寫給妻子的情書

A Love Letter to My Wife

中文｜阿彤 （Ah Tong）

英譯｜周柯楠 （Zhou Kenan）

我想寫一封情書給你

卻不知從何落筆

I want to write you a love letter

But I don‘t know how to begin

我不能再如少年時驚歎你的美麗

也不能如而立時著迷於你的氣質

I can no longer marvel at your beauty like I was a teenager

Nor can I be fascinated by your temperament like I was 30

鶯啼燕語

那應是春花時節的故事

Orioles’ song and swallows’ words

Should be the story of spring flower season

我想寫一封情書給你

卻忽覺少了些底氣

I want to write you a love letter

But suddenly I feel a little less confident

幾十年風風雨雨的關係

哪能是幾十個優美的文字可以比擬

How can dozens of beautiful words be compared

To the relationship of decades of ups and downs

幾十年朝朝夕夕的夫妻

又豈是一封情書便能表達徹底

The relationship between husband and wife has lasted for decades

Can it be expressed thoroughly by a love letter

生活的詩意

我想還是留作歲月的話題

慢慢長敘

The poetry of life

I think we should keep it as the topic of the years

Talking about it later slowly

倘若一定要寫一封情書給你

我想就這樣開始

If a love letter to you must be written

I think I can start like this

親愛的

春風十里

不及你一寸歡喜

My dear wife

Ten miles of spring breeze

Is not as good as an inch of your joy

鵬程萬里

不及我一生相許

A roc’s flight of thousands of miles

Is not as good as my promise for the rest of my life
