14、tion（慈爱）： It includes both Need-love and Gift love. It is the humblest and most widely diffused of loves , the love in which our experience seems to differ least from that of the animals. Affection , especially of parents to offspring , but also of offspring to parents , and that is the original for

15、m of the thing as well as the central meaning of the word. And he thought almost anyone can become an object of Affection , the ugly ,the stupid ,even the exasperating . But Affection has its own criteria（标准） . Its objects have to be familiar . Affection , besides being a love itself , can enter int

16、o the other loves and colour them all through and become the very medium in which from day to day they operate.它包括需求之爱和给予之爱。它是最谦卑、传播最广泛地爱，在这种爱中，我们的体验似乎与动物的体验差异最小。慈爱，尤其是父母对孩子的爱，并且也包括孩子对父母的爱。而且，这是慈爱的最初形式，也是这个词的核心意义。几乎所有人都能成为慈爱的对象：丑陋的、愚蠢的、甚至是令人恼火的人。但是慈爱有自己的标准，它的对象必须是自己所熟悉的。慈爱除了本身是一种爱外，还能渗透到其他的爱中，浸染它们，从

17、而成了其他的爱每天发挥作用的媒介。8About Friendship（友爱）： To the ancients , Friendship seemed the happiest and most fully human of all loves , it is the crown of life and the school of virtue . The modern world , in comparison , ignore it. Without Eros none of us would have been begotten（产生） and without Affection non

18、e of us would have been reared , but we can live and breed （繁衍）without Friendship. The co-existence of Friendship and Eros may also help some moderns to realize that Friendship is in reality a love , and even as great a love as Eros . A friend will , to be sure , prove himself to be also an ally（盟友）

19、 when alliance becomes necessary ; will lend or give when we are in need ,nurse us in sickness , stand up for us among our enemies , do what he can for our widows （遗孀）and orphans（孤儿）对古代人来说，友爱似乎是所有的爱中最幸福又最具人性的；它是生命的皇冠，是美德的学校。相比之下，现代社会却忽视了它。没有情爱，就不会有人出生；没有慈爱，就不会有人被抚养长大，但没有友爱，我们照样可以生活和繁衍后代。可以肯定的是，当需要同盟

20、时，朋友将会证明自己也是盟友。当我们贫困时，朋友就会接济我们；当我们生病时，他们照料我们；当面临敌人时，他们站在我们一边；朋友会尽全力来照顾我们的遗孀和孤儿。9About Eros(情爱）： To the evolutionist（进化论者） Eros(the human variation 变异)will be something that grows out of Venus , a late complication and development of the immemorial （远古的）biological impulse. And the thing is serious .

21、First , theologically , because this is the bodys share ,is the marriage which , by Gods choice ,is the mystical image of the union between God and Man . Secondly , it is a sub-Christian , or Pagan（异教徒的） or natural sacrament（圣事） , our human participation in , and exposition of, the natural forces of

22、 life and fertility-the marriage of Sky-Father and Earth-Mother. Thus Eros ,like the other loves , but more strikingly because of his strength , sweetness , terror and high port , reveals his true status. 对进化论者来说，情爱（人类的变异）是从性欲发展而来的，是古老的生物性冲动后期复杂化和发展的产物。但是，它是严肃的，第一，从神学上讲，因为情爱是肉体对婚姻的参与。通过上帝的选择而发生的婚姻，是上帝和人之间结合的神秘象征。第二，情爱是我们大胆地称之为次基督教的、异教徒的、或自然的圣事，是我们人类参与和展示出的生命力和能产性-天父与地母之间的联姻。10About Charity（仁爱）： That such a Gift-love comes by Grace（恩典） and should be called Charity , everyone will agree. In reality we all need at times ,some of us at most times , that Charity from others which , being Love
