What does falling in love feel like?

墜入愛河是什么感覺

評(píng)論翻譯

Riddhima Gupta
This is real, this is me
"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

以下所說(shuō)的都是真的，說(shuō)的就是我自己的感受。
“我真的相信，在你的一生中，有且只有一次，你能找到一個(gè)能徹底改變你的世界的人。你會(huì)告訴他一些之前從未與另一個(gè)靈魂分享過(guò)的事情，他會(huì)吸收你所說(shuō)的一切，并希望聽到更多。你們對(duì)未來(lái)抱有希望，夢(mèng)想永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)，目標(biāo)也一直未實(shí)現(xiàn)，生活給你們帶來(lái)許多失望。當(dāng)一些美妙的事情發(fā)生時(shí)，你迫不及待地想告訴他，你知道他會(huì)分享你的喜悅。當(dāng)你受傷的時(shí)候，他不會(huì)羞于和你一起哭泣；當(dāng)你出丑的時(shí)候，他也不會(huì)和你一起尷尬地笑。他永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)傷害你的感情，或者讓你覺得自己不夠好，相反他會(huì)讓你振作起來(lái)，讓你看到能夠使你與眾不同甚至美麗的東西。當(dāng)他在身邊時(shí)，你們之間從來(lái)沒有任何壓力，嫉妒或競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，只有平靜。你可以做你自己，不必?fù)?dān)心他會(huì)怎么看你，因?yàn)樗湍阒g充滿愛，對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)微不足道的東西，比如一張紙條、一首歌、一次散步，都會(huì)成為珍貴的寶藏，永遠(yuǎn)珍藏在你心中。你童年的記憶又回來(lái)了，清晰而生動(dòng)，就像又回到了年輕時(shí)代。顏色看起來(lái)更明亮，更鮮艷。笑聲似乎是日常生活的一部分，在此之前笑聲很少或根本不存在。一天中打一兩個(gè)電話可以幫助你度過(guò)一天漫長(zhǎng)的工作，并且總能讓你面帶微笑。在他的陪伴下，沒有必要進(jìn)行持續(xù)的交談，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)只要有他在身邊你就很滿足了。以前你不感興趣的事情開始變得迷人，因?yàn)槟阒浪鼈儗?duì)他很重要。你在任何場(chǎng)合和你做的每件事上都會(huì)想到這個(gè)人。簡(jiǎn)單的事情會(huì)人想起淡藍(lán)色的天空，輕柔的風(fēng)，甚至是地平線上的暴風(fēng)云。你敞開心扉，知道有一天它可能會(huì)破碎，在敞開心扉的過(guò)程中，你會(huì)體驗(yàn)到一種你做夢(mèng)都想不到的愛和喜悅。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，脆弱是讓你的心感受到真正快樂的唯一途徑，這種快樂是如此真實(shí)以至于讓你害怕。當(dāng)你知道你有一個(gè)真正的朋友，或者可能是一個(gè)終其一生的靈魂伴侶，你就會(huì)得到力量。生活似乎完全不同，令人興奮。你唯一的希望和安全感在于知道他是你生活的一部分?！?br>Megan Laudenslager, studies Nursing at Alvernia University (2022) 在阿爾韋尼亞大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)護(hù)理（2022年）

All this time I had no clue that he might have feelings for me back. He was really sweet to every girl, so I thought I was no different.
Fast forward until after Winter Break. I finally mustered up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. At the same time, my friendship was really starting to blossom with this guy. It turned out that he actually had feelings for me as well, but we continued to be friends because I had just gotten out of my relationship.

一直以來(lái)我都不知道他會(huì)不會(huì)對(duì)我有感情。他對(duì)每個(gè)女孩都很好，所以我覺得我也一樣。
快進(jìn)到寒假過(guò)后。我終于鼓起勇氣和男朋友分手了。同時(shí)，我和這個(gè)人的友誼也開始發(fā)展。事實(shí)證明，他對(duì)我也有感情，但我們?nèi)匀皇桥笥?，因?yàn)槲覄倓倲[脫了戀愛關(guān)系。

