5. Talk about the difference he or she has made in your life.
谈谈他对你人生带来的改变。
Naturally, your life has changed for the better since you met the person to whom you are writing, and you’ll want to share this information in your love letter. This is not the place to mention any past loves, since that part of your life is over (and hopefully done with). You do want to share how much richer and fulfilling your life is now that your special someone is part of it.
显然,在你遇见他/她时,你的人生已经变美好了,你会想在你的情书中与之分享这个信息。这里不能提及任何前男女友,因为那部分生活已经结束了(希望如此)。你确实需要与之分享的是:当某人出现在你生活中时,你的生活变得多么丰富和满意。
6. Choose the right stationery for your letter.
选择合适的信纸。
Since a love letter is not a standard piece of correspondence, you don’t necessarily want to write it on plain paper. Pay a visit to a store and look for some special paper in a favorite color or style that will set it apart. Don’t forget to buy an envelope, too. You’ll have to decide whether you want to hand-deliver your letter, mail it, or leave it somewhere for your beloved to find. Another option is to arrange for your letter to be delivered by a courier company, which means you will be sure that it reaches your beloved on a particular day.
由于情书不是标准意义的书信,你不需要在素色的纸上写它。去商店看看,买一点喜爱的颜色或样式的特别的纸。别忘了也要买个信封。你需要决定是否亲自送你的信,是寄出去或者留在你心爱的人能找到的地方。另一个选择是把你的信交给一个快递公司,这将确保它能在特定的一天抵达。
7. Pen and paper is best for short notes.
短情书最好使用笔和纸。
If you are writing a short love letter, then do pick up a pen and paper. Not everyone has good penmanship skills, and if you are going to be writing a letter that is several pages in length, you can do your composing in a keyboard. The advantage of this option is that you can edit and move your text around if you don’t like the way you have written it in your first draft.
如果你在写一个短情书,请用笔和纸。并不是所有人都有很好的书法,如果你打算写好几页很长的情书,你可以用电脑打稿。这种选择的好处是,如果你不满意你的初稿,你可以编辑或删除你的文字。
8. Choose a romantic font.
选择浪漫的字体。
If you decide to use your keyboard to compose your love letter, be sure to change your font. Now is not the time to stick to a standard business font like Times New Roman 12 or Helvetica Regular 12. Experiment with the fonts in your word processing program to find one that you like and that fits the occasion.
如果你想用电脑来写情书,记得更改你的字体。现在不是使用标准商务字体例如12号Times New Roman或者12号Helvetica Regular的时候。在你处理文字的过程中可以尝试使用不同的字体,来找到你最喜欢的最应景的字体。
9. Write your letter and let it sit for a day or two before sending.
写完信后过一两天再寄出去。
Love letters are, by definition, highly emotional exercises. Read what you have written before sending it to your beloved after you have had some time to digest it. If you are happy with the results, send it.
按照定义我们就能看出,情书是情感的高度体现。在寄给你爱的人前,读几遍你写的东西,这样你有时间消化它。如果你对结果很满意,就把情书寄出去吧。
10. Your letter doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
并不是完美的才有意义。
No one is looking for perfection in a love letter. Just write what is in your heart, and you’ll be using exactly the right language.
没有人会渴望完美的情书。仅仅写一下你心里的想法,你就会找到最合适的语言。 |
