Love is a profound feeling of tender affection for or intense attraction to another People in love are often considered to have "good" interpersonal chemistry[1] Love is described as a deep, ineffable feeling shared in passionate or intimate interpersonal relationships In different contexts, however, the word love has a variety of related but distinct meanings: in addition to romantic love, which is characterized by a mix of emotional and sexual desire, other forms include platonic love, religious love, familial love, and the more casual application of the term to anyone or anything that one considers strongly pleasurable, enjoyable, or desirable, including activities and foods This diverse range of meanings in a single word is commonly contrasted with the plurality of Greek words for Love, reflecting the word's versatility and complexity
Although clearly and consistently defining love is a difficult task, and often a subject of much debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't "love" As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more "pure" form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, though other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts
In ordinary use, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself (cf narcissism)
The concept of love, however, is subject to debate Some deny the existence of love Others call it a recently-invented abstraction, sometimes dating the "invention" to courtly Europe during or after the middle ages—though this is contradicted by the sizable body of ancient love poetry Others maintain that love really exists, and is not an abstraction, but is undefinable, being a quantity which is spiritual or metaphysical in nature Some psychologists maintain that love is the action of lending one's "boundary" or "self-esteem" to another Others attempt to define love by applying the definition to everyday life
Cultural differences make any universal definition of love difficult to establish Expressions of love may include the love for a soul or mind, the love of laws and organizations, love for a body, love for nature, love of food, love of money, love for learning, love of power, love of fame, love for the respect of others, etc Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive Love is essentially an abstract concept, easier to experience than to explain Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All you need is love" Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value
Though love is considered a positive and desirable aspect of existence, love can cause a great deal of emotional harm Consider Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Great Expectations, and other classical and popular works that enumerate how love can lead to tragedy and emotional pain In human interactions, love becomes a peril when love is not bilateral, known as Unrequited love A further peril for individuals that love, or can love others, is that love is not enduring and that many people have psychological defense mechanisms inhibit their ability to accept or reciprocate love
Human bonding
Main article: Human bonding
