Dear Orchid,

How was life treating you? You must feel extremely startled at the fact that I wrote letter to you. This is the first time that I have written you a letter and maybe it also will be the last time.It has been almost three years since we encountered each other for the first time. We both have changed a lot over the past several years. We could not study and play the way we did in senior three because we were in different corners of the province and we had different dreams.

最近過得如何呀？我給你寫信的舉動(dòng)一定會(huì)讓你大吃一驚吧。這是有史以來第一次給你寫信，而且這有可能是最后一次。自從你我第一次相遇以來已經(jīng)有三年了。在過去的這幾年里，我們倆的變化都很大。由于你我身處在不同的地方，懷揣著不同的理想，我們再也無法像高三那樣一起玩耍一起學(xué)習(xí)了。

In the past two years, I have had little opportunity to meet you or have a sweet chat with you. I once made several attempts to talk to you via , but only to find you replying to me with several holiday words. For quite a long period of time, I was very scared to talk to you via . I really could not put up with the fact that you were always replying to my messages several minutes or even several hours late. Maybe you were too engaged to your study or something else to notice my messages. There were hundred of times when I cleared all the messages which were to send to you. I was constantly asking myself whether I should let go of the past sweet memories that you created for me in senior three and not to get involved in your life any more. But the fact was that I could not be able to do that.

在過去的兩年里，我很少有機(jī)會(huì)跟你碰面，甚至很少跟你進(jìn)行貼心般的交談。我曾幾度想通過和你聊聊，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)你只不過是隨便地跟我說了幾句客套話而已。有很長一段時(shí)間，我害怕跟你用聊天。你要么過好幾分鐘要么過好幾個(gè)小時(shí)才回復(fù)我的消息的行為讓我實(shí)在難以忍受?；蛟S你太忙于學(xué)習(xí)或其它的事以至于忽略了我的信息。曾有無數(shù)回，我清除了已經(jīng)寫好了并打算發(fā)給你的信息。我時(shí)常問著自己是否應(yīng)不應(yīng)該忘記那些你帶給我的美好回憶，并以后不再過多地涉入你的生活。但是我卻始終無法做到。

You made a big difference to my life when we were striving for our dreams in senior three. There was a secret I had hidden deeply in my heart for a long time,but I want you to know it now. It is about my first love. I once had a big crush on Qiu Ting and wrote her a love letter. To my great sorrow, she did not wrote back to me and gradually started to get detached from me. I knew she had refused me and in a way that a boy could be totally refused. I was always forcing myself to be strong and trying to forget her by devoting myself fully to my study. You can not imagine how hard it was to really get her out of my mind and be committed to my study. There was a period of time, I had no idea of what to do and how to live tomorrow. I looked very calm and happy, but nobody could feel the sadness behind it. But gradually I did know what to do and how to live tomorrow because of you. I was greatly influenced by your optimistic attitude,healthy mindset and strong enterprising spirit. You were always struggling hard for your study and your dreams. I regain the confidence to study well and the right mindset to live well. I determined to get close to you and learn from you. It gradually became a habit for me to exchange my thoughts on study with you. Playing and studying with you brought and taught me a lot.( 文章閱讀網(wǎng)：www.sanwen.net )

在那個(gè)你我都為夢想而奮斗的高三歲月中，你對我的人生起了極大的作用。有一個(gè)秘密已經(jīng)在我心底里隱藏了很久了，但是現(xiàn)在我希望你能了解它。它涉及到我的初戀。我曾一度迷戀上了邱婷，并給她寫了一封情書。讓我極為傷心的是，她不但沒有回復(fù)我甚至還漸漸的疏遠(yuǎn)我。我知道她其實(shí)已經(jīng)拒絕了我，而且是徹徹底底地拒絕了一個(gè)男孩。我曾一直強(qiáng)迫自己一定要變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)起來，要通過全身心地投入到學(xué)習(xí)中來試圖忘記她。你無法想象放下她和真正投入到學(xué)習(xí)中對我來說是多么困難的一件事。曾有那么一段時(shí)間，我對于明天該做什么、該如何生活毫無頭緒。我看上去很淡定、很快樂，可沒人會(huì)知道藏在其后的悲傷。因?yàn)槟?，我知道自己以后明天該做什么以及該如何去度過。你積極的生活態(tài)度、健康的人生心態(tài)以及強(qiáng)烈的拼搏精神都極大地感染了我。你一直都在為你的學(xué)習(xí)和夢想不停地奮斗者。我重拾了學(xué)好的信心以及活好的心態(tài)。我決定接近你并以你為榜樣。與你交流學(xué)習(xí)心得逐漸成為了我的一個(gè)習(xí)慣。與你共同玩耍和學(xué)習(xí)，帶給了我許多也教會(huì)我許多東西。

