【英音模仿秀】生命中不能承受之爱

模仿文本：

Two questions should be asked of every love - does it benefit the one who receives it, and does it benefit the one who gives it? There are loves that enslave, stifle¹, exploit and abuse. And there again, there are loves which corrupt² the person who enjoys them, giving him a false and flattering view of himself, and a comforting picture of his own cost-free lovableness.

译文：当谈到爱，我们应该问自己两个问题——它是否会使被爱者受益？它又是否会使施爱者受益？有的爱会使人沦为奴役，有的爱让人窒息，有的爱将人剥蚀殆尽，有的爱使人遍体鳞伤，还有的爱给人带来愉悦的同时腐蚀心灵，让人高估自身，使其错误地认为不需付出便可得到爱的回报