Let me share my story..I used to run away from love..I used to despise people who were in love..I used to sulk from within seeing couples holding hands in public yet I wished I could do the same..and then suddenly this girl comes to our flat where 4 of us guys used to stay..she was a friend of my roommate..that night we partied..we had fun..we danced and sang..we drank and smoked. .by midnight we were all exhausted. .all of us went to sleep..but I couldnt sleep..I kept tossing in my bed..and then she comes out and sits in the alleyway alone oblivious to the fact that I was there..she just sat there..lost in her thoughts. .I wondered why..but I didn't say a word..I went upto her and sat next to her..for the next three hours we sat beside each other without exchanging a single word..the silence gave us comfort. .to both of us..we just sat there giving each other company...both of us had troubled pasts..dark pasts..things which we couldnt forget yet could never share to anyone. .last week we celebrated our first anniversary of being in love, of being together..ours was a long distance relationship. .we made it work..we fought, we shouted at each other, we loved each other..yet we stayed together. .the distance made our love stronger. .made us realise its importance. .taught us the lesson that love transcends all barriers and keeps burning in your heart if you want it to.. all you need is a sincere effort...

我分享下我的故事，我曾經(jīng)逃避愛情，我曾經(jīng)鄙視戀愛中的人，我曾經(jīng)因?yàn)榭吹角閭H們?cè)诠矆?chǎng)合牽手而生悶氣，但我希望我也能做同樣的事情。然后一個(gè)女孩突然來(lái)到我們的公寓，我們四個(gè)人曾經(jīng)住在那里。她是我室友的朋友，那天晚上我們聚會(huì)，唱歌跳舞，抽煙喝酒，玩得很開心。到了午夜，我們都筋疲力盡了，都睡著了，但我睡不著，一直在床上輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)。突然發(fā)現(xiàn)她出來(lái)獨(dú)自坐在走廊里，完全不知道我也在那里。她只是坐在那里，沉浸在她的思緒中。我想知道為什么，但我一句話也沒說(shuō)，我走到她身邊，坐在她旁邊。接下來(lái)的三個(gè)小時(shí)里，我們坐在一起，一句話也沒說(shuō)，沉默給了我們安慰。對(duì)我們倆來(lái)說(shuō)，我們只是坐在那里互相陪伴，我們都有過(guò)不愉快、黑暗的過(guò)去，都有那些我們無(wú)法忘記卻永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法分享給任何人的事情。上周我們慶祝了我們相愛一周年，我們是異地戀。我們深愛過(guò)，我們爭(zhēng)吵過(guò)，我們互相喊叫過(guò)，我們彼此相愛，一直在一起。距離讓我們的愛更加強(qiáng)烈，讓我們意識(shí)到它的重要性，教會(huì)我們愛可以超越一切障礙，只要你愿意，它會(huì)在你的心中一直燃燒。你需要的只是真誠(chéng)的努力。

There are many types of love, there are also a few types of being/falling in love. There's an Italian saying (according to a couple of films) about having 3 great loves in your life. There's the "lightning bolt" where from the moment you first see that person you know.....and that feeling is reciprocated. In my case that was eyes meeting from across a nightclub dance floor and the next second we were glued to each other. This is also known as " the love that looks right" and usually happens early in life, the fairytale romantic love. There's another feeling very similar to the lightning bolt where you just know but the other person doesn't appear to reciprocate so you go through some kind of elaborate mating ritual that ends in success. This kind of relationship doesn't often last , especially if your partner is just not that into you. This can also be called "the love you wished was right". It's usually associated with the rollercoaster of passion, great when it's good, awful when it isn't. With this kind of love, trying to make it work becomes more important than whether it actually should. You can fall in love with someone when the more you get to know them, the more in love you become. This can often be how friendships turn into romance. It's often called "the love that just feels right". It's not planned for and often not expected. You just seem to fit. there aren’t any ideal expectations about how each person should be acting, nor is there pressure to become someone other than we are. We are just simply accepted for who we are already—and it shakes to our core. This is the love that keeps knocking on our door regardless of how long it takes us to answer. You suddenly wake up one day realising you're in love. Eventually all loves transition from being in love into loving. Sometimes you grow and develop together, sometimes you end up growing apart (nobody's fault). Sometimes I wonder if monogamous relationships are mostly doomed (or at least fail more often than they succeed) because of the unreal expectations we put on our partners. Who really can have it all? For me, a partner, a good mother for my children, confidante and sex goddess is too much to put on one persons shoulders. But back to the original question, falling in love is usually exquisite and painful simultaneously.

