Does the idea of expressing your feelings to someone you care for make you feel nervous and tongue-tied? Writing a letter of love gives you the chance to take your time and use the right words to express your admiration and appreciation for your nearest and dearest. Whether you make the letter silly, funny, funky,or romantic, your words will come from the heart.
對你關心的人的表達你的感受，一想到這個是否讓你感到緊張，舌頭打結？寫一封情書可以讓你花時間，使用正確的詞語來對你最親近和親愛的人表達你的愛慕和贊賞。不管你把情書寫得很傻很搞笑，還是很潮很浪漫，你的話語將發自內心。
1. Use an intriguing opener.
使用吸引人的開場。
Do you have a special name who you call your beloved? You might want to use it at the start to immediately catch his or her attention. If not, consider using words like “My Dear,” “My Darling,” or “My Love” or something that is meaningful to you.
你對你愛的人有沒有特別的稱呼？你可能希望用它來吸引他/她的注意力。如果沒有，考慮使用“我親愛的”或者“我的愛”或者其他對你們來說有意義的稱呼。
2. Tell the person exactly why you’re taking the time to write.
告訴那個人你為什么要寫這份情書。
A love letter is different from any other type of correspondence, so make sure you tell the object of your affection from the outset the reason for your letter.
情書不同于其他任何形式的通信，因此確保在情書的開始你告訴對方你的感情。
3. Discuss a happy memory the two of you shared.
分享一兩個你們的快樂記憶。
During the time you have spent together, there have no doubt been many happy times. As you are writing your letter, relive one in detail and share your impressions of the event with your beloved. You’ll get bonus points if it’s something that he or she may have forgotten over time.
在你們一起度過的時間中，無疑有很多快樂的時光。在你寫情書時，與你愛的人重溫一件事情的細節或者分享你的感受。如果這是他/她隨時間推移已經忘記的事，這將給你的情書加分。
4. Mention your beloved’s best qualities.
提及你愛人的閃光點。
What makes your special person stand out from anyone else you know? Write it down and put it in your letter. The things you appreciate most may not be the things your beloved considers to be his or her most obvious strengths, so just speak from your heart. If you need a writing prompt, start with a partial sentence like:
是什么使得你的愛人從你認識的人中脫穎而出？寫下來，寫進情書中。你稱贊的事情需要是你愛的人自己認為是長處的地方，因此發自內心的表達。如果你需要提示，請以下面的句子開始：
“I appreciate you most when you…”
“當你……時我特別欣賞你。”
“Your greatest strength is…”
“你最大的優勢是……”
“The thing I think of first when your name comes to mind is…”
“當我想你的名字，我能想到的是……”
Complete the sentence with the first impression that you get. It will more than likely be the right one for your letter.
以你的第一反應來完成這些句子。這很有可能是最正確的。
5. Talk about the difference he or she has made in your life.
談談他對你人生帶來的改變。
Naturally, your life has changed for the better since you met the person to whom you are writing, and you’ll want to share this information in your love letter. This is not the place to mention any past loves, since that part of your life is over (and hopefully done with). You do want to share how much richer and fulfilling your life is now that your special someone is part of it.
顯然，在你遇見他/她時，你的人生已經變美好了，你會想在你的情書中與之分享這個信息。這里不能提及任何前男女友，因為那部分生活已經結束了（希望如此）。你確實需要與之分享的是：當某人出現在你生活中時，你的生活變得多么豐富和滿意。
6. Choose the right stationery for your letter.
選擇合適的信紙。
Since a love letter is not a standard piece of correspondence, you don’t necessarily want to write it on plain paper. Pay a visit to a store and look for some special paper in a favorite color or style that will set it apart. Don’t forget to buy an envelope, too. You’ll have to decide whether you want to hand-deliver your letter, mail it, or leave it somewhere for your beloved to find. Another option is to arrange for your letter to be delivered by a courier company, which means you will be sure that it reaches your beloved on a particular day.
由于情書不是標準意義的書信，你不需要在素色的紙上寫它。去商店看看，買一點喜愛的顏色或樣式的特別的紙。別忘了也要買個信封。你需要決定是否親自送你的信，是寄出去或者留在你心愛的人能找到的地方。另一個選擇是把你的信交給一個快遞公司，這將確保它能在特定的一天抵達。
7. Pen and paper is best for short notes.
短情書最好使用筆和紙。
If you are writing a short love letter, then do pick up a pen and paper. Not everyone has good penmanship skills, and if you are going to be writing a letter that is several pages in length, you can do your composing in a keyboard. The advantage of this option is that you can edit and move your text around if you don’t like the way you have written it in your first draft.
如果你在寫一個短情書，請用筆和紙。并不是所有人都有很好的書法，如果你打算寫好幾頁很長的情書，你可以用電腦打稿。這種選擇的好處是，如果你不滿意你的初稿，你可以編輯或刪除你的文字。
8. Choose a romantic font.
選擇浪漫的字體。
If you decide to use your keyboard to compose your love letter, be sure to change your font. Now is not the time to stick to a standard business font like Times New Roman 12 or Helvetica Regular 12. Experiment with the fonts in your word processing program to find one that you like and that fits the occasion.
如果你想用電腦來寫情書，記得更改你的字體。現在不是使用標準商務字體例如12號Times New Roman或者12號Helvetica Regular的時候。在你處理文字的過程中可以嘗試使用不同的字體，來找到你最喜歡的最應景的字體。
9. Write your letter and let it sit for a day or two before sending.
寫完信后過一兩天再寄出去。
Love letters are, by definition, highly emotional exercises. Read what you have written before sending it to your beloved after you have had some time to digest it. If you are happy with the results, send it.
按照定義我們就能看出，情書是情感的高度體現。在寄給你愛的人前，讀幾遍你寫的東西，這樣你有時間消化它。如果你對結果很滿意，就把情書寄出去吧。
10. Your letter doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
并不是完美的才有意義。
No one is looking for perfection in a love letter. Just write what is in your heart, and you’ll be using exactly the right language.
沒有人會渴望完美的情書。僅僅寫一下你心里的想法，你就會找到最合適的語言。
