一個男人最後的溫柔【Garry 給Holly最後的那封信以及Holly的回信】

Dear Holly,

I don』t have much time. I don』t mean literally, I mean you』re out buying ice cream and you』ll be home soon. But I have a feeling this is the last letter, because there is only one thing left to tell you. It isn』t to go down memory lane or make you buy a lamp, you can take care of yourself without any help from me. It’s to tell you how much you move me, how you changed me. You made me a man, by loving me Holly. And for that, I am eternally grateful... literally. If you can promise me anything, promise me that whenever you』re sad, or unsure, or you lose complete faith, that you』ll try to see yourself through my eyes. Thank you for the honor of being my wife. I』m a man with no regrets. How lucky I am! You made my life, Holly. But I』m just one chapter in yours. There』ll be more. I promise. So here it comes, the big one. Don』t be afraid to fall in love again. Watch out for that signal, when life as you know it ends.

 P.S. I will always love you

親愛的霍莉，我的時間不多。可能有點詞不達意，我的意思是，你出去買雪糕，很快就會回來。但是我感覺這是最後一封信，因為只剩下一件事要對你說了。而這件事不是要你去回憶我們的過往，也不是要你去買一盞檯燈——沒有我，你能照顧好你自己——而是我要告訴你，你讓我莫名感動，你改變了我。霍莉，你的愛讓我成為一名男人。我會永遠感激你……永遠。我要你答應我一件事，答應我無論什麼時候你難過了，迷茫了，失去信心了，你一定要站在我的角度看你自己。感謝你做了我的妻子，我今生無憾。我真幸運!你成就了我，霍莉!可我只是你人生的一個章節，我保證後面的故事會更長。所以如果故事的高潮部份到來，不要怕，再投入地愛一次!當你知道人生快要結束的時候，要注意那些暗示。附註：我永遠愛你!

=================我是回信的分割線======================

Dear Gerry,

 you said you wanted me to fall in love again, and maybe one day I will. But there are all kinds of love out there. This is my one and only life, and it’s a great and terrible and short and endless thing, and none of us come out of it alive. I don』t have a plan. Except, it’s time my mom laughed again. She has never seen the world. She has never seen Ireland. So, I』m taking her back where we started. Maybe now she』ll understand. I don』t know how you did it, but you brought me back from the dead. I』ll write to you again soon.

 P.S... Guess what?

親愛的蓋瑞，你說你希望我再投入地愛一次，也許有一天我會的，可是愛有很多種，而這次是我一生中惟一的一次，美好、糟糕、短暫、永無止境的一次，我們誰都沒法活著走出來。我媽媽再次開懷大笑的時候，我才有了新計劃。她從沒環遊過世界，從沒見過愛爾蘭，因此我要帶她回到我們倆開始的地方。也許她現在會明白。我不知道你是怎麼做到的，但是你讓我起死回生了。不久我還會給你寫信。附註……猜猜會是什麼?
