Darling, darling, darling.This is what I have been waiting for
親愛的，我日思夜想，終將成真
your freedom left me dumb and choked up,but now, now, I feel released.
你追求自由，讓我無所適從，但現(xiàn)在我終于解放了
Oh Christopher, my dear, dear man, it is so,so wonderful. You are coming home.
哦，Christopher，親愛的，這太好了，你終于要回家了
Golly, I shall have to be careful, all this excitement is almost too much for my body.
不過我得多加小心，我這身體，已經承受不住太過興奮
You must be careful too, darling,all this on top of what you have been through, it is difficult to keep it down
親愛的，你也要多加小心，你所經歷的種種，很難壓抑
but, you can’t help the excited twinges in your midriff, can you
但是...這消息興奮得令人胃疼不是嗎？
do keep well,angel, I shall have to say that to myself as well.
我的天使，你要保重身體 我也會的
Marriage？my sweet, yes I agree, what you wish, I wish.
結婚？我的甜心，是的，我同意，你的想法就是我的想法
Whilst you are afraid, you will not be happy, we must get rid of these fears between us.
你擔心未來將會不快樂，我們必須擺脫恐懼
Also confidentially, I too am a little scared
偷偷告訴你，我也有點害怕！
everything in letters appears larger than life size
信里的內容似乎都已超越生命的長度
like my photograph, it didn’t show the white hairs beneath the dark
就好像我的照片，看不出白發(fā), 因為藏在黑發(fā)之下
the decaying teeth, the darkening skin
也看不見退化的牙齒，變黑的皮膚
I think of my nasty characteristics, my ordinariness.
想著自己外表平凡，日益丑陋
Yes, I too feel a little afraid.
是的，我也感到有些恐懼
Still I can’t be bothered with that now, for we are going to meet, does anything else matter Chris?
不過，我現(xiàn)在不能為此而煩惱，因為我們即將相見，你覺得這些還重要嗎
Oh dear dear me, plan a week somewhere
親愛的，我們找個地方共度一周吧
bonk, up comes my heart, a week somewhere, by the sea, with you.
想想就很激動，與你去海邊共度一周
