Is Love an Art?爱是一门艺术吗？ Erich Fromm

埃里克·弗罗姆

Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort. Or is love a pleasant sensation, which to experience is a matter of chance, something one “falls into” if one is lucky? This little book is based on the former premise, while undoubtedly the majority of people today believe in the latter.

爱一门艺术呢，还是一种快感呢？如果是一门艺术，它就需要知识和努力；而要体验快感则全凭造化，唯幸运儿才能“坠入爱河”。如今多数人无疑相信后一种观点，但这本小书却是基于前一种假定的。

Not that people think that love is not important. They are starved for it; they watch endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories, they listen to hundreds of trashy songs about love — yet hardly anyone thinks that there is anything that needs to be learned about love. 这并不是说人们认为爱不重要。人们渴望着爱，他们看不计其数的描写幸福和不幸爱情故事的电影，他们听数以百计的毫无价值的爱情歌曲——然而几乎没有人认为关于爱还有什么需要学习的东西。

This peculiar attitude is based on several premises which either singly or combined tend to uphold it. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving, of one’s capacity to love. Hence the problem to them is how to be loved, how to be lovable. In pursuit of this aim theyfollow several paths. One, which is especially used by men, is

to be successful, to be as powerful and rich as the social margin of one’s position permits. Another, used especially by women, is to make oneself attractive, by cultivating one’s body, dress, etc. Other ways of making oneself attractive, used both by men and women, are to develop pleasant manners, interesting conversation, to be helpful, modest, inoffensive. Many of the ways to make oneself lovable are the same as those used to make oneself successful, “to win friends and influence people.” As a ED matter of fact, what most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.

这种奇特的态度基于几个前提，这些前提往往单独地或相互结合地支持着这种态度。多数人认为所谓爱主要是“被爱”的问题，而不是“爱人”的问题，不是自己有没有爱的能力的问题。所以，他们认为问题在于如何被爱，如何变得可爱。他们通过几种途径来达到这一目的。其中尤为男士们所喜用的是取得成功，在自己的社会地位允许的范围内获得最大的权力和财富。而尤为女士们所喜用的是尽力塑造体形，注重衣着等，从而使自己更有吸引力。另外一些使自己更有吸引力的方式，则为男女所共同采用，如使自己举止得体，谈吐幽默，以及乐于助人、谦虚随和等。很多让自己变得可爱的方式和使自己事业有成的途径相同，如“赢得朋友，影响他人”等。其实，在我们的文化中，大多数所谓的可爱，实质上是既要讨人喜欢，又要具有性的魅力。

A second premise behind the attitude that there is nothing to be learned about love is the assumption that the problem of love is the problem of an
