如何用英文给女朋友写情书 盘点写给女生浪漫到哭的英文情书(4)
4、罗纳德·里根的唯美情书:
罗纳德·里根和妻子南希携手共度52年,两人的婚姻曾被形容为美国总统史上最伟大的爱情故事。
两人结婚多年,依旧保持了恋爱的激情,那一封封情书就是最好的见证。
1994年,里根罹患老年痴呆症,但他仍然坚持给南希写信,直到病重为止。
Dear First Lady, this is the day, the day that marks 31 years of such happiness as comes to few men. I told you once that it was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't changed. I more than love you, I'm not whole without you. You are life itself to me. Happy Anniversary & thank you for 31 wonderful years.
亲爱的第一夫人,到今天为止,我们共同度过了31年的幸福时光,这是世上少数男人才享有的荣幸。我曾告诉过你,我的婚姻就像一个青少年对婚姻所怀的梦想那样美好,一直以来都是如此。你是我的至爱,没有你,我是不完整的。你就是我的生命本身。结婚纪念日快乐,感谢你31年来的美好陪伴!
5、夏洛蒂·勃朗特的唯美情书
1842年,夏洛蒂·勃朗特远赴布鲁塞尔的一间女子学校求学,她爱上了法国文学的教授Constantin Héger,但后者已有家室。
1844年,勃朗特回到家乡后,相思难耐,频繁写信,向Héger教授表达爱慕与思念之情。但Héger教授少有回信,甚至撕毁她的来信。
耐人寻味的是,是教授的妻子从废纸篓中把信找了出来又重新拼好,才让后世人得以一窥《简·爱》作者陷入疯狂爱恋却求而不得时绝望又炽热的情感。
读这些文字,你会想到张爱玲说的:“喜欢一个人,就是卑微到尘埃里,然后开出花来。”
Monsieur, the poor do not need a great deal to live on – they ask only the crumbs of bread which fall from the rich men’s table – but if they are refused these crumbs - they die of hunger - No more do I need a great deal of affection from those I love – I would not know what to do with a whole and complete friendship – I am not accustomed to it – but you showed a little interest in me in days gone by when I was your pupil in Brussels – and I cling to the preservation of this little interest – I cling to it as I would cling on to life.
先生,穷人不需要太多来活命,他们只祈求富人餐桌上掉落的一点面包屑,但如果他们连这点面包屑都被拒绝给予,他们就会饿死。我渴望从我爱之人那里获得的感情也不过如此。一段完整而完满的友情会让我不知所措,我并不习惯于拥有它,但是,如果您对我能表现出哪怕一点点关爱,就像在布鲁塞尔我还是您的学生时那样,我就会紧紧抓住这一点点的关爱,我依附于此,就像我依附于生命。
