一封巧妙的情書
請點擊:元宵節情人節
請點擊:西方傳統婚禮習俗

明天是東方的元宵節和西方的情人節,美語壇的中西節日也將持續到這一天(請點擊參加活動 )。想起多年前,我在一本英語雜誌上讀到的一封巧妙的英語情書,一個小夥子愛上了一個姑娘,姑娘的父親,卻不同意小夥子和姑娘的戀愛,可是小夥子卻對姑娘一往情深,小夥子給他心愛的姑娘寫了一封情書,姑娘的父親讀了以後,非常地高興,知道小夥子已經和他的女兒斷絕了戀愛關係。而姑娘呢,讀完信後,幸福洋溢著在她的臉上,她讀到了小夥子對她的愛一如從前。

一封信,為什麽會讀出兩種結果呢?這就是這封信的巧妙之處,請把這封讀兩遍吧,第一遍:先從頭至尾讀,這是小夥子專門寫過姑娘的父親看的;第二遍,隔行讀,這是寫給他心儀的姑娘的,下麵是這封英語情書。背景歌曲《Rose》分別由Bette Midler和West Life演唱,小提琴演奏是André Rieu。歌中唱到:“Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed; Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed; Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. I say love it is a flower, and you its only seed. ” 雙節之際,祝福大家,幸福美好到永遠。

A Love Letter
Source: Internet

My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
I even won't like that look yours.
I'll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I'll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn't think it
made me eager to see you again.

If we get married, I firmly believe I'll
live a hard life, I can never
live happily with you, I'll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh and selfish and least
solicitous and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease me. You have no
sincere care for me. So long! Please believe
I don't love you any longer. Don't think
I still love you.
