为你读英语美文·第548期博尔赫斯 You Learn《领悟》·永清主播：永清录制地点：云南You Learn《领悟》作者：Jorge Luis Borges，翻译：永清After a while you learn the subtle differenceBetween holding a hand and chaining a soul,And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaningAnd company doesn’t mean security.终于，你领悟了，牵着一只手与囚禁一个灵魂之间，有着微妙的区别；你明白了，爱并非依附，陪伴也不代表安稳。And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contractsAnd presents aren’t promises,And you begin to accept your defeatsWith your head up and your eyes openWith the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.你开始懂得，亲吻不是契约，赠礼亦非承诺。于是你昂起头，睁开眼，用一个大人的优雅，而不是一个孩子的忧伤，去面对失败。And you learn to build all your roads on todayBecause tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plansAnd futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.你领悟到将道路铺设在当下，因为明天的土地过于虚幻，未来的飞翔总有坠落的风险。After a while you learn…That even sunshine burns if you get too much.So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.终于，你明白了——哪怕是阳光，过多也会灼伤。于是你开始播种自己的花园，装点自己的灵魂，而不再等待他人送来花束。And you learn that you really can endure…That you really are strongAnd you really do have worth…你明白了，你可以承受苦难，你坚韧不拔，你有自己的价值。And you learn and learn…With every good-bye you learn.你不断领悟，在每一次别离中，得到了更多真谛。后期制作：永清文章，音乐，图片非商业用途，版权归作者或版权方所有我们生活在世界各地，从事不同职业，和你分享我们喜欢的美文。我们的公众号是：“为你读英语美文”。