愛有多種類型，墜入愛河的方式同樣如此。意大利有句俗語(yǔ)（根據(jù)幾部電影）講的是在你的一生中有三種偉大的愛。從第一次見到的那一刻起，你就有“閃電”般的感覺，并且這種感覺是相互的。我這有個(gè)例子，那是在夜總會(huì)舞池，我和對(duì)面的眼神突然相遇，下一秒我們就彼此粘在了一起。這也被稱為“看起來(lái)是正確的愛情”，并且通常是發(fā)生在人生早期的童話般的浪漫愛情。還有一種感覺和閃電非常相似，但對(duì)方似乎沒有回應(yīng)，所以你要精心設(shè)計(jì)一次偶遇，最后以成功告終。這種關(guān)系通常不會(huì)持久，尤其是當(dāng)你的伴侶對(duì)你不那么感興趣的時(shí)候。這也可以稱為“希望是正確的愛情”。它通常與激情的過(guò)山車聯(lián)系在一起，好的時(shí)候很好，不好的時(shí)候很糟糕。在這種愛情里，努力讓它發(fā)揮作用比它是否真的應(yīng)該存在更重要。當(dāng)你越了解一個(gè)人，你就越能愛上他。這往往是友誼變成愛情的方式。它常被稱為“感覺上是正確的愛情”。這不是計(jì)劃好的，通常也沒有預(yù)料到。只是似乎適合你。對(duì)于每個(gè)人應(yīng)該如何表現(xiàn)，沒有任何理想的期望，也沒有改變自我的壓力。我們只是簡(jiǎn)單的接受我們已經(jīng)是誰(shuí)，它動(dòng)搖了我們的核心。這就是愛，它不停地敲著我們的門，不管我們需要多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間去回應(yīng)。直到有一天你突然醒來(lái)意識(shí)到你戀愛了。最終，所有的愛都會(huì)從戀愛轉(zhuǎn)變成愛。也許你們會(huì)一起成長(zhǎng)和發(fā)展，也許你們最終會(huì)分開（不是任何人的錯(cuò)）。有時(shí)我想知道，一夫一妻制的關(guān)系是否注定要失敗（或者至少失敗的次數(shù)多于成功的次數(shù)），因?yàn)槲覀儗?duì)伴侶寄予了不切實(shí)際的期望。誰(shuí)真的能擁有一切？對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，一個(gè)好伴侶不可能同時(shí)是一個(gè)孩子的好母親，紅顏知己和性愛女神。但回到最初的問題，墜入愛河通常是既精致又痛苦的。
James Zhu, Always feel hungry 總是覺得餓

Secret love is no different from any other love. But it seems it has been neglected here. So I am going to give a perspective of secret love.
This is the only experience of mine by far to feel what love is.Though it was a long time ago, everytime I recall it, it feels so sweet that I can't believe she has been away from my life for years. Though I had never got up the courage to confess my love to her and she probably just took me as a ordinary friend all the time, still I am always grateful to her for making me know what love feels like.

暗戀和其他愛情沒有什么不同。但它似乎被忽視了。所以我要提供一個(gè)關(guān)于暗戀的觀點(diǎn)。
這是我迄今為止唯一能感受到愛是什么的經(jīng)歷。盡管那是很久以前的事，但每次我回想起來(lái)，它都是如此的甜蜜，以至于我不敢相信她已經(jīng)離開我的生活很多年了。雖然我從未鼓起勇氣向她表白我的愛，她可能一直把我當(dāng)成普通朋友而已，但我始終感激她讓我知道了愛的滋味。

1.Before meeting her, you never believed people would fall in love at first sight. You think it is nothing but a stupid theory.How could one love the other without knowing what kind of background she comes from and what kind of personality she has. It's too shallow to love someone just because of her looks. But the moment you see her, you start to believe that kind of thing really exists. You can't tell exactly how, but some traits of her just attract you in a mysteious way.

在遇見她之前，從不相信會(huì)存在一見鐘情。認(rèn)為這只是個(gè)愚蠢的理論。一個(gè)人怎么能在不知道背景以及擁有什么樣個(gè)性的情況下愛上另一個(gè)人呢。僅僅因?yàn)橥獗矶鴲凵弦粋€(gè)人太膚淺了吧。但一見到她，就開始相信那種事真的存在。無(wú)法不能確切地說(shuō)是怎么回事，但她的一些特質(zhì)卻以一種神秘的方式吸引著你。

2. You want to get her attention,but you feel she is way out of your league, so you just watch her in distance.
You start to know more about her, what songs she loves to listen to, what's her favourite book. You have to be well-disguised so that no one else would notice. You are pretty much aware that you are putting yourself at risk, but you don't care. Every information of her means so much to you that you want find out everthing in common between you. And the more you know about her, the more you are sure she is the one.

