Love trouble is a well described 'pathology' in Italian medieval literature, often indebted to the humoral medical theories of the School of Salerno, especially in the idea of love sickness as the result of the balance or imbalance ofthe four Hippocratic humors and of the cyclical pattern of the seasons and stages of life. Unbridled passions, not controlled by the 'amor cortese', deform bodies and torment souls and lead both men and women away from the search for a celestial balance, only guaranteed by the union of the heart spirit and bodily heat.
爱情烦恼是意大利中世纪文学中一种描述详尽的“病症”,它常常受萨勒诺学派的体液医学理论影响,尤其是认为相思病是四种希波克拉底体液平衡或失衡以及季节和人生阶段循环模式所致的观点。不受“优雅爱情”控制的放纵激情会扭曲身体、折磨灵魂,使男女都偏离对一种天国平衡的追寻,而这种平衡只有通过心灵、精神和体热的结合才能保证。
