奥维德《爱的艺术》:
Ah me,it’s not safe to praise your love to a friend.
啊!向你的友人夸耀你所爱着的人儿是非常危险的。
原文:
Should I lament,warn you perhaps that right and wrong are confused by all? Friendship and loyalty empty words. Ah me,it’s not safe to praise your love to a friend:if he believes your praise,he’ll steal her himself.
如今我是应该缄默呢,还是应该含愁地看着德行和罪恶相混呢?友谊、善意,都只是空虚的字眼儿。啊!向你的友人夸耀你所爱着的人儿是非常危险的:假如他相信了你的颂词,他立刻就会变成你的对手了。