Every time when I recalled those beautiful memories at night, You were always showing up in my dreams. In the dreams, you were so close to me. In reality, you were so far away from me. I knew that there were two decisions for me to make. One is to tell you nothing about how I feel of you, another is to express my love to you.I chose to tell you bravely in order to not feel regretful in the future. As a matter of fact, I was quite clear of what would happen. Just several days before the lunar year, I confessed to you and it turned out to be exactly as what I thought. I will not lie to you that I was not sad at all after being turned down by you. It was much painful than the previous refusal made by Qiu Ting. It was also quite different from the first one because you replied to me and in a way that a boy could be really persuaded. To be frank, I really can not match you. I am too thin, too short and too weak to give a you a sense of safety. Most importantly, I am an idiot of love. I can never know how to show my love to a girl and how to make a girl have the reason to love me.

每一次當(dāng)我晚上回憶起這些美好的記憶時(shí)，你都會(huì)出現(xiàn)在我的夢中。在夢中，你離我是如此的近；在現(xiàn)實(shí)中，你卻離我是如此的遠(yuǎn)。我知道我有兩個(gè)選擇：一是不讓你知道我對你的愛，而是向你表白。為了不給未來增添遺憾，我選擇了勇敢地向你表白。事實(shí)上，我清楚地知道結(jié)果會(huì)是如何。就在農(nóng)歷新年的前幾天的一個(gè)晚上，我向你表了白而且結(jié)果與我料想的一樣。我不想謊說我在被你拒絕后一點(diǎn)兒也不難過。它比之前被邱婷拒絕還有痛苦得多。它其實(shí)跟第一次的截然不同，因?yàn)槟阋砸环N有說服力的方式答復(fù)了我。坦白的說，我卻是配不上你。我長的又矮又瘦有嬌弱，是無法給你帶來安全感的。最重要的是，我是愛情的白癡。我永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)懂得如何去向一個(gè)女孩表達(dá)自己愛，也完全找不到可以讓女孩愛上我的理由。

I was quite clear of what will happen if you turn me down. It does not only mean that I have lost your love, but also mean that I have lost your friendship. You told me that you would still treat me as a good friend and hoped me to do the same.I did try to do that,but I found it didn't work.I found that you gave me little opportunity to regard you as a friend.Experience tells me that we can not and will not be friends like before.I once tried to maintain my friendship with Qiu Ting after being refused by her,but found I got nothing but pain and hatred no matter what I did.I do not know how long our present friendship can still last but I know how it will end.Although I do not want to witness that day,that day will eventually come.All the factors of happiness you bought to me will be all the reasons accounting for my future deep sorrow. Maintaining our friendship is bound to hurt both of us. I know how entangled and embarrassed you will be if you still treat me as your friend when you have already had a boyfriend. I do not want to see you do that.Before I confessed to you,We did not talked too much and met too frequent like a normal friend.It will make no difference for us to try not to be friends because we actually were not acting like friends for a long time.I should really not get involved in your life any more.

我清楚地知道被你拒絕后會(huì)發(fā)生些什么。它不僅僅意味著我失去了你的愛，還意味著我已經(jīng)失去了你的友誼。你告訴我你會(huì)依然把我當(dāng)好朋友看待并希望我也能繼續(xù)把你當(dāng)好朋友看待。我也的確嘗試過那樣做，但卻發(fā)現(xiàn)根本不起作用。我發(fā)現(xiàn)你根本就沒怎么給我把你當(dāng)朋友的機(jī)會(huì)。經(jīng)驗(yàn)告訴我，我們倆再也不可能再像以前那樣成為好朋友了。在被邱婷拒絕后，我曾努力地試過去繼續(xù)維持我們倆的友誼，可最后無論我怎么做，得到的只是痛苦與恨意。我不知道我們的友誼很能維持多久，但我知道它將會(huì)以怎樣的方式結(jié)束。雖然我不希望看到你一天的到來，但是它最終還是會(huì)來的。你帶給我的所有的快樂的因素都將會(huì)成為解釋我日后悲傷的理由。繼續(xù)維系我們的友誼最后一定傷了你我雙方。我能夠理解你將會(huì)有多糾結(jié)、多尷尬，當(dāng)你明明有了男朋友卻還要試著去把我當(dāng)好朋友對待。我不希望看到你那么做！在沒向你表白之前，你我也沒有像正常的朋友那樣談過話見過面。就算你我不再做朋友了也不會(huì)有什么差別，因?yàn)槲液芫镁蜎]像朋友一樣了做過朋友間會(huì)做的事了。我真的不應(yīng)該再牽涉到你的生活中了！