People, throughout history, have often considered phenomena such as “love at first sight” or “instant friendships” to be the result of an uncontrollable force of attraction or affinity One of the first to theorize in this direction was the Greek philosopher Empedocles who in the fourth century BC argued for existence of two forces: love (philia) and strife (neikos), which were used to account for the causes of motion in the universe These two forces were said to intermingle with the four elements, ie earth, water, air, and fire, in such a manner that love, so to say, served as the binding power linking the various parts of existence harmoniously together
Later, Plato interpreted Empedocles’ two agents as attraction and repulsion, stating that their operation is conceived in an alternate sequence[2] From these arguments, Plato originated the concept of “likes attract”, eg earth is thus attracted towards earth, water toward water, and fire toward fire In modern terms this is often phrased in terms of “birds of a feather flock together” Later, following developments in electrical theories, such as Coulomb's law, which showed that positive and negative charges attract, analogs in human life were developed such as "opposites attract" Over the last century, researcher on the nature of human mating, such as in evolutionary psychology, agree that pairs unite or attract to each other owing to a combination of opposites attract, eg people with dissimilar immune systems tend to attract, and likes attract, such similarities of personality, character, views, etc[3] In recent years, various human bonding theories have been developed described in terms of attachments, ties, bonds, and or affinities
Religious views
Main article: Love (religious views)
Love in early religions was a mixture of ecstatic devotion and ritualised obligation to idealised natural forces (pagan polytheism) Later religions shifted emphasis towards single abstractly-oriented objects like God, law, church and state (formalised monotheism)
A third view, pantheism, recognises a state or truth distinct from (and often antagonistic to) the idea that there is a difference between the worshipping subject and the worshipped object Love is reality, of which we, moving through time, imperfectly interpret ourselves as an isolated part
The Bible speaks of love as a set of attitudes and actions that are far broader than the concept of love as an emotional attachment Love is seen as a set of behaviours that humankind is encouraged to act out One is encouraged not just to love one's partner, or even one's friends but also to love one's enemies
The Bible describes this type of active love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8:
Love is patient, love is kind It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres Love never fails
Romantic love is also present in the Bible, particularly the Song of Songs (also known as Song of Solomon, Canticles) Traditionally, this book has been interpreted allegorically as a picture of God's love for Israel and/or the Church When taken naturally, we see a picture of ideal human marriage
"Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealously unyielding as the grave It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame [like the very flame of the LORD] Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned" [8:6-7, NIV]
The passage dodi li v'ani lo ("my beloved is mine and I am my beloved," Song of Songs 2:16) is often engraved on wedding bands [citation needed]
Cultural views
Main article: Love (cultural views)
Although there exist numerous cross-cultural unified similarities as to the nature and definition of love, as in there being a thread of commitment, tenderness, and passion common to all human existence, there are differences For example, in India, with arranged marriages commonplace, it is believed that love is not a necessary ingredient in the initial stages of marriage – it is something that can be created during the marriage; whereas in Western culture, by comparison, love is seen as a necessary prerequisite to marriage
Scientific views
Main article: Love (scientific views)
Throughout history, predominantly, philosophy and religion have speculated the most into the phenomenon of love In the last century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject Recently, however, the sciences of evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have begun to take centre stage in discussion as to the nature and function of love
Biological models of sex tend to see it as a mammalian drive, just like hunger or thirst Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon Psychologist Robert Sternberg created his Triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different components: Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion Intimacy is a form where two people can share secrets and various details of their personal lives Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs Commitment on the other hand is the expectation that the relationship is going to last forever The last and most common form of love is simply sex, or passion Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love This led researchers such as Yela to further refine the model by separating Passion into two independents components: Erotic Passion and Romantic Passion
爱是一种发乎人内心的情感,在中文里有著很多解释,由某种事物给予人少许满足(如我爱进食这些食物)至为了爱某些东西而死(如爱国心、对偶结合)。其可以用来形容爱慕的强烈情感、情绪或情绪状态。在日常生活里,其通常指人际间的爱。可能因为其为情感之首位,所以爱是美术里最普遍的主题。爱有时亦会被形容为强迫观念-强迫行为症。
爱最佳的定义可能是主动行动,以真心对待某个体(可以是人、物件或神),使整体得到快乐。简而言之,爱即主动使整体得到快乐。(Thomas Jay Oord)。
爱是与生俱来的,所以可以认为是人性的特质,换言之,爱是作为人必须具备的本质之一。虽然世界各民族间的文化差异使得一个普世的爱的定义难以道明,但并非不可能成立。请参看沙皮亚-沃尔福假设。爱可以包括灵魂或心灵上的爱、对法律与组织的爱、对自己的爱、对食物的爱、对金钱的爱、对学习的爱、对权力的爱、对名誉的爱、对别人的爱,数之不尽。不同人对其所接受的爱有著不同的重视程度。爱本质上为抽象慨念,可以体验但难以言语
吸引与依附
生物学观点普遍认为爱有两种主要意欲,性魅力与依附。成人间的依附被假设为共同协作以孕育下一代,并让其依附其父母。
2006年2月,该期的国家地理杂志的封面文章“爱:化学反应”讨论了爱与化学反应的关系。其作者史雷特解释了部份关於此领域的研究,部份重点为:
化学触发反应可以表示为热烈的爱,长期的依附的爱则要双方互相参与而非只是单人参与。
沉醉在爱河时的血清素效应(serotonin effects)拥有与强迫观念-强迫行为症相似的化学表现(这解释了为何沉醉在爱河的人无法想到其他人)。因此亦有人主张若患有强迫观念-强迫行为症的精神病人服食血清素再回收抑制剂或其他抗抑郁药,其堕入爱河的能力会被阻碍。举例:
"我知道一对夫妇在离婚边缘,那位妻子在服食抗抑郁剂。但当其停止服食后,其能再次享受性高潮,感到其对丈夫的性魅力得到更新,而其夫妇两人亦再次与对方相爱。"(38)
当刚开始时期的热爱消失后,便会转为长期依附的爱,这是因为催产素等化学物的影响。按摩与做爱可以帮助触发催产素的作用。
为了触发吸引力,进行费神的活动如驾驶云霄飞车很有作用。即使只是做了十分钟的工作,亦可使其对他人的吸引人增加,这是因为其心跳加速与其他生理反应加速。
友爱与热爱
传统心理学的观点认为爱是由友爱与热爱组成。热爱是强烈的渴望,通常陪随著生理激起(呼吸急促、心跳加速,如堕入爱河)。友爱是由紧密的行为而引起的爱慕与感觉,但不陪随著生理激起(如君子之交)。
