Please,my dear ,be so generous as to let me have a little world of my own.If you find mescrawling on a piece of paper, please don't peep over my shoulders.It may be that I'mventing some pent-up feelings,long dennied expression,or trying to compose a little poem not yet presentable for a time being,or attempting to sketch out something visualized ron mychildhood memories which glowsing my minf like a rainbow.When I am in such a mood,Please leave me along and let me write as the pen dictates. Don’t disturb me, my dear, when I get nostalgic over some old photos or letters which bring tears to my eyes or smiles on my lips, for those were things that had happened to me before I met you, the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions that taste like green olive or glitter like scattered pearls. They are my cherished memories which, ready as I am to share with you, I would like to indulge in by myself for a while.
I hope you won’t mind when I go without you for a nice chat with a close friend of mine. You are my bosom friend, but you cannot take the place of other friends any more than they can do yours. I need their care, encouragement and sobering criticism just as I do yours. A starless sky with a solitary moon would be dull and cheerless, why not let there be a moonlit night resplendent with twinkling stars.
I may occasionally want to make a tour of faraway places. Please don’t hold me back when I start picking for it. You are the center of my life, but certainly not the whole of it. I yearn to see the mysteries and wonders of the world miles away beyond the mountains; So let me have a chance to explore my “Alice’s Wonderland” as a “lone ranger”. Some time later when I come back to you with exotic experiences and fresh insights, I’m sure you will look at me in a new light.
My dear , so long as you let me have such a little, little world, I’ll be very much indebted to you.
給我一個(gè)小小的世界
親愛(ài)的男朋友,請(qǐng)大度地給我一個(gè)小小的世界。當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)我在紙上胡涂亂寫(xiě)的時(shí)候,請(qǐng)不要在我身后窺視。我或許在發(fā)泄某種壓抑在心中長(zhǎng)期未訴說(shuō)的情緒,或是在設(shè)法構(gòu)思一首暫時(shí)還羞于見(jiàn)人的小詩(shī),或是在試圖勾勒某件依然在我腦際像彩虹般閃著光彩的童年往事。或是處于這樣的心境時(shí),請(qǐng)別管我,請(qǐng)讓我信筆馳騁。
當(dāng)我對(duì)著昔日的照片和書(shū)信沉思、垂淚或微笑,懷舊之情油然而生的時(shí)候,我親愛(ài)的,請(qǐng)不要打擾我。因?yàn)槟切┱掌蜁?shū)信記錄著我遇到你之前所經(jīng)歷的一些事兒----那些悲歡離合如同青色的橄欖一樣酸澀,像散落的珍珠閃閃發(fā)光。這些是珍藏于我心中的回憶,盡管我愿意和你共同分享,但我還是想獨(dú)自沉浸與這些往事中,品味一番,細(xì)數(shù)一陣。
當(dāng)我一個(gè)人出去同我的一位摯友聊天時(shí),希望你不要介意。你是我的知己,但你不能代替我的其他朋友,正像我需要你這么做一樣。沒(méi)有星星點(diǎn)綴而只有月亮高懸的夜空多么清寂,請(qǐng)讓我擁有一個(gè)群星閃耀、月光皎潔、交相輝映的美好夜空吧!
我也許偶爾想去遠(yuǎn)處旅游一番。當(dāng)我開(kāi)始打包裝箱整裝待發(fā)時(shí),請(qǐng)不要阻擋我。你是我生活的世界的中心,但并不是我的整個(gè)世界。我渴望看看群山之外遙遠(yuǎn)世界的神奇奇觀,請(qǐng)讓我有機(jī)會(huì)作為“獨(dú)行俠”去探索我的“愛(ài)麗絲仙境”。過(guò)些時(shí)候,當(dāng)我?guī)е娈惖慕?jīng)歷和新的領(lǐng)悟力滿載而歸時(shí),我相信你一定會(huì)對(duì)我刮目相看。
親愛(ài)的男朋友,如果你能給我這樣一個(gè)小小的世界,我會(huì)對(duì)你充滿深深的感激。