你想引起她的注意，但你覺得她與你格格不入，所以你就遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地看著她。
你開始了解她，她喜歡聽什么歌，最喜歡的書是什么。你必須偽裝得很好，這樣別人就不會(huì)注意到你了。你很清楚自己在冒險(xiǎn)，但你不在乎。她的每一個(gè)信息對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)都很重要，你想找出你之間的共同點(diǎn)。你對(duì)她的了解越多，你就越確信她就是那個(gè)人。

3.You casually mention her name in front of your friend to see what their impression is on her. When they say good words about her, you are wild with joy. For a moment, you want to share with them. But on second thought, you hold it back.You don't want to give it away before telling her in person.

你在朋友面前隨便提一下她的名字，看看他們對(duì)她的印象如何。當(dāng)他們說(shuō)她好話時(shí)，你欣喜若狂。有那一瞬間，你想和他們分享。但轉(zhuǎn)念一想，你忍住了。你不想在當(dāng)面告訴她之前就泄露出去。

4.Whenever you see she talking to other guys, you feel you heart is broken, and you world is shattered. You are not in mood for anything. You spend the whole class thinking about what they were talking and what kind of relationship they might have. When it turns out not the way you thought it was, you feel your world is filled with light again.

每當(dāng)你看到她和其他男生說(shuō)話，你會(huì)覺得你的心碎了，你的世界破碎了。你做什么都沒心情。你整節(jié)課都在想他們?cè)谡f(shuō)什么，他們可能會(huì)有什么樣的關(guān)系。當(dāng)結(jié)果不是你想象的那樣，你會(huì)覺得你的世界又充滿了光明。

5.When your teacher arrange you to sit behind her(It's kinda a unique culture in my country), you think here comes the chance. At first, you are too shy to start a conversation with her, but you never expected she would talk to you first. You suppress your excitement and try to talk with a normal tone while you are ecstatic deep in heart.

當(dāng)你的老師安排你坐在她身后（這在我國(guó)是一種獨(dú)特的文化），你認(rèn)為機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)了。一開始，你很害羞，不敢和她交談，但你沒想到她會(huì)先跟你說(shuō)話。當(dāng)你在內(nèi)心深處狂喜的時(shí)候，只能抑制住自己的興奮，試著用正常的語(yǔ)調(diào)說(shuō)話。

6.You try your best to satisy every need of her. You don't want to disappoint her in any way. You want every words you say up to be perfect, but you don't realize it is a bit wierd and funny to her. When you see her smile, you think it must because you did a good job.

你盡力滿足她的每一個(gè)需要。你無(wú)論如何都不想讓她失望。你希望你說(shuō)的每一句話都是完美的，但你沒有意識(shí)到這對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)有點(diǎn)奇怪和有趣。當(dāng)你看到她的微笑時(shí)，你認(rèn)為一定是因?yàn)槟阕龅煤芎谩?/p>

7. As time goes by, you and she becomes more and more close. You can even make jokes about each other now and then. You cautiously express you love in the hope that she might get it. But you don't want it seems too obvious, because you are afraid it might mean nothing to her.

隨著時(shí)間的流逝，你和她越來(lái)越親近。你甚至可以時(shí)不時(shí)地拿對(duì)方開玩笑。你小心翼翼地表達(dá)你的愛，希望她能感受到。但你不想讓它看起來(lái)太明顯，因?yàn)槟愫ε逻@對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)毫無(wú)意義。

8. In a blx of an eye, you are about to graduate. You know you probably wouldn't see her again in your whole life. After days of hesititation, you decide not to tell her. Some words may just remain unsaid.

轉(zhuǎn)眼間，你就要畢業(yè)了。你知道你可能一輩子都見不到她了。猶豫了幾天之后，你決定不告訴她。有些話可能就是不必說(shuō)出口。

9.After that day, you think of her occasionally. You think to yourself that would it make a difference if you told her that day?

那天過(guò)后，你偶爾會(huì)想起她。你問自己，如果那天告訴她，會(huì)有什么不同嗎？

Thank this question for bringing back the old sweet memories.

感謝這個(gè)問題讓我想起了過(guò)去美好的回憶。