爱情三角理论
主条目:爱情三角理论
在1986年,心理学家史登堡在《心理评论》(Psychological Review (Vol 93, No2, 119-135))里发表了其著名的爱情三角理论,对爱作出几何学的假设。根据爱情三角理论,爱由三部份组成:
亲密 – 包括了紧密感、联络感与约束感。
激情 – 包括了驱使人恋爱、互相吸引与进行性行为的动力。
承诺 – 包括了短期的爱恋与长期的爱的维系。
对其他人的爱的程度主要是看这三个组成部件的绝对强度;而对别人的爱的种类则是看这三个组成部件的相对强度。这三个组成部件可当为三角形,互相影响,使得爱出现很多不同类别。三角形的大小代爱的程度,越大代表越爱对方。而三角形的形状则代表爱的种类,普遍分为激情阶段(三角形倾向右方)、亲密阶段(正常三角形)、承诺阶段(三角形倾向左方)。这三个元素可以构出七种不同的爱的组合:
亲密 激情 承诺
好感 或 友谊 x
迷恋 或 深恋 x
虚爱 x
浪漫之爱 x x
友伴爱 x x
热爱 x x
圆熟之爱 x x x
[编辑] 爱的风格
苏珊·汉迪斯与克莱德·汉迪斯根据李约翰的理论开发了爱的态度指标,称为爱的风格。其将人际关系分为六个基本类别:
情欲之爱 — 基於对方的外表而产生的热爱。
游戏之爱 — 爱就如游戏,充满乐趣,通常不重视承诺而著重征服对方。
友谊之爱 — 缓慢发展的重情义的爱,基於双方互相尊重与友善。
现实之爱 — 倾向选取可以帮助自己的朋友,使双方皆可由此得益。
依附之爱 — 重情绪的爱,不稳定,是由浪漫之爱衰退而成,充满妒忌与争执。
利他之爱 — 完全无私的爱,重视神交。
两位汉迪斯认为男人会渐渐趋向游戏之爱与依附之爱,反之女人则会渐渐趋向友谊之爱与现实之爱。而两者之间的关系若是具有相类的爱可维持得更为长久。
[编辑] 爱的阶段
费雪提议爱有三种主要的状态:情欲、吸引、依附。爱通常会由情欲状态开始,主要著重激情而忽略其他元素。此阶段最基本的推动力是基本性本能、如外表、气味与其他相似的因素是选取伙伴的主要因素。然而随著时间的流逝,其他元素可能会增多而激情则减少,但这却是每个人皆不同。在吸引阶段,人们会将注意力集中在其对对方的影响上,而此时忠诚最为重要。
与此相似,当一个人长时间被爱,其将会与其伙伴发展出依附的关系。根据现代科学对爱的解释,由吸引至依附转移需要三十个月时间。其后激情消失,爱会由热爱转向友爱,或由浪漫之爱转向好感。

[编辑] 中华文化
现代汉语与中华文化里,少数的词汇被用作描绘爱的慨念∶
爱这个字可用作动词如我爱你或名词,如爱情。
恋这个字并不会作单词用,通常会与其他字组合,如谈恋爱、恋人或同性恋。
情这个字通常解作感觉或情绪,通常指代为爱,而其可与其他字组合为相爱的意思,如爱情、情人。
在儒家学说里,恋是纯爱之意。恋为所有人追求的东西,为道德生活的反映。而中国的哲学家墨子则发展出与儒家的恋慨念相对的爱的慨念。爱在墨家学说里为兼爱之意,即爱无等差,对众生皆持对等的爱。浪费与攻伐对爱则不利。虽然墨子的想法亦有一定影响力,但儒家的恋仍是大部份中国人对爱的慨念。
感情指两人之间的感觉。两人会以建立良好感情来表达对对方的爱,如互相帮助。而且可以对万物存有感情,不只限於人。
缘份是指两人间命运的关连。俗语说∶有缘千里能相聚,无缘见面不相识。
早恋是在当代中国常用的概念,指的是青年 、童年时发生的“爱情”或者对某异性人“感兴趣” 或“痴情”。早恋包括青年“男女朋友”以及儿童的早恋感觉(跟英文的“crush”这概念有一点关系)。这概念表示当代中国文化 、社会上的普通观点,就是未成年人由于学习的压力,不应该谈恋爱,否则对他们前途和出息可以有坏处。很重要一种原因是当代中国教育制度的极大竞争性。报纸和别的媒体也报导早恋这现象对学生的危险与家长的担心。
[编辑] 大和文化
在日本佛教里,爱意味著关怀、热情与基本渴望。其可发展为自私或无私与教化两方面。
甘え,在日语里指撒娇,是日本人抚养子女的文化。日本母亲通常会紧抱与纵容其子女,其子女则会通由依赖与孝顺来回报其母亲。部份社会学家(最著名的为土居健郎)认为日本人在长大后的社交手法很大程度建基於童年时对母亲撒娇的手法。
在日语语言学里,最常见与爱相关的两个字为爱与恋。通常非浪漫之爱均以前者表示,而浪漫之爱则以后者表示。父母之爱则称为亲の爱,而与人相恋则称为恋する。当然亦有特例,爱人此词解为相爱之人并暗示为非法的关系,通常表示为婚外情,反之恋人则有男朋友、女朋友或伴侣的含意。
在每天的交谈里,爱与恋却较少用到,反之以爱している或恋している来表示我爱你的人较多,例如日本人会说好きです来表示我喜欢你 -- 好き解为喜好,亦可以用作表示对食物、音乐或其他事件的爱好,就如寿司が好きです解为喜欢寿司,其暗示爱,但没有淡化其情感。
Diligere解为尊重,较少在浪漫之爱里使用。这个字可以通常用以形容两个男性之间的友谊。其对应的名词为diligentia,然而其有著努力、细心之意,与其动词形态只有少量意义重叠。
Observare为'diligere'的同义字,其对应的名词'observantia'亦解为尊重或影响。
Caritas在拉丁文圣经里解为慈爱,但在古典罗马非基督教文学里却无此解。因为其由希腊文字演变而得,所以并没有对应的动词。
[编辑] 印尼与马来亚文化
在印尼与马来西亚的语言里,爱可以有数种定义∶
Cinta代表性欲。
Jatuh cinta指刚堕入爱河。
Sayang指无条件去爱,但亦指损失某些东西产生的遗憾。

The Romance of a Busy Broker证券经纪人的浪漫故事
Pitcher, confidential clerk in the office of Harvey Maxwell, broker, allowed a look of mild interest and surprise to visit his usually expressionless countenance when his employer briskly entered at half past nine in company with his young lady stenographer With a snappy Good-morning, Pitcher, Maxwell dashed at his desk as though he were intending to leap over it, and then plunged into the great heap of letters and telegrams waiting there for him
The young lady had been Maxwell's stenographer for a year She was beautiful in a way that was decidedly unstenographic She forewent the pomp of the alluring pompadour She wore no chains, bracelets or lockets She had not the air of being about to accept an invitation to luncheon Her dress was grey and plain, but it fitted her figure with fidelity and discretion In her neat black turban hat was the gold-green wing of a macaw On this morning she was softly and shyly radiant Her eyes were dreamily bright, her cheeks genuine peachblow, her expression a happy one, tinged with reminiscence
