Why do I not write to you?
為什么我沒有給你寫信？
And you, a learned man, ask me this?
你，憑你的學(xué)識，居然會問我這個問題？
You should be clever enough to guess that I am in a happy mood because in a wood I have made an acquaintance who moves my heart in a strange way.
你準(zhǔn)能猜到，我一切都很好；因?yàn)椋唵握f吧，我認(rèn)識了一個人，她緊緊地牽動著我的心。
I have…I do not know.
我已經(jīng)…我也不知道自己怎么啦。
It is not easy for me to tell you, in chronological order just how it happened, how I met such a lovely being.
我很難把這事的經(jīng)過有條不紊地告訴你，我認(rèn)識了一位最最可愛的人。
I am contented and happy, and therefore not a good historian.
我現(xiàn)在感覺既快樂又幸福，所以不能把事情很客觀地寫出來。
An angel! Nonsense!
一位天使！不用說！
Everyone calls his loved one thus, does he not?
誰談起自己的意中人都會這么說，不是嗎？
And yet I cannot describe to you how perfect she is, or why she is so perfect; enough to say that she has captured me completely.
可是我卻無法向你描述她是多么完美，以及她為什么會那么完美；一句話，她已經(jīng)把我整個心都俘獲了。
So much innocence combined with so much intelligence; such kindness with such firmness; such inner serenity in such an active life.
她那么淳樸，又那么聰明；那么善良，又那么堅定；那么辛苦，內(nèi)心又那么充滿寧靜。
But all this is foolish talk pure abstract words which fail to describe one single feature of her real person.
但所有這些全都是令人討厭的空泛之詞，絲毫反映不出她真實(shí)的樣子。
Another time no, not another time, right at this moment will tell you everything.
下次，不，不是下次，我現(xiàn)在就要立即告訴你。
If I do not do it now, it will never be done.
要是現(xiàn)在不在說，那就永遠(yuǎn)不會說了。
Because between you and me since I began this letter I have been three times on the point of laying down my pen, having my horse saddled and riding out to her.
因?yàn)椋f心里話，從開始寫這封信到現(xiàn)在，我已經(jīng)有三次想擱下筆，打算讓人給馬備好鞍，騎馬出去找她了。
Although I swore to myself this morning not to do it, I am going every other moment to the window to see how high the sun has climbed.
今天早晨我還發(fā)誓不這樣做，可我還是時不時地跑到窗前，看看太陽已經(jīng)爬到多高了。
I could not bear it any longer; I had to see her.
我無法控制自己，我還是去了她那兒。
Here I am back. Wilhelm; I will now eat my supper and then go on writing to you.
現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)回來了，威廉，我要吃著夜宵繼續(xù)寫你寫信。
What a delight it was to see her among the dear lively children, her eight brothers and sisters!
看到她同一群活潑可愛的孩子，她的八個弟妹，在一起，我是多么欣喜啊！
