Dear friends,

亲爱的朋友：

Hello! I really hope that this letter finds you in good spirits as we navigate our way through this truly surreal crisis, where upheaval and uncertainty are daily realities, but so, thankfully, is the totally inspiring self-sacrifice, together nurse courage, generosity and camaraderie that people are exhibiting.

你们好！我希望此刻读信的各位一切安好，我们正在梦魇般的危机里摸索前路，每日都要面对动荡且变幻莫测的现实。但万幸的是，我们看到人们身上展现出令人鼓舞的精神，忘我牺牲，亲密合作，慷慨无畏，同舟共济。

And we at letters live are looking for a way to celebrate that through our favorite medium of...the letter. So since two thousand thirteen or twenty thirteen, depending on the readers choice. We add letters life have been inviting performers from all disciplines, journalism, writers, actors, directors... to bring letters to life in memorable venues around the world.

因此，我们见信如晤想赞扬这些闪光的品质，通过我们最喜欢的方式——信。从两千一三年开始，或者叫2013年，怎么读看个人喜好，我们见信如晤一直在邀请来自各行各业的人，记者，作家，演员，导演等，在世界各地为大家现场读信，给大家留下难忘的记忆。

That ain't happening at the moment. But with our read a letter campaign, we're opening the stage wider than ever before to include you the world. We want to hear from you. we want to hear you read letters. 

现在，我们不能一起读信了。但是与“读一封信”活动一道，我们的舞台正变得空前广阔，整个世界都是我们的舞台。我们想听你的心声，我们想听你读信。

They can be letters to the heroes on the front line. They could be letters to relatives in need. They could be letters to strangers who have stepped up and made a difference. They could be letters to neighboring families or streets or towns or countries. They could be letters to teachers, to their isolating pupils. Or to the parents who now find themselves homeschooling. They can be letters to those in power letters to a population crying out for words of comfort.

这些信可以使写给前线奋战的英雄们的；可以是写给在危难关头的亲友们的；可以是写给挺身而出，做出贡献的陌生人的；可以是写给你的邻居们的；可以是写给一街，一城，一国的人们的；可以是写给老师或是隔离在家的学生们的；可以是写给没料到要辅导孩子功课的家长们的；可以是写给当权者的，也可以是写给渴盼这宽慰之语的人们的。

You could record yourself reading an important letter you have always wanted to send, or a cherished letter you once received. It could be a favorite letter of yours that offers hope in our chronic crisis, or a prescient warning too important to be ignored. It may simply be a favorite of yours that will help to brighten everyone's day. And I'm obliged to say that if you're not reading your own letter, please do ask the letter Right permission.

你可以录制自己读信的视频，一封你一直想寄出的，有意义的信，或是你收到的异常珍贵的信；也可以是你最喜欢的，能在现在的危机时刻给我们带来希望的信；或是有先见之明的箴言，分量太重不容忽视；也可以单纯就是一封你喜欢的，能为大家的日子带来一抹亮色的信。但我要说明，如果你读的不是自己写的信，请一定要征得写信人的许可。

So all you need to do is this: film yourself reading a letter, use your phone just as I am, in portrait mode. If you're camera shy, quite understand it, even though my day job would say otherwise. Point your phone at something else while you read. It could be the letter itself, the view from your window, your adorable dog...

所以你要做的很简单，即录制自己读信的视频，像我这样拿手机，调成人像模式就行。如果你害怕上镜，我们也很能理解，虽然我的工作就是跟镜头打交道。在你读信的时候把你的镜头对着别的东西就行，可以是你在读的信，可以是窗外的景色，也可以是你可爱的狗狗。

Before you read the letter, tell us who it's to and who it's from, and if you can tell us why you have chosen it. Post the video to Twitter or Instagram or whichever corner of the

internet you were frequent, remembering to include the #readaletter, and tag @letterslive, so that we can then share your reading.

在读信之前，告诉我们收信人和写信人是谁，如果可以的话，也告诉我你为什么选择了这封信。把读信的视频发到推特或者ins上，或者是你经常光顾的网站上。记得加上话题标签#readaletter，并且标记用户@letterslive，这样我们就能分享你读信的视频了。

OK, alternatively we don't use social media, then you can send the clip to read@letterslive.com, so we can share the letter for you. Spread the word by nominating another person to write a letter. That's it. It's really that simple.

如果你不用社交媒体的话也行，你可以把你的视频发送至邮箱read@letterslive.com，我们会帮你分享。记得可以指定别人写信来推广这个活动，就这样，很简单吧。

Thank you in advance for taking part, and all of the remains from these write and read is: stay connected, stay safe, stay at home.

提前感谢你的参与，以及我想说：保持联系，平安无恙，好好宅家。

All our very best,

最诚挚的祝愿，

Benedict and the entire letters my family.