Pitcher, still mildly curious, noticed a difference in her ways this morning Instead of going straight into the adjoining room, where her desk was, she lingered, slightly irresolute, in the outer office Once she moved over by Maxwell's desk, near enough for him to be aware of her presence
The machine sitting at that desk was no longer a man; it was a busy New York broker, moved by buzzing wheels and uncoiling springs
Well--what is it Anything asked Maxwell sharply His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk His keen grey eye, impersonal and brusque, flashed upon her half impatiently
Nothing, answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile
Mr Pitcher, she said to the confidential clerk, did Mr Maxwell say anything yesterday about engaging another stenographer
He did, answered Pitcher He told me to get another one I notified the agency yesterday afternoon to send over a few samples this morning It's 945 o'clock, and not a single picture hat or piece of pineapple chewing gum has showed up yet
I will do the work as usual, then, said the young lady, until some one comes to fill the place And she went to her desk at once and hung the black turban hat with the gold-green macaw wing in its accustomed place
He who has been denied the spectacle of a busy Manhattan broker during a rush of business is handicapped for the profession of anthropology The poet sings of the crowded hour of glorious life The broker's hour is not only crowded, but the minutes and seconds are hanging to all the straps and packing both front and rear platforms
And this day was Harvey Maxwell's busy day The ticker began to reel out jerkily its fitful coils of tape, the desk telephone had a chronic attack of buzzing Men began to throng into the office and call at him over the railing, jovially, sharply, viciously, excitedly Messenger boys ran in and out with messages and telegrams The clerks in the office jumped about like sailors during a storm Even Pitcher's face relaxed into something resembling animation
On the Exchange there were hurricanes and landslides and snowstorms and glaciers and volcanoes, and those elemental disturbances were reproduced in miniature in the broker's offices Maxwell shoved his chair against the wall and transacted business after the manner of a toe dancer He jumped from ticker to 'phone, from desk to door with the trained agility of a harlequin
In the midst of this growing and important stress the broker became suddenly aware of a high-rolled fringe of golden hair under a nodding canopy of velvet and ostrich tips, an imitation sealskin sacque and a string of beads as large as hickory nuts, ending near the floor with a silver heart There was a self-possessed young lady connected with these accessories; and Pitcher was there to construe her
Lady from the Stenographer's Agency to see about the position, said Pitcher
