Dear Miss Lester:

親愛(ài)的萊斯特小姐：

I hope a few lines will not annoy or embarrass you.

我希望我的話不會(huì)讓你煩惱或?qū)擂巍?/p>

I'm writing, Miss Lester, because I'd like you to know that I am not a common thief.

我寫(xiě)下這些，萊斯特小姐，是因?yàn)槲蚁胱屇阒?，我不是尋常意義上的小偷。

I stole your bag, I want you to know, because I fell in love with you the moment I saw you on the bus.

我想讓你知道，我偷你的包，是因?yàn)槲以诠卉嚿蠈?duì)你一見(jiàn)鐘情。

I could think of no way to become acquainted with you except by acting rashly - foolishly, to be accurate.

我想不出任何辦法來(lái)認(rèn)識(shí)你，除了做出這輕率的——確切地說(shuō)也是愚蠢的舉動(dòng)。

But then, one is a fool when one is in love.

可你知道，戀愛(ài)中的人總是愚蠢的。

I loved the way your lips were so slightly parted.

我愛(ài)上你雙唇微啟的樣子。

You represented the answer to everything to me.

你為我揭開(kāi)了萬(wàn)物的謎底。

I haven't been unhappy since I came to New York four years ago, but neither have I been happy.

自從我四年前來(lái)到紐約，我從來(lái)沒(méi)有不開(kāi)心過(guò)，但也沒(méi)有開(kāi)心過(guò)。

Rather, I can best describe myself as having been one of the thousands of young men in New York who simply exist.

說(shuō)起來(lái)，我和紐約成千上萬(wàn)的年輕人沒(méi)什么區(qū)別，都只是活著罷了。

Loving you is the important thing, Miss Lester.

愛(ài)你是我唯一重要的事，萊斯特小姐。

There are some people who think love is sex and marriage and six o' clock-kisses and children, and perhaps it is, Miss Lester.

有人認(rèn)為愛(ài)是性，是婚姻，是清晨六點(diǎn)的吻，是一堆孩子，也許真是這樣的，萊斯特小姐。

But do you know what I think?

但你知道我怎么想嗎？

I think love is a touch and yet not a touch.

我覺(jué)得愛(ài)是想觸碰又收回的手。

I suppose it's important to a woman that other people think of her as the wife of a man who is either rich, handsome, witty or popular.

我想對(duì)于一個(gè)女人來(lái)說(shuō)，嫁給一個(gè)外人看來(lái)是富有、英俊、聰明或者受歡迎的男人是很重要的。

I'm not even popular. I'm not even hated.

我連受歡迎都談不上。甚至沒(méi)有人討厭我。

I'm just -- I'm just -- Justin Horgenschlag.

我只是--我僅僅是賈斯汀·霍根施拉格。

I never make people gay, sad, angry, or even disgusted.

我從沒(méi)讓人感到愉快、難過(guò)、生氣，哪怕厭煩。

I think people regard me as a nice guy, that's all.

我想人們覺(jué)得我是個(gè)好人，僅此而已。

When I was a child no one pointed me out as being cute or bright or good-looking.

我小時(shí)候從來(lái)沒(méi)人說(shuō)過(guò)我可愛(ài)、陽(yáng)光或是好看。

If they had to say something they said I had sturdy little legs.

如果非得說(shuō)他們說(shuō)過(guò)些什么，他們說(shuō)我的腿雖然短還蠻結(jié)實(shí)的。

I don't expect an answer to this letter, Miss Lester.

我不指望你會(huì)回信，萊斯特小姐。

I would like an answer more than anything else in this world, but truthfully I don't expect one.

雖然你的回信是我在這個(gè)世界上最想要的東西，但坦白說(shuō)我真的不指望。

I merely wanted you to know the truth.

我只想讓你知道實(shí)情。

If my love for you has only led me to a new and great sorrow, only I am to blame.

如果我對(duì)你的愛(ài)只是把我?guī)蛐碌某镣?，那也是我活該?/p>

Perhaps one day you will understand and forgive your blundering admirer.

也許有一天你會(huì)理解并且原諒我這個(gè)笨拙的仰慕者。
