　　suggested version:

　　When we use the word“love”, we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. In fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the noblest of human emotions.

　　As an example of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of natural disasters every year. Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can---be it money or goods---to help their needy fellow citizens. Moreover, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.

　　In my opinion, the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. In this way, we can help to make the world a better place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines.

　　当我们用到“爱”这个词，我们不仅仅指对异性的吸引，这是对这个词非常狭隘的解释。下面的图画注解了爱的真正含义，它强调爱心是情感的力量，不论我们周围的世界多么黑暗，爱心都能支撑我们。事实上，历史上处于不同文化中的人们都把爱当作人类最高尚的情感。

　　举一个例子证明爱心的力量，我们应该记得每年中国各族人民如何响应号召支援自然灾害中的受难者。尽管他们的收入按照国际标准衡量还是处于低水平，但是，全国人民毫不犹豫地尽他们所能捐献——不管是钱，还是物品——去帮助那些贫困的同胞。并且，他们这么做不考虑自己的得失。

　　我认为，表示爱心的最好方式是帮助比我们更加不幸的人。我们应该随时准备向有困难的人伸出援助之手，无论他们是家庭成员还是素昧平生。这样，我们能够助一臂之力把世界变成一个更美好的地方，因为，正像图画所描绘的，悲伤的阴影越黑暗，爱心之灯的光芒就越闪亮。
