How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
我是多么爱你？让我细细数来。
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
当感受超出视线可及的
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
存在与美好的极致时，
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
我的灵魂才能达到我爱你的深度、广度与高度。
I love thee to the level of everyday's
我爱你的程度达到日夜不可或缺，
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
就像太阳与烛光。
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
我慷慨的爱你，就像人类为正义而战；
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
我纯洁的爱你，就像人们在躲避称赞。
I love thee with the passion put to use
我爱你用尽所有激情，
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
我用尽如暮年悲恸或童年信仰一般的情感来爱你。
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
我用我那
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath,
仿佛与我迷失的圣徒一起遗失的爱去爱你--我与我一生的呼吸
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
微笑和眼泪一起爱着你！--还有，如果上帝让选择的话，
I shall but love thee better after death.
我死后应会更加爱你。
