譯者的話
這是一本以孩子為訴求的可愛圖畫書, 以孩子為主角, 探詢什麼是愛.

由於是非正式出版, 偶試著從家長的角度出發.
本書第一部分是所有的原圖, 第二部分是中文翻譯.
偶覺得這樣可以讓家長同時對孩子進行美術與英語教育, 一舉兩得 !

願本書能帶給各位家長與孩子們一段歡樂與充實的時光!

What is Love
什麼是愛

第3頁
什麼是愛
故事來源-- 哈頓(Hatonn): 愛與光的使者
由卡拉(Carla)於 1976 年 6 月 27 日傳訊.
插畫製作-- 瑪莉.安.包曼(Mary Ann Bowman), 於 1984 年春天.
本書得以出版是由於一位匿名的捐獻者的慷慨.

第4頁
There was once a boy who had grown wise to the ways of the world about him, for he
saw much in his daily life, and he understood much.
從前有個小男孩在智慧中成長, 了解他週遭世界的(運行)方式, 因為他在日常生
活中看過許多, 並且理解許多.

(註: 這裡的第一句比想像得難翻, 或許也可以解釋成...小男孩在成長過程中, 變

得越來越聰明.. 請讀者們自行斟酌.)

第5頁
Yet there were many things that puzzled him, as he grew, and perhaps the chief of
these things was that which the grown-ups kept calling love.
然而, 在他的成長過程, 仍有許多事情使他困惑, 或許最主要的事就是那些大人
不斷稱為愛的東西.

He turned to his parents, and he said, “What is love?”

第7頁
And they said, “Love is honoring your father and your mother, and obeying them.”

He accepted this and thought on it, and attempted to show love by honoring his father
and his mother. And yet he was not satisfied.
他接受這點 並且思量了一番, 嘗試藉由榮耀他的父親與母親展現愛. 然而, 他
並不滿足.

第9頁
So he went to his teacher. And he said, “Teacher, what is love?”

第 10 頁
The teacher said, “Love is doing what the teacher tells you to do, and learning what
we ask you to learn here at school.”

西."

第 11 頁
The boy realized that there must be some truth in this. But yet he was not satisfied.

something, they say, ‘I love you.’”

billowing sails.

dreams, yet never so clearly as now.

There he saw a beautiful entity in white robes, glistening golden, not with sunlight,
but with light coming from the face of the entity itself.
在那兒, 他看見一個穿著白色長袍的實體, 閃耀著金色光芒, 並不是陽光的緣故,
而是光芒來自該實體自身的臉龐.

慮以天使, 或任何你喜歡的稱謂.)

looked.

seemed to be alive with joy and love, and he knew what love was because he was
seeing it. It was visible to him.

Yet he knew that it was love.
