爱包含关怀

Love Implies Care

　
That love implies care is most evident in a mother's love for her child. No assurance of her love would strike us as sincere if we saw her lacking in care for the infant, if she neglected to feed it, to bathe it, to give it physical comfort; and we are impressed by her love if we see her caring for the child.
这在母亲对子女的爱中，表现得再明显不过了。如果我们看见一个母亲对婴儿疏于照顾，忘了喂他、替他洗澡、给他身体上的安抚，那么无论她如何保证自己的爱，都无法给人真诚的感觉。只有看见她在照顾小孩时，我们才会对她的爱留下深刻的印象。

It is not different even with the love for animals or flowers. If a woman told us that she loved flowers, and we saw that she forgot to water them, we would not believe in her \"love\" for flowers. Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.
对动物、花草的爱也是一位女士说她爱花，但是我们却发觉她忘了浇水，那么我们便不会相信她对花儿的\"爱\"。对我们所爱的生命及其成长付出积极的关怀，这才是爱的真谛。

Where this active concern is lacking, there is no love.
如果没有积极的关怀，也就没有爱。
