情书一则 August 3, 2005
Dearest Michael,It’s only been four days since you went to Tokyo, but it seems like it’s been four years.I miss you so much already.I know you had to go, but I wish you could stay here in Taiwan all of the time.Why can’t you ask your company to assign you here permanently? Then we could be together all the time.I still manage to get up and go to work every day, but everything seems so meaningless without you here.Even when I go to my favorite restaurant for lunch, the food seems tasteless.I want you here with me.Hurry back.I can’t survive for long without you.Hugs and kisses,Jenny
最亲爱的麦可:
你到东京才四天,但好象已经过了四年。我已经非常想念你。我知道你不得不去,可是我希望你能一直待在台湾这里。你为什么不能要求你的公司将你永久派驻在这里呢?那样的话,我们就可以永远在一起了。我每天仍会想办法起床、上班,但你不在这里,一切似乎都毫无意义。甚至连到我最喜欢的餐厅吃午餐,我都觉得食不下咽。我希望你和我在这里。快点回来吧。没有你我会活不下去。
想抱你吻你的珍妮 敬上
