情人節將至 關於真愛的10個事實
True love is magical. True love is mystical?Right? Well, kind of. But it’s more than that, as anyone in a relationship can tell you. Read on to find ten things you need to know about true love.
真愛是神奇的。真愛是神祕的--對麼？只對了一部分。遠遠不止這些，任何陷入愛河裏的人們都可以給你答案。一起看看真愛的十個事實吧。
真愛不是迷失自己
Don’t fall in love, or think you’re in love, just because you want to find yourself. Your identity is not to be someone’s other half?it’s to be yourself! Don’t get so swept up in your partner that you become them. You don’t need to be the number one fan of their favorite band or read all the books they read. Keep your interests and hobbies and you’ll be more interesting to, and interested in, your partner.
不要因爲想找另一個自己就陷入，或認爲自己陷入愛河。你不是要做別人的另一半--而是要做你自己。不要一味迎合另一半把自己變得像他們那般。你不要是他們最愛樂隊的頭號粉絲，也不需要去讀他們讀過的所有書籍。保持自己的興趣愛好，你會對另一半更有興趣，自身也會更有吸引力。
想愛人，先愛自己
It sounds like a cliche, something your mom and girlfriends told you every time you were crying over a broken heart, but it’s true?you must love yourself before you can love anyone else. Be comfortable with yourself, even when you’re having a bad day. Know who you really are, deep down inside, and know what you want to do with your life. Being in love with yourself and having your life on track are not only incredibly self-satisfying, they’re really attractive qualities to a partner.
這聽起來有點老生常談，每次分手媽媽或閨蜜們都會這麼告訴你，但這的確是真的-你必須先愛別人才能知道愛自己。讓自己快樂開心，哪怕今天過得很遭。知道自己的真實面目，發掘內心，看看你到底想幹些什麼。愛上自己，快樂的生活，這不僅會讓你十分幸福，還能真的吸引到另一半的關注哦。
真愛不是索取
Your partner should never ask you to change if you’re truly loved. And if you truly love your partner, you shouldn’t expect him to change. You got into a relationship because you liked each other, and you grew to love each other as you are. Why would you need to change someone you love so deeply? Accept them as they are, and you’ll get that consideration in return.
如果真的愛你，他絕對不會要求你去改變。如果你真的愛他，也不應該希望他去改變。你們能在一起是因爲互相喜歡，正因爲你是你，雙方纔會愛上。爲什麼要改變你深愛的人呢？接受他們，同樣的，他們也不會再去要求你改變。
真愛就是做你自己
Being yourself in front of your partner can seem scary at first. Waking up without any makeup on, and your hair a mess? What about him seeing you when you’re sick?runny nose, bloodshot eyes and all. It’s something you want to avoid as long as you can. But you shouldn’t feel that way. When you’re in love, even the worst illness is a beautiful experience because it’s worth it. Your partner helping you through a messy episode or kissing you with morning breath is a major step towards your future, and it shows how much he truly loves you.
剛開始在另一半面前做自己好像有點恐怖。頭髮亂糟糟沒有化妝就起牀？他要是看到你感冒的紅鼻子，充滿血絲的眼睛會有何感想？這些都是你想盡可能避免的情況。但其實不能那樣想。在一起時，即使生病也是美好的體驗，絕對值得。他幫你度過亂糟糟的清晨，或是牙也不刷就吻你，本身就是好的預兆，也能表現出他到底有多愛你。
真愛都是自然而然來的
Do you have doubts about your partner? Are you not sure they’re right for you? If you’re asking yourself too many questions about your partner, your relationship, and your future together, then you’re probably not in love. When you’re truly in love, you don’t question anything. It feels natural to be with your partner, and you know you can work through anything to achieve that future you’re dreaming of.
你對另一半有疑問麼？是不是不確定到底他們是不是那個對的人？如果你總是對另一半，這段關係或者你們的未來有這些疑問，那麼有可能你不愛他。真正愛的時候，你不會懷疑任何事情。好像跟他在一起是如此自然，你知道和他在一起能迎來一直夢想的那個未來。
想獲得愛，先施與愛
You can’t be in a loving relationship if you hold back. You can’t use love as a bargaining chip. Don’t tell your partner you love him only when he does something good around the house. Don’t give him the cold shoulder if he makes a mistake. You have to love him all the time, regardless of his words or actions, because true love is unconditional. If you give your partner this much love, you’ll get it?and more!?in return.
吝嗇的人是無法開展一段關係的。你不能把愛當成是討價還價的籌碼。不要跟他說除非他做了什麼事你纔會愛他。不要在他犯錯時冷眼相待。你要一如既往的愛他，不管他說了什麼做了什麼，真愛是無條件的。如果你對他付出了這些，那麼你肯定會得到更多作爲回報。
真愛基於友誼
So many TV show relationships are based on friends who fall in love over time. It’s a great premise, and a nice daydream, but life isn’t TV. You don’t need to be best friends with your partner since kindergarten for love to last. But you need to be friends with your partner. You need to be able to talk, to share jokes, and to enjoy each others’ company. Over time, the physical passion may fade, but true friendship will last forever.
很多電視劇裏愛情都是從朋友間產生的。這個起點很好，美好的白日夢，畢竟生活不是電視劇。你不需要和他從幼兒園就是好朋友再一路走下去直到相愛。但你的確需要跟另一半成爲朋友。你需要時刻和他交談，分享笑話，享受對方的陪伴。很多時候，身體激情也許會消退，但真正的友誼永流傳。
真愛持續久
Think back to those casual relationships where your significant other wiping his nose on your bath towel was enough to end it. Those relationships are immature, and whatever you thought you experienced wasn’t love. When you’re truly in love, problems like this are just small bumps in the road. No problem seems insurmountable. You’re more than willing to work through anything, just to stay together.
想想那些因爲用你洗澡毛巾擦臉就草草結束的戀愛吧。這些都是不成熟的，你的想法和經歷都不叫愛情。當真正愛的時候，這些困難都只是小事而已。似乎沒有什麼困難不可逾越。你更樂意兩個人一起，戰勝一切。
真愛是堅定的
It’s human nature to be attracted to other people, to allow your head to be turned by an attractive passerby. Don’t let this make you feel guilty. As long as you’re committed to your partner, your relationship is fine. When you’re truly in love, you don’t want to be with anyone else. You can’t imagine spending your time without your sweetheart.
被其他人吸引是人的本性。要允許自己爲美麗的路人扭個頭看一眼。不用爲此感到負罪。只要你對另一半是堅定地，這段感情就很堅定。真愛的時候，你不會想和其他人在一起。你無法忍受那些沒有他的時光。
你纔是生活裏的真愛
Don’t forget that you need to love yourself. Self love is important, but it’s not something you should achieve and then throw away once you’re with your partner. You must stay in love with yourself for your entire life. If you start to dislike yourself or what you’re doing, you need to change just enough to stay on track, to stay true to yourself, and to stay in love with yourself.
別忘了你也需要愛自己。自愛十分重要，哪怕有了另一半也不能忘記好好愛自己。你必須一生與自己相愛。如果你開始討厭自己或是自己做的事情，你需要改變一下步入正軌，對自己坦白，也要與自己相愛。
