——爱因斯坦：直到最后我才明白  宇宙中一切能量的源泉竟是“爱”

（原文来自网络，非常珍贵的文章，感谢各位原译者。在此根据本人对原文的理解，一些重要词句做了修改润色，此版译文责任在本人，错漏之处，敬请指正。）
 

1980年代末，著名的天才爱因斯坦的女儿Lieserl出于对父亲的命令而不是为了出版，将爱因斯坦写的1400封信捐给了希伯来大学。一直到爱因斯坦死后20年才公开其中的内容。这一封就是他写给女儿Lieserl的信：

“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
 
当我发表相对论理论的时候，几乎没有人能理解。而我现在要揭示出来传达给人类的，同样会与现有人类对世界的误解和偏见产生冲突。
 

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
 
我请你保护这些信件越久越好，几年、几十年，直到社会进步到能够接受我下面将要解释的内容。
 

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.
 
有一种极为强大的力量，迄今为止科学都没有对它作出正式的解释。这是一种包含并统摄所有其它一切的力量，在宇宙中所有现象背后运行着，尚未为人所知。这种遍及宇宙的力量就是大写的“爱”。
 

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who Give and Receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For LOVE we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

当科学家们苦苦寻找一个宇宙统一理论的时候，他们忘记了这种最强大的无形之力。爱是光，能够照亮那些给予它并得到它的人。爱是地心引力，因为它能让人们互相吸引。爱是能量，因为爱让我们拥有的最美好的东西倍增，而且避免人类在盲目的自私中毁灭。爱呈现着并揭示着。因为爱，我们生生死死。爱是上帝，上帝就是爱。
 

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

这个力量解释着一切，让我们的生命充满意义。这是一个我们已经忽略了太久的因缘，也许因为我们害怕爱，因为它是人类唯一还没有学会任意驾驭的宇宙能量。


To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc² we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

为了让爱能够清晰可见，我用最著名的方程式做了个简单的替代法。如果我们不用E=mc²来表达，而是承认治愈世界的能量是通过爱乘以光速的平方来获得，我们就得出一个结论：爱是最强大的的力量，因为它没有极限。


After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

人类在运用和控制某些宇宙能量方面的失败，反过来伤害了我们自己，我们迫切需要另一种能量来滋养我们。
 

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

如果我们想要自己的物种得以存活，如果我们要寻找生命的意义，如果我们想拯救这个世界和每一个居住在世界上的生灵，爱是唯一的答案。
 

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

也许我们还没有准备好制造一个爱的炸弹，一个能量满满的装备来彻底摧毁能够导致地球毁灭的仇恨、自私和贪婪。
 

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of LOVE whose energy is waiting to be released.

然而，每一个独立的个体内在都带着很细微的、但有待释放的强大的爱的发电机！
 

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that Love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because Love is the quintessence of Life!
 
当我们学会给予和接受这种宇宙能量的时候，亲爱的Lieserl，我们就会承认爱能降服一切，爱，超越每一个存在和任何存在，因为爱就是生命的精髓。
 

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly  beaten for you all my life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but as TIME is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer！！ ”

我深深遗憾一直未能表达出我内心深处的东西，尽管在我整个生命中，那些东西都在悄悄地为你怦然而动。或许现在抱歉太晚了，但时间是相对的，我需要告诉你的是：“我爱你，谢谢你，因为我终于找到了最终的答案！！”
