This song expresses the feeling many people have that love is predestined: lovers are two halves born separate, and they won’t feel happy and complete until they find each other, and no other person can take that place in their hearts. Then they will be reunited and love each other forever.
這首歌表達(dá)的是許多人的感受：愛(ài)是命中注定的——愛(ài)人是出生時(shí)被分隔的兩部分，他們都無(wú)法快樂(lè)并不完整，直到找到生命中的另一半，而在他們心中，任何人都無(wú)法代替愛(ài)人的位置。他們會(huì)重聚，相愛(ài)，直到永遠(yuǎn)。

So, the story goes, he’s been hurting for years because he couldn’t find her. He wasn’t looking for someone to love, he was looking for his other half, and now he knows she is the one:
所以故事講述的是，因?yàn)楸閷に恢?，他年?fù)一年的受傷。他并不想隨便找個(gè)人來(lái)愛(ài)，他只想找到他的另一半，而如今，他知道他找到了命中的她：

　　I have died every day waiting for you
　　Darling, don't be afraid
　　I have loved you for a thousand years
　　I'll love you for a thousand more

He has been in many other relationships before, and he has been hurt, so now he is afraid of giving his heart away once more, but when he sees how confident she is about this love, he gets inspiration from her and is not afraid anymore:
他之前有過(guò)很多段戀愛(ài)關(guān)系變得傷痕累累，所以如今他不敢再付出真心，但是當(dāng)他看到她對(duì)這段愛(ài)戀信心滿滿，他從她那里受到了鼓舞，不再害怕：

　　How to be brave?
　　How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
　　But watching you stand alone①
　　All of my doubt
　　Suddenly goes away somehow

But he’s still a bit hesitant. He knows she is the one, but he has been hurt so much in the past that he needs time and must take things slowly. Instead of running fast into an engagement, he has to go step by step, and with every step he gets a little closer to her:
但是他還是有些猶豫。他知道，她就是他命中注定的愛(ài)人，但是他在過(guò)去被傷害太多次，他需要時(shí)間，他必須要慢慢來(lái)。他必須一步一個(gè)腳印的，每邁出一步就是離她更近一些——而不是迅速的約會(huì)訂婚：

But then when he is in her company, her beauty shocks him and he feels like time stops, and he feels he can be brave and give her his love unconditionally, because he acknowledges that all his life has been a preparation for this, that everything was meant to bring him to this point when he meets her at last, now his life has a meaning:
但是當(dāng)他進(jìn)入她的公司，他為她的美貌震驚，他覺(jué)得，時(shí)間都靜止了，他一定有勇氣給她無(wú)條件的愛(ài)，因?yàn)樗庾R(shí)到這一生都是為了等待這一刻——就在他最后遇見(jiàn)她的時(shí)候，如今他的生活有了意義：

　　Time stands still.
　　Beauty in all she is.
　　I will be brave,
　　I will not let anything take away what's standing in front of me.
　　Every breath, every hour has come to this②
　　And that realization takes him again...
　　那種自覺(jué)再次擊中了他……
　　One step closer

Because now it’s obvious for him that she is his other half, the one he’s been looking for all his life:
因?yàn)槿缃耧@然易見(jiàn)，她就是他的另一半，他尋找了一生的另一半：

　　And all along I believed I would find you.
　　Time has brought your heart to me.
　　I have loved you for a thousand years.
　　I'll love you for a thousand more
　　注釋：
　?、?Stand alone (隱喻)= To face problems without help.
　?、?Has to come to this=Was directed to this result.
