情人欲绝交函

February 15, 2005
Dear John,
I really don’t know how to begin this letter. Writing it is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve been doing some thinking lately. As you yourself said, three more years is a long time and, well, I really don’t think it’s good for either one of us to expect the other to wait so long. In other words, I think you should go ahead and date other people and I will do the same.
I still care about you, but we are too far apart. Also, I’ve decided to stay in America for the summer, so it will be a very long time before I’ll see you again. I think it’s better for both of us to be free.
Love,
Joy

亲爱的约翰：
我真的不知道如何下笔写这封信。写这封信是我所经历过必须做的最困难事情之一。我最近一直想一些事情。你自己曾说，三年是一段漫长的时间，而且，嗯，我真的不觉得期待对方等待这么久对我们任何一方是好的。换句话说，我想你应该放手去和别人约会，而我也会这么做。
我仍然在乎你，但是我们相隔太远了。我也已经决定暑假要留在美国，所以再见到你会是很久以后的事了。我想恢复自由身对我们两个都比较好。
爱你的　　　　
乔依　敬上
