何為愛情的真諦?亙古不變的話題。是天若有情天亦老嗎?是除卻巫山不是云嗎?是錦瑟無端五十弦嗎?是才下眉頭，卻上心頭嗎?是執(zhí)子之手，與子偕老嗎?有些人用畢生的年華，體味到了，那是幸運(yùn)的。每個(gè)人心中都有個(gè)哈姆雷特，你心中的是怎樣的呢? Some say that love’s a little boy,

有人說愛情是個(gè)小男孩，

And some say it’s a bird,

也有人說像只小鳥;

Some say it makes the world go round,

有人說它令世界運(yùn)行，

And some say it makes that’s absurd,

也有人說那是荒謬。

And when I asked the man next-door,

當(dāng)我去詢問鄰居的男子，

Who looked as if he knew,

他仿佛對(duì)愛情了然，

His wife got very cross indeed,

And said it wouldn’t do.

When it comes, will it come without warning

愛情的來臨是否悄無預(yù)告，

Just as I’m picking my nose?

像我挖鼻子那樣嗎?

Will its knock on my door in he morning,

它是否會(huì)在早晨敲響我的門，

Or tread in he bus on my toes?