I now have a strong feeling that I am going to lose you someday.I have to make the decision to end our current friendship in person because I do not want you to do it someday instead.I also know you will not do that for the time being,but you will have to do it someday not too long from now. I have already experienced the pain of losing someone I love.I really hope I can never experience it again.You can never know how painful I am to decide to let go of you first.I felt heartbroken but did not cry when I knew I was turned down by Qiu Ting.Maybe that is actually not true love for me. It was a quite different story when I was turned down by you.I did not only felt heartbroken but also shed tears When I received you refusal message.I have seldom seen myself crying over the last two decades, but I had a big cry on that night.I tried to comfort myself and told myself that it was no big deal because it is not my first time to be refused. The more I tried to comfort myself with such words, the much painful I felt in my heart.From that night I knew that I have fallen so deep in you.

我現(xiàn)在有著一種強(qiáng)烈的預(yù)感，我總有一天將會(huì)失去你。我不得我親自作出跟你絕交的決定，因?yàn)槲也幌肟吹侥隳骋惶爝@么做。我已經(jīng)嘗過失去摯愛的人的痛苦了，我真的不想再一次去嘗試。你或許不會(huì)知道最先地放棄你對我來說是多么痛苦的一件事情。在被邱婷拒絕我后，我只是感到心痛但卻沒有流淚?；蛟S對我來說，那不算是真愛。被你拒絕卻是截然不同的故事。當(dāng)我收到你拒絕我信息時(shí)，我不僅感到心痛更是流過淚。二十多年來我很少流淚，但是那晚我卻痛哭了。我試著安慰自己并告訴自己沒什么大不了，因?yàn)槟怯植皇俏业谝淮伪痪芙^。我越是用這樣的話安慰自己，我的心也就越痛。從那一晚起我就知道了我原來是如此地愛上了你。

I once told myself how amazing it would be if you said yes,but that was not fact.I also told myself that I should keep my love for you and never let go until I get your good answer,but I doubt myself whether that day will come or not. After all,I could not find myself having any reasons of letting you have the same feeling for me.Thus,I am determined to stop dreaming and make the hard choice.I will get you completely out of my heart in the way I forget Qiu Ting.I will be strong, optimistic and enterprising in the days ahead.I am fully confident that I can make it soon because I succeeded one time!Time will heal everything!Everything will be all right in the end!

我曾告訴自己要是你說行那該多好呀，可事實(shí)卻并非如此。我也曾告訴自己應(yīng)該保留對你的愛并永不放棄直至收到你的好消息，但是我卻懷疑那一天是否會(huì)到來。畢竟，我已經(jīng)找不到可以讓你愛我的理由了。所以，我決定停止做夢并作出那個(gè)艱難的決定。我會(huì)徹底地放下你就像放下邱婷一樣。我會(huì)變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)起來、樂觀起來并且在以后的日子里進(jìn)取起來。我堅(jiān)信我可以做的因?yàn)槲易龅竭^一次！時(shí)間會(huì)治愈一切的！萬事都會(huì)好起來的！

I am really grateful to you for telling me directly how you feel of me and I would like to thank you for still regarding as your good friends. I really hope you can always be happy when you are with you boyfriend. I hope there will not be too much conflict between you two. Your birthday is just around the corner. It shames me to say I am not able to celebrate your birthday .The only thing that I can do is to say “Happy Birthday to You”in advance via this letter.

我非常感激你能夠直接告訴我你對我的感受以及還想著把我當(dāng)做你的朋友。我希望你和他在一起時(shí)能夠快樂并沒什么沖突。你的生日即將來臨，我遺憾地說我恐怕不能慶祝你的生日了。我唯一能做的就是提前通過這封信向你說聲：“生日快樂！”

May everything be good with you!

愿一切都安好！

May you can be happy all the time!

愿時(shí)刻都快樂！

May you can still be strong,optimistic and enterprising.

愿你也能仍然堅(jiān)強(qiáng)、樂觀并有進(jìn)取心!
