双语：致未来的男朋友

 　　My Dear Future Boyfriend,

　　致亲爱的未来的那个你：

　　I have seen my share of immature¹ first loves and the painful heartbreaks that follow. When I look back now, I feel that I have grown up. I know my priorities in life. I know myself and I am deeply, madly, and passionately² in love with myself.

　　我知道我初恋时的不成熟，我感受到了那种心痛的感觉。现在回首往事的时候，我能感觉到我已经比过去成熟很多了。我清楚自己生活的重心。我了解我自己，我也深深地、狂热地爱我自己。

　　At the moment I don’t want a boyfriend. I don’t want to flaunt³ among my friends because I already have an awesome⁴ life.

　　这一刻我还不想恋爱。现在我的生活还不错，我也不想在我朋友面前显摆。

　　But one day in my future I will need someone. Someone who can complete and compliment me. Someone who trusts me. Someone who understands me. Someone who is as strong as the wind to fight for me. Someone who is as soft as the breeze to calm me. Someone who is just there beside me, with unspoken words, with the unsaid promis to have the best talks in silenc. Someone who share my grievances⁵.

　　但是在将来的某一天我是需要这样一个人的。一个能给我赞美，让我的生活完整起来的人；一个信任我，理解我，能像强风一样保护我，像微风一样轻抚我的人；一个能陪在我身边，即使不说话也能无声胜有声的人；一个能和我分担我的忧伤的人。

　　Will you be the one who stays?

　　你会是那个愿意为我而停留的人吗？

　　I want someone who can forgive me for every fight. Someone who needs me in his life.

　　我希望你是那个在我们每次吵完架之后都能原谅我，生命是因我而完整的人。

　　I want someone who looks beyond the figure and physical appearances and sees my true inner core. Someone who looks me in the eyes and connects with my soul.

　　我希望你能不那么看重外貌和体型，能看见一个最真实的我。我希望你能看着我的眼睛，和我有精神上的交流。

　　Someone who allows me to be stupid and childish. Someone who strengthens me daily before I go to work.

　　我希望那个人可以接受我偶尔的犯傻、偶尔的孩子气；每天上班前能为我加油打气。

　　Together we will define love.

　　我们在一起会有爱的感觉

　　I want someone who can define love in my life. Love – as pure as the snow, as strong as the mountains, as beautiful as the stars twinkling above.

　　我想要的那个你得能和我有爱的感觉。爱---像白雪一样的纯洁，山峰一样的雄伟，天上的星星一样闪亮。

　　I know if he exists, I will meet him at the perfect time and in the perfect way. And I will change into my true self through him and for him. I will be changed. But what I love most is the irony⁶ that he won’t care if I change or stay the same, because he will love me no matter what.

　　如果注定有这样的一个你，我们一定能在最合适的地点，以最佳的方式相遇。我会为你变成我最真实的样子。我会有所改变的。不管我有没有改变我最喜欢的还是你表示不在乎的话语，因为不管怎样你都会爱我。

　　I am happy with my life and with each passing day. I am learning new ways to love myself. I am enjoying being single because it allows me to dream of you while pursuing my own dreams.

　　时间慢慢的流逝，我过得很开心。我正在学着爱自己。我很喜欢现在一个人的生活，因为在我追逐梦想的时候我还能幻想着你的样子。

　　In Love,

　　我在未来爱着你

　　Your Future Girlfriend
