參考譯文
愛,很好。因為愛是艱難的。當一個人去愛另一個人,這也許是神給予我們的最艱難、最重大的任務,是最后的考驗與測試,是最崇高的工作,別的工作都不過是為此而做的準備。所以那些一切都還剛剛開始的青年們還不能去愛,他們必須要學習。必須用他們整個的生命,用一切的力量,用集聚了他們寂寞、痛苦和榮譽感的心去學習愛。在學習時期這個長久而專注的過程中,愛就會永遠地銘刻心扉——深深的寂寞中孤獨地等待,是為了所愛的人。愛的要義并不是什么傾心、獻身,或二人的結(jié)合(那會是怎樣的一種結(jié)合呢?是一種糊涂的、不負責任的、輕率的結(jié)合)。它對于個人是一種崇高的動力,是去成熟并實現(xiàn)自身的圓滿,去完成一個世界,是為了另一個人而完成一個自己的世界,這是一個艱巨的、不可妥協(xié)的目標,用堅定的信念,向遠方召喚。青年們應把愛當做他們的課業(yè)、他們工作的意義,并在其中(“晝夜不停地探索、錘煉”)使用那些給予他們的愛。至于傾心、獻身以及結(jié)合,還不是他們所能做的(他們還需長時間地克制、積累),那是最后的終點,也許是我們現(xiàn)在還幾乎不能達到的境界。