Maxwell turned half around, with his hands full of papers and ticker tape
What position he asked, with a frown
Position of stenographer, said Pitcher You told me yesterday to call them up and have one sent over this morning
You are losing your mind, Pitcher, said Maxwell Why should I have given you any such instructions Miss Leslie has given perfect satisfaction during the year she has been here The place is hers as long as she chooses to retain it There's no place open here, madam Countermand that order with the agency, Pitcher, and don't bring any more of 'em in here
The silver heart left the office, swinging and banging itself independently against the office furniture as it indignantly departed Pitcher seized a moment to remark to the bookkeeper that the old man seemed to get more absent-minded and forgetful every day of the world
The rush and pace of business grew fiercer and faster On the floor they were pounding half a dozen stocks in which Maxwell's customers were heavy investors Orders to buy and sell were coming and going as swift as the flight of swallows Some of his own holdings were imperilled, and the man was working like some high-geared, delicate, strong machine--strung to full tension, going at full speed, accurate, never hesitating, with the proper word and decision and act ready and prompt as clockwork Stocks and bonds, loans and mortgages, margins and securities--here was a world of finance, and there was no room in it for the human world or the world of nature
When the luncheon hour drew near there came a slight lull in the uproar
Maxwell stood by his desk with his hands full of telegrams and memoranda, with a fountain pen over his right ear and his hair hanging in disorderly strings over his forehead His window was open, for the beloved janitress Spring had turned on a little warmth through the waking registers of the earth
And through the window came a wandering--perhaps a lost--odour--a delicate, sweet odour of lilac that fixed the broker for a moment immovable For this odour belonged to Miss Leslie; it was her own, and hers only
The odour brought her vividly, almost tangibly before him The world of finance dwindled suddenly to a speck And she was in the next room--twenty steps away
By George, I'll do it now, said Maxwell, half aloud I'll ask her now I wonder I didn't do it long ago
He dashed into the inner office with the haste of a short trying to cover He charged upon the desk of the stenographer
She looked up at him with a smile A soft pink crept over her cheek, and her eyes were kind and frank Maxwell leaned one elbow on her desk He still clutched fluttering papers with both hands and the pen was above his ear
Miss Leslie, he began hurriedly, I have but a moment to spare I want to say something in that moment Will you he my wife I haven't had time to make love to you in the ordinary way, but I really do love you Talk quick, please--those fellows are clubbing the stuffing out of Union Pacific
Oh, what are you talking about exclaimed the young lady She rose to her feet and gazed upon him, round-eyed
