考研英語作文:一封絕妙的情書

There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl, but disliked by the girl’s father, who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl, yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl:
　　My love for you I once expressed
　　 no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
　　 is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
　　 I even won’t like that look yours.
　　I’ll do nothing but
　　 look away from you. You can never expect I’ll
　　 marry you. The last chat we had
　　 was so dull and dry that you shouldn’t think it
　　 made me eager to see you again.
　　 If we get married, I firmly believe I’ll
　　 live a hard life, I can never
　　 live happily with you, I’ll devote myself
　　but not
　　 to you. No one else is more
　　harsh and selfish and least
　　 solicitous and considerate than you.
　　 I sincerely want to let you know
　　 what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
　　 ending our relations and refrain from
　　 writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
　　 things which displease me. You have no
　　 sincere care for me. So long! Please believe
　　 I don’t love you any longer. Don’t think
　　 I still have a love of you!
　　 Having read the letter, the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.
　　 The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully, her lad still had a deep love for her.
　　 Do you know why? In fact, she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and , at last, she found the key – only every other line should be read, that is the first line, the third, the fifth … and so on to the end.

　　一個(gè)小伙子非常愛一位姑娘，但姑娘的父親卻不喜歡他，也不讓他們的愛情發(fā)展下去。小伙子很想給姑娘寫封情書，然而他知道姑娘的父親會(huì)先看，于是他給姑娘寫了這樣一封信：
　　我對你表達(dá)過的愛已經(jīng)消逝。我對你的厭惡與日俱增。當(dāng)我看到你時(shí)我甚至不喜歡你的那副樣子。我想做的一件事就是把目光移往別處，我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)和你結(jié)婚。我們的最近一次談話枯燥乏味，因此無法使我渴望再與你想見。假如我們結(jié)婚，我深信我將生活得非常艱難，我也無法愉快地和你生活在一起，我要把我的心奉獻(xiàn)出來，但決不是奉獻(xiàn)給你。沒有人能比你更苛求和自私，也沒有人比你更關(guān)心我?guī)椭摇Ｎ艺鎿吹匾忝靼?，我講的是真話，請你助我一臂之力結(jié)束我們之間的關(guān)系，別試圖答復(fù)此信，你的信充滿著使我興趣索然的事情，懷有對我的真誠關(guān)心。再見，請相信我并不喜歡你，請你不要以為我仍然愛著你！
　　姑娘的父親看了這封信以后，非常高興地把信給了姑娘。姑娘看罷信也非?？鞓?，小伙子依然愛著她。你知道她為什么高興嗎？其實(shí)，她初讀時(shí)非常憂傷，但她怎么也不相信那是他的真心話，于是她又默讀了幾遍，終于，她清楚了該怎樣讀法。只能一、三、五行如此類推，直到信的結(jié)尾.
