiself a subet, thugh nt f the uth (as beasts are), et f the ee; hih as given hi fr higher purpses 　　埃辟克拉斯(4)曾说过一句笨话：人生不过是一座大戏台。似乎本应努力追求高尚事业的人类，却只应象玩偶般地逢场作戏。虽然爱情的奴隶并不同于那班只顾吃喝的禽兽，但毕竟也只是眼目色相的奴隶，而上帝赐人以眼睛本来是有更高尚的用途的。 　　it is a strange thing, t nte the exess f this passin, and h it braves the nature, and value f things, b this; that the speaing in a perpetual hperble, is el in nthing but in lve neither is it erel in the phrase; fr hereas it hath been ell said, that the arh-flatterer, ith h all the pett flatterers have intelligene, is a an’s self; ertainl the lver is re fr there as never prud an thught s absurdl ell f hiself, as the lver dth f the persn lved; and therefre it as ell said, that it is ipssible t lve, and t be ise neither dth this eaness appear t thers nl, and nt t the part lved; but t the lved st f all, exept the lve be reiprque fr it is a true rule, that lve is ever rearded, either ith the reiprque, r ith an inard and seret ntept 　　过度的爱情追求，必然会降低人本