Don't you understand said Maxwell, restively I want you to marry me I love you, Miss Leslie I wanted to tell you, and I snatched a minute when things had slackened up a bit They're calling me for the 'phone now Tell 'em to wait a minute, Pitcher Won't you, Miss Leslie
The stenographer acted very queerly At first she seemed overcome with amazement; then tears flowed from her wondering eyes; and then she smiled sunnily through them, and one of her arms slid tenderly about the broker's neck
I know now, she said, softly It's this old business that has driven everything else out of your head for the time I was frightened at first Don't you remember, Harvey We were married last evening at 8 o'clock in the Little Church Around the Corner
证券经纪人哈维·马克斯韦尔于九点半在年轻女速记员陪同下步履轻快地来到办公室。机要秘书皮彻那通常毫无表情的面孔不禁露出一丝好奇和诧异。马克斯韦尔只随口道了声“早上好”,便径直奔向办公桌,匆忙得好像想一步跨过桌面,随后就一头扎进一大堆等着他处理的信件和电报。
年轻女郎给马克斯韦尔当速记员已经有一年。她异常秀美动人,绝非速记员草草几笔所能简单描述。她不愿采用华丽诱人的庞巴杜式发型,不戴项链、手镯或鸡心。她脸上没有随时准备受邀外出进餐的神气。她的灰色衣服素净朴实,但却生动勾勒出她的身材而不失典雅。她那顶精巧的黑色无边帽上插了根艳绿色金刚鹦鹉毛。今天早上,她春风飘逸,温柔而羞涩。她的眼睛流波瞑瞑,双颊桃红妖娆,满面乐融,又略带一丝回味。
好奇之余,皮彻发现今天她的举止也有点儿异样。她没有直接到放有她办公桌的里间办公室去,而是滞留在外间办公室,有点儿拿不定主意似的。她慢慢蹭到马克斯韦尔桌边,离他很近,足以让他意识到她的存在。
坐在办公桌前的他已经不再是个常人,而是一个繁忙的纽约证券经纪人,一架完全受嗡嗡作响的轮子和张开的弹簧所驱动的机器。
“嘿,怎么啦?有事?”马克斯韦尔问,语气尖刻。那些拆开的邮件堆了满满一桌,就像演戏用的假雪。他那锐利的灰蓝色眼睛,毫无人情味儿,严厉粗暴,不耐烦地盯着她。
“没什么,”速记员回答说,然后微笑着走开了。
“皮彻先生,”她问机要秘书,“马克斯韦尔先生昨天提没提过另外雇一名速记员的事?”
“提过,”皮彻说。“他吩咐我另外找一个。昨天下午我已通知职业介绍所,让他们今天上午送几个来面试。现在已经九点四十五了,可还没有哪个戴阔边帽或嚼波萝口香糖的人露面哩。”
“那我还是照常工作好啦,”年轻女郎说,“等有人替补再说。”说完她马上走到自己的办公桌边,在老地方挂起那顶插有金刚鹦鹉毛的黑色无边帽。
谁无缘目睹曼哈顿经纪人在生意高峰时刻那股紧张劲儿,谁搞人类学研究就有极大缺陷。有诗人赞颂“绚丽生活中的拥挤时辰”。证券经纪人不仅时辰拥挤,他的分分秒秒都是挤得满满当当的,像是前后站台都挤满乘客的车厢里的拉手吊带,每根都被拉得紧绷绷的。
今天又正是哈维·马克斯韦尔的大忙天。行情收录器的滚轴开始瑟瑟卷动,忽停忽动地吐出卷纸,桌上的电话像害了慢性病似的响个不停。人们开始涌入办公室,隔着扶手栏杆朝他大喊大叫,有的欣喜若狂,有的横眉竖眼,有的恶意满怀,有的激动不已。信童拿着信件和电报跑进跑出。办公室的职员们忙得跳来跳去,就像与风暴搏斗的水手。连皮彻的脸也舒张开来,显得生机勃勃。
证券交易所里风云变幻,飓风、山崩、雪暴、冰川、火山瞬息交替;这些自然力的剧动以微观形式在经纪人办公室中再现。马克斯韦尔把椅子掀到墙边,如踢跶舞演员般敏捷地处理业务,时而从自动收录器跳向电话,时而从桌前跳到门口,其灵活不亚于受过专门训练的滑稽丑角。
经纪人全神致力于这堆越来越多但又十分重要的事务之中,这时他突然注意到一头高高卷起的金发,上面是顶微微抖动的鹅绒帽和鸵毛羽饰;一件人造海豹皮短大衣,一串大如山核桃的珠子垂近地板,尾端还吊了一个银鸡心。这一大套装饰物与一个沉着镇定的年轻女子相关联。皮彻正准备引荐她,替她作解释。
“这位**从速记员介绍所来,说招聘的事。”
马克斯韦尔侧过身子,手上捏了一把文件和行情纸带。
“招聘什么?”他皱起眉头问。
“速记员,”皮彻说。“昨天你叫我打电话,让他们今天上午送一个过来。”
“你搞糊涂了吧?”马克斯韦尔说。“我干吗给你下这个命令?莱丝丽这一年工作表现十全十美。只要她愿意,这份工作就是她的。**,这儿没有空缺。皮彻,通知事务所,取消要人申请,叫他们别再送人过来。”
银鸡心离开了办公室。一路上她愤愤不平,大摇大摆,把桌椅沙发碰得乒乒乓乓。皮彻忙中偷闲给簿记员说,“老太爷”一天比一天心不在焉,多事健忘。
业务处理越来越紧张,节奏越来越快。在交易所马克斯韦尔的顾客投资巨额的六七种股票正在暴跌。收进和抛出的单据来来去去,疾如燕飞。有些他本人持有的股票也处于危险之中。经纪人工作起来就像一架高速运转、精密复杂、强壮有力的机器——绷紧到最大限度,运转至最快速度,精确无误,坚决果断,措词贴切而决策恰当,行动时机的选择如时钟般准确无误。股票,证券,贷款,抵押,保证金,债券——这是一个金融世界,人际感情或自然本性在这里毫无落脚之地。
午餐时间逐渐临近,喧嚣之中慢慢出现片刻暂息。
马克斯韦尔站在办公桌边,手上捏满了电报和备忘录,右耳上夹了支钢笔,几撮头发零乱地披在脑门上。窗户敞开着,因为亲爱的女门房——春——已经打开苏醒大地的暖气管,送来一丝暖意。
通过窗户飘来一丝悠悠——也许是失散——的香气。这是紫丁香幽微、甜美的芳菲。刹那间,经纪人给怔住了。因为这香气属于莱丝丽**;
这是她本人的气息,她独有的气息。
芳香在他心中唤出她的容貌,栩栩如生,几乎伸手可及。
金融世界转瞬间缩成一点。而她就在隔壁房间,仅二十步之遥。
“天哪,我现在就得去,”马克斯韦尔压低嗓子说。“我现在就去跟她说。怎么我没早点儿想起?”
他箭步冲进里间办公室,像个卖空头的人急于补足那样急不可耐。他对直冲向速记员的办公桌。
她抬起头,笑盈盈地看着他,服上泛出淡淡红晕,眼睛里闪动着温柔和坦率。马克斯韦尔一支胳膊撑在桌上,手上依然握满了文件,耳朵上还夹着那支钢笔。
“莱丝丽**,”他仓仓促促地说,“我只能呆一小会儿,趁这个时候给你说件事。你愿意做我的妻子吗?我没时间以常人的方式向你求爱,但我确确实实爱你。请快回答我。那些人又在抢购太平洋联合公司的股票罗。”
“喔,你在说什么呀?”年轻女郎惊诧不已。她站起身,直愣愣地看着他,眼睛瞪得圆圆的。
“你不懂?”马克斯韦尔倔头倔脑地说。“我要你嫁给我。我爱你,莱丝丽**。我早就想告诉你,手头的事情稍微松些后,我才瞅空过来。又有人在打电话找我。皮彻,叫他们等一下。答应我吗,莱丝丽**?”
速记员的神态叫人莫名其妙。起初,她好像惊愕万分;继而,泪水又涌出她迷惘的眼睛;其后,泪眼又发出欢笑的光芒;最后,她又柔情地搂住经纪人的脖子。
“现在我懂了,”她亲切地说。“是这生意让你忘记了一切。刚才我还吓了一大跳。哈维,不记得了吗?昨天晚上八点,我们已经在街上拐角处的小教堂结过婚了。”
