几个世纪以来，这些优美的诗行一直被世人传颂... 我们精选了公元前11世纪至18世纪以来的爱情佳句，希望您能喜欢。
Convey the immortal emotions through poetical numbers. -- As a lily among brambles
so is my love among maidens.
As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among young men.
from "the Song of Solomon" in Bible (tenth century B.C.)
我的佳偶在女子中，好像百合花在荆棘内。（夫语）
我的良人在男子中，如同苹果树在树林中。（妇语）
"所罗门的歌"是《圣经》中的雅歌，搜集于民间。"妻子在丈夫心间如百合般高贵，丈夫在妻子眼中如苹果数般充满青春朝气"。在中国古代诗句中，对女性具体的意象描写首推《诗经》中 "硕人"Her fingers were like the blades of the young white-grass；Her skin was like congealed ointment；Her neck was like the tree-grub；Her teeth were like melon seeds（手如柔荑，肤如凝脂，领如蝤蛴qiu qi，齿如瓠犀hu xi），可惜此语非出自丈夫之口。
-- Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
from Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
或许我可用夏日将你作比方，
但你比夏日更可爱也更温良。
在中国，若将爱人比做"夏日"，恐怕也只有云南男子才敢借用。但对多雨雾天气的英国来说，"心爱之人如同夏日般令人惬意"，实在是再贴切不过的比喻了，因为那里温暖而不炎热，是一年中最宜人的季节。
Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
And I'll not look for wine.
from Song to Celia by Ben Jonson (1573-1637)
"诗人祈求情人只用目光向他祝酒，他也会回报脉脉含情的目光"。真情无需借助累赘的话语，因为眉目足以传情。情人在杯中留下一吻，胜过美酒千杯。作者本·琼森与莎士比亚同时代，这首《致西莉亚》是一首脍炙人口的抒情诗。以间接委婉的笔法描绘了情人的眉目顾盼和醉人的吻。
With thee conversing I forget all time,
All seasons and their change, all please alike.
from Paradise Lost (Eve is speaking to Adam here) by John Milton (1608-1674)
"与亚当说话，能让夏娃忘记时间、季节轮转与变化"，或许，撇开诗人的视角，在常人眼中，人世间最纯朴的爱情表白就是这句了。弥尔顿的《失乐园》是英国文学史上最伟大的一部史诗，常运用大量典故和比喻。幸亏描述爱情的这句简洁明了，否则我们还要望洋兴叹呢。
-- O, my Luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my Luve is like the melodie,
That's sweetly played in tune.
from A Red, Red Rose 不要by Robert Burns (1759-1796)
在爱情诗句里，彭斯的这首《一朵红红的玫瑰》总能赢得一席之位，虽然它没有华丽的词藻也缺乏绮丽意象。在诗人眼中，"爱人就是六月初绽的玫瑰，火红斗妍；又是一支奏起的曲子，美丽悠扬"。
-- Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle:-
Why not I with thine?
from Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
在雪莱这首《爱的哲学》里，诗人站在哲人的角度给恋人说理，向其展开求爱攻势。"由于神圣的自然法规，世间万物从不孤零零存在，他们都必然容于一体，为什么你我却要例外？"
-- How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach . . .
from Sonnets from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
"我是怎样的爱你，请让我细数端详。我爱你爱到心灵深处，之深之广只有灵魂才能触摸"，其排比一泻千里，似有不可遏制之势。布朗宁在《葡萄牙十四行诗》中的炽烈情感、直露表白，总能让人联想到《上邪》中那个对爱无所顾忌的女子："上邪！我欲与君相知，长命无绝衰！山无棱，江水为竭，冬雷震震，夏雨雪，天地合；乃敢与君绝！" 言语夸张却无造作之嫌，感情细腻却又大气磅礴。或许，只有女子才敢留下这种大手笔，也只有女子写下的这种绝世之爱才能被世人接受和理解。
-- Ah love is bitter and sweet,
but which is more sweet
the bitterness or the sweetness,
none has spoken it.
from Eros by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961)
与布朗宁相比，另一位女诗人H·杜利特尔则以简洁明了的风格道出了"爱"的真谛。"爱情有甜蜜也有苦涩，但甜蜜更多一些；爱情究竟是甜蜜还是苦涩？却无人道得出"。
情人节经典情话不仅仅是甜言蜜语，爱有时更需要及时的反思。简短的话语、真诚的表白，或许，能帮助渴望真爱的你悟出爱的秘密所在……
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我爱你不是因为你，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
Love is a naked child: do you think he has pockets for money?
爱需要有赤子情怀，赤子哪有口袋装钱呢？
If someone doesn't love you the way you want him to, it doesn't mean that he does not love you with all he has.
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不意味着他没有全心全意地爱你。
Love is not just gazing at each other, but looking forward in the same direction.
爱不仅仅是彼此凝望，爱更要志同道合望向同一方向。
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry. 没有人值得你为他流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
Dont' spend time with someone who doesn't care spending it with you.
不要把时间花在一个不在乎与你分享的人身上。
Love is a chord in life, not a solo.
爱是人生的和弦，不是孤单的独奏曲。
Every man is a poet when he is in love.
每个恋爱中的人都是诗人。
This valentine is for the girl who stole my heart.
这份情人节礼物，是送给那位偷去我心的女孩。
I should give you three words: I love you! If i have to add a limit to it. It is 10000 years。
我要对你说三个字：我爱你。如果非要在这份爱上加上一个期限，我希望是……一万年。
When i first saw you, i saw love! When i first touch you, i feel love!
第一次看到你，我明白了什么是爱；第一次碰触你，我感到了爱的神奇！
To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.
人生最大的幸福莫过于享受爱和被爱。
To the world you may be one person, but to me you are the world.
对于世界而言，你也许很普通；但对于我来说，你是我世界的全部。
Love and a cough cannot be hid.
爱情跟咳嗽一样是掩饰不了的。
True love's the gift which God has given to man alone beneath the heaven.
真爱是上帝单独赐予普天下芸芸众生的礼物。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。
Never stop smiling, not even when you're sad, some man fall in love with your smile.
永远要保持微笑，即使在你难过的时候也要笑容满面。说不定有人会因为你的笑而爱上你。
Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad,
Loving me when I'm mad,
Picking me up when I'm down.
Thank you for being my friend and being around,
Teaching me the meaning of love,
Encouraging me when I need a shove,
But most of all thank you for,
Loving me for who I am.
感谢你在我伤心时安慰我，
当我生气时你呵护我，
当我沮丧时你鼓舞我。
感谢你作我的朋友并且在我身旁，
教导我爱的意义，
及时鼓励我。
但我最想感谢你的是,
爱上像我这样的一个人。
