特蕾莎·梅 | 在诺曼底登陆75周年纪念日上朗读二战书信

My darling, this is a very difficult letter for me to write.

亲爱的，这封信着实让我难以下笔。

As you know, something may happen at any moment and I cannot tell when you will receive this.

正如你所知，有些事情随时都可能发生，我也无法确定你什么时候才能收到这封信。

I had hoped to be able to see you during last weekend, but it was impossible to get away and all the things I intended to say must be written.

上周末，我多想见见你啊，可我根本无法脱身，我想对你说的一切都必须以书面形式。

I am sure that anyone with imagination must dislike the thought of what’s coming, but my fears will be more of being afraid than of what can happen to me.

我敢肯定任何有想象力的人一定不喜欢接下来即将发生的事情，但最让我心生恐惧的是那种害怕的形态，而不是自己会遭遇不测。

You and I have had some lovely years which now seemed to have passed at lightning speed. My thoughts at this moment, in this lovely Saturday afternoon, are with you all now.

我们一起走过了如此美好的岁月，那些日子，犹如闪电般，匆匆而逝，疾驰而过。此时此刻，在这个可爱的周六下午，我的心绪全都飘向远方与你在一起。

I can imagine you in the garden having tea with Janey and Anne, getting ready to put them to bed. Although I would give anything to be back with you, I have not yet had any wish at all to back down from the job we have to do.

我能想象到此刻你身在花园，与珍妮和安妮一道啜饮茶点，为她俩铺床叠被，做好睡前准备。即便我愿付出任何代价回到你身边，但我绝无任何意愿从目前这必须完成的工作中抽身退缩。

There is so much that I would like to be able to tell you, nearly all of which you’ve heard many, many times, but just to say that I mean it even more today.

有太多太多的事情我想告诉你，虽然这些话你已经听过很多很多次了。可我只想说今天的我比以往更为认真。

I’m sure that I will be with you again soon and for good. Please give my fondest love to my Anne and my Janey. God bless and keep you all safe for me.

我相信我很快就能和你重聚，永世不分离。请代我向安妮和珍妮问好。愿上帝保佑你们，为我保佑你们平安不受伤害。
