To begin with I love you with a depth and passion that I have felt for no one else in this life and if it astonishes you it astonishes me as well.
首先,我如此深切热烈的爱你,以至于我此生不会再爱上其他人,如果这让你吃惊,它同样让我觉得不可思议。

My darling McGeorge,
亲爱的麦克乔治:
You said that things seemed clearer when they werewritten down.
你曾说过把事情写下来,他们就会变得更清楚。
Well, here with a very boring letter in which I willtry and put everything down so that you may readand re-read at horror at your folly in gettinginvolved with me.
那么这恐怕是一封很无聊的信,在信里我会试着把所有的东西都写下来,因此你会在恐惧中反复阅读,为爱上我而感到愚蠢。
Deep breath.
深呼吸。
To begin with I love you with a depth and passion that I have felt for no one else in this lifeand if it astonishes you it astonishes me as well.
首先,我如此深切热烈的爱你,以至于我此生不会再爱上其他人,如果这让你吃惊,它同样让我觉得不可思议。
Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving.
我必须要说,并不是你不值得去爱。
Far from it.
远不是如此。
It´s just that, first of all, I swore I would not get involved with another woman.
只是,首先我发誓我不会再爱上另外一个女人。
Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost frightening.
其次,我从未有过这样的感觉,因而感到害怕。
Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human being could occupy mywaking (and sleeping) thoughts to the exclusion of almost everything else.
第三,我从未想过会有一个人会占据我所有的时间(包括睡觉的时候)让我无时无刻不在想她。
Fourthly, I never thought that – even if one was in love – one could get so completely besottedwith another person, so that a minute away from them felt like a thousand years.
第四,我从未想过会有人,即使是处于恋爱中的人,会如此迷恋对方,以至于分开哪怕一分钟都像相隔千年。
Fifthly, I never hoped, aspired, dreamed that one could find everything one wanted in oneperson.
第五,我从未希望、渴求、幻想过能在另外一个人身上得到我想要的一切。
I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible.
我还没有愚蠢到认为这是可能的。
Yet in you I have found everything I want: you are beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically anddeliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as well.
但是在你身上我找到了我想要的一切:你不但温柔美丽,还性格随和乐于助人,你性感撩人、聪明机灵中还带着点傻里傻气的天真。
I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch you (your beautifulvoice, your beauty), to argue with you, to laugh with you, to show you things and share thingswith you, to explore your magnificent mind, to explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you, and bash you on the head when I think you are wrong …
我这辈子只想和你在一起,聆听你的动人声音,欣赏你的美丽容颜,与你同甘共苦,分享生活点滴,探索你的浩渺思绪和曼妙身姿,帮助你,保护你,服务你,在我认为你犯错了的时候念叨你……
Not to put too fine a point on it I consider that I am the only man outside mythology to havefound the crock of gold at the rainbow´s end.
坦白来说,我认为我是唯一一个在神话中的彩虹尽头发现了金匣子的人。

Hi,好久不见。
不知道你是否还好。有一点是可以肯定的,那就是你肯定比我们年轻漂亮很多。你的眉眼不会有岁月的痕迹,你也不会因为工作的辛劳而目露疲态。我和小希都已经工作了。我还记得大一那个晚上,夜很黑,没有星星,你和我还有小希躺在操场的塑胶跑道上。白色的大灯打在我们身上,我们像话剧演员一样大声说话。你撑着头说:我我想做一个插画家。我大声说自己想拍一部很成功很成功的独立电影。小希说她喜欢所学的专业,喜欢三尺讲台。其实大一的我们已经知道,梦想只是用来写作文用的。我们再也不会像小学时候在课堂发言一样,自豪的说出自己的梦想,并对其能实现坚信不疑。操场上的我们认为梦想是福利彩票,它会给你带来希望,给你勇敢。可是你没有来得及等到这张彩票的开奖日,就离开了。
我经常想起你,想起你躺在寝室不想去上课,软声求我帮你喊到。想起你拉着我们一起去吃新开的餐厅,把这种行为叫做三姐妹探店节目,想起你曾经说,即使毕业了,也要常聚哦!
现在我们也经常聚哟,有时候我和小希会来杭州来探望你,哈哈。 其实你刚走那会,我很痛苦,大部分是对不公的愤恨,我想,全世界这么多人,凭什么是你?
但我知道,人的一生就像坐一班地铁,我不断前行,中途有人离开,有人加入,直到某一站,我自己也下车离开,但地铁并不会停止,车上所有的人都在继续前行,继续他们的旅程。
你已经下车了,我们还需继续前行,我会将对你的不舍与悲伤深埋藏心底,携带着你的坚持、乐观,努力,继续我的人生旅程。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
我们江湖再见
