佚名/Anonymous
Please, my dear husband, be so generous as to let me have a little world of my own. If you find me scrawling on a piece of paper, please don't peep over my shoulders. It may be that I’m venting some pent-up feelings, long denied expression, or trying to compose a little poem not yet presentable for the time being, or attempting to sketch out something visualized from my childhood memories which glows in my mind like a rainbow. When I am in such a mood, please leave me alone and let me write as the pen dictates.
Don’t disturb me, my dear, when I get nostalgic over some old photos or letters which bring tears to my eyes or smiles on my lips, for those were things that had happened to me before I met you, the joys and sorrows, partings and reunions that taste like green olive or glitter like scattered pearl. They are my cherished memories which, ready as I am to share with you, I would like to indulge in by myself for a while.
I hope you won’t mind when I go without you for a nice chat with a close friend of mine. You are my bosom friend, but you cannot take the place of other friends any more than they can do yours, l need their care, encouragement and sobering criticism just as I do yours. A starless sky with a solitary moon would be dull and cheerless, why not let there be a moonlit night resplendent with twinkling stars?
I may occasionally want to make a tour of faraway places. Please, don't hold me back when I start packing for it. You are the center of my life, but certainly not the whole of it. I yearn to see the mysteries and wonders of the world miles away beyond the mountains;so let me have a chance to explore my“Alice’s Wonderland”as a“long ranger”.Some time later when I come back to you with exotic experiences and fresh insights, I'm sure you will look at me in a new light.
My dear husband, so long as you let me have such a little, little world, I’ll be very much indebted to you.
亲爱的丈夫，请你慷慨地让我拥有一个属于自己的小小世界。如果你发现我在一张纸上乱写乱画，请不要在身后偷偷窥视。我可能只是在发泄一些被压抑的情感，它们长期没有机会倾诉；或者我正试着构思一首小诗，只是现在还羞于见人；或者我在试着描绘一些童年记忆中的影像，它们像彩虹般在我的脑海中熠熠生辉。当我沉浸在这样的心境中，请让我一人独处，任由自己信笔涂鸦。
亲爱的，请不要打扰我。当我对着一些老照片或书信沉思默想、啼笑皆非时，眼里会饱含泪水或嘴角挂着微笑，因为那些都是我遇到你之前发生的事。有欢乐，也有忧伤；有离别，也有相聚，如同咀嚼一枚青涩的橄榄，也如同散落的珍珠闪闪发光。它们都珍藏在我的记忆深处，尽管我愿意与你分享，但我更希望独自徜徉其中。
当我独自外出，与一位挚友聊天时，希望你不要介意。你是我最亲密的朋友，但你不能取代我其他朋友的位置，正如他们也不能取代你一样。就像我对你的需要一样，我也需要他们的关心、鼓励和友善的批评。夜空中，如果只有孤寂的月亮，而没有群星闪耀，会是一片沉闷，了无生气，为何不让闪耀的月光和璀璨的群星交相辉映呢？
偶尔，我可能想去一个遥远的地方旅行。当我开始收拾行装时，请不要阻拦我。你是我生命的重心，但不是全部。我渴望去看遥远的山那边的神秘和惊奇。所以，请让我有机会像一个“独行侠”一样，去探索我的“爱丽丝仙境”。不久以后，我会回到你的身边，带着奇特的经历和新颖的见地，我想你定会用全新的目光来看待我。
亲爱的丈夫，只要你能让我拥有这样一个小小的世界，我会对你感激不尽。
心灵小语
爱情，不应该是捆绑，应该是放手，抓得越紧，流失越快；相反，彻底松开，才能获得永远。
