The Last Letter From Your Lover / 情人的最后一封信 / (qínɡrén de zuìhòu yīfēnɡ xìn)

1. I know that you hold my heart, my hopes, in your hands.

我知道你捧着我的心,我的希望。

(wǒ zhīdào nǐ pěnɡzhe wǒde xīn, wǒde xīwànɡ.)

2. I was once told by someone wise that writing is perilous as you cannot always guarantee your words will be read in the spirit in which they were written.

曾经有智者告诉我,写作是危险的,因为你不能总是保证你的文字会以其写作的精神被读懂。

(cénɡjīnɡ yǒu zhìzhě ɡàosù wǒ, xiězuò shì wēixiǎn de, yīnwéi nǐ bùnénɡ zǒnɡshì bǎozhènɡ nǐde wénzì huì yǐqí xiězuò de jīnɡshén bèi dúdǒnɡ.)

3. If all we are allowed is hours. I want to be able to etch each of them on to my memory with exquisite clarity so that I can recall them at moments like this, when my very soul feels blackened.

如果我们只有数小时。那么,我希望能够将它们清晰地刻在我的记忆中,这样我就可以在内心一片漆黑的时刻去想起它们的好。

(rúɡuǒ wǒmén zhīyǒu shù xiǎoshí.nàme,wǒ xīwànɡ nénɡɡòu jiānɡ tāmén qīnɡxī de kèzài wǒde jìyì zhōnɡ, zhèyànɡ wǒ jiù kěyǐ zài nèixīn yīpiàn qīhēi de shíkè qù xiǎnɡqǐ tāmén de hǎo.)

4. To have someone out there who understands you, who desires you, is the most astonishing gift.

有一个理解你,渴望你的人,这是最令人惊讶的礼物。

(yǒu yīɡè lǐjiě nǐ, kěwànɡ nǐ de rén, zhèshì zuì lìnɡrénjīnɡyà de lǐwù.)

5. You can't make someone love you again. No matter how much you might want it.

你不能让不爱你的人再爱你一次。不管你有多渴望。

(nǐ bùnénɡ rànɡ bùàinǐ de rén zài àinǐ yīcì.bùɡuǎn nǐ yǒu duō kěwànɡ.)
