Marriage
婚姻
Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"
听闻此言，米特拉再度发问：“师尊啊，婚姻又当如何理会？”
And he answered saying:
于是他答道：
You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore.
你们结伴而生，亦将相伴永远。
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
你们彼此相伴，哪怕死亡的白翼，令你们的日子零落分散。
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
是啊，即便在真神的静默记忆之中，你们也彼此相伴。
But let there be spaces in your togetherness.
虽则你们契合如一，契合之中须有空间。
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
好让天堂之风，在彼此之间翩跹。
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
彼此须当相爱，却不可将爱变成绑缚：
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
要让爱成为浩瀚大洋，在彼此灵魂的两岸之间起伏。
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
斟满彼此的杯子，却不可同饮一盏。
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
以面包相互馈赠，却不可共食一片。
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
你们要一起歌舞尽欢，各自也要独自孑然，
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
正如鲁特琴弦，一根根各自分明，哪怕它们为同一段旋律抖颤。
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
交出你们的心，却不可托付对方收存。
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
只有生命之手，才容得下你们的心灵。
And stand together yet not too near together:
你们要并肩而立，却不可靠得太近：
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
要知道，神庙的廊柱皆有间距，
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
橡树与柏树也不会托庇于彼此的树荫。
