雙語(yǔ)：美國(guó)總統(tǒng)甜蜜浪漫情書大揭秘

　　Old-school love letters between a young Richard Nixon and the woman he would later marry have been unveiled at the former president's library in California，showing the poetic side of a man who addressed his future wife as“dearest heart.”

　　日前，加利福尼亞州的前總統(tǒng)圖書館曝光了年輕的理查德·尼克松的老情書，這些情書的收信人是他后來(lái)的妻子。這些書信顯示了一個(gè)男人充滿詩(shī)意的一面，他在信中稱妻子為“最親密的愛(ài)人”。

　　The letters，written by hand between 1938 and 1940，include professions of love in which Nixon tells Pat Ryan，as she was then known，that“nothing so fine ever happened”to him as falling in love with her.

　　這些情書寫于1938年至1940年間，尼克松在這些書信里向帕特·瑞安表達(dá)了愛(ài)意，尼克松告訴瑞安，對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)再也沒(méi)有比愛(ài)上她更好的事情了。

　　“Every day and every night I want to see you and be with you.Yet I have no feeling of selfish ownership or jealousy.In fact I should always want you to live just as you wanted-because if you didn't then you would change and wouldn't be you.”Nixon wrote in one of the letters，part of a rotating display at the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

　　“每一天我都想看見(jiàn)你，每一天我都想和你待一起，這絕不是出于占有欲或嫉妒心里。事實(shí)上，我總是希望你能過(guò)你想要的生活--因?yàn)槿绻�你不能這樣，那么你就變了，那樣你就不是我愛(ài)的那個(gè)你了。”尼克松在其中一封信中這樣寫到。這是在尼克松總統(tǒng)圖書館和博物館巡回展出的其中一部分。

　　“Let's go for a long ride Sundays；let's go to the mountains weekends；let's read books in front of fires；most of all let's really grow together and find the happiness we know is ours.”he continued.

　　“在星期天我們出去騎車；在周末我們?nèi)ヅ郎剑辉诨鸲亚拔覀円黄痖喿x；最重要的是我們?cè)谝黄鸪砷L(zhǎng)，并找到了正如我們了解的屬于我們的幸福”。他接著說(shuō)。

　　Nixon，who served as U.S.president from 1969 to 1974，stepped down in the face of almost certain impeachment due to the involvement of his aides and campaign in an attempt to bug his political opponents' offices at the Watergate complex and the subsequent cover-up.

　　尼克松1969年至1974年任職美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。在面對(duì)涉及和女助理的丑聞以及有關(guān)水門事件中竊聽案的彈劾后，尼克松辭職下臺(tái)。

　　He was pardoned a month after he left office by his successor，President Gerald Ford.Nixon，whose wife stood by him throughout a scandal that damaged national trust in the White House and government，died in 1994.

　　在他卸任一個(gè)月后，下一任總統(tǒng)杰拉爾德·福特宣布對(duì)他的這一事件表示諒解。尼克松的夫人在整個(gè)丑聞事件中一直陪伴著尼克松，而這一丑聞也引發(fā)了全國(guó)民眾對(duì)白宮及政府的不信任感。尼克松于1994年逝世。

　　The letters on display illustrate the couple's courtship between the time they met during tryouts for a community play in Whittier，California，in 1938 and when they were later married in 1940，nearly three decades before they became president and first lady.

　　展出的這些信件也詮釋了這對(duì)夫婦的恩愛(ài)不離，從1938年他們?cè)诿绹?guó)加州西南部城市惠蒂爾一個(gè)社區(qū)戲劇試演時(shí)相遇到1940年他們結(jié)婚。在他們成為總統(tǒng)和第一夫人前他們共度了將近30年時(shí)間。

　　“What's so charming about these letters is that they are really from another time，because I think the writing of love letters has really become a lost art with technology.” said exhibit curator Bob Bostock.

　　“這些信的魅力在于它們真的是來(lái)自另一個(gè)時(shí)代，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為寫情書真的已經(jīng)成為科技時(shí)代我們丟失的一門藝術(shù)。”展覽館長(zhǎng)鮑勃如是說(shuō)。

　　He said that while Nixon's letters showed a romantic side of the former president，Pat Ryan's letters tended to be“a bit lighter，humorous.”

　　他還說(shuō)，當(dāng)尼克松的情書展示了前總統(tǒng)浪漫一面的同時(shí)，總統(tǒng)夫人帕特·瑞安的信件則顯得“語(yǔ)言平淡和有幽默感”。

　　In one, she writes:“Hi-ho，Hi-ho！How does it go？It would be good to see and hear.Night school is over about 9 so if you are through with club meeting perhaps I'll see you？”In another letter，she offers to“burn a hamburger”for her sweetheart if he visits her on a Wednesday evening.

　　在其中一封信中，她寫到：“嗨，最近怎么樣？要是能看到你聽到你的聲音就好了--夜校在九點(diǎn)左右結(jié)束，如果你那時(shí)參加俱樂(lè)部會(huì)議，也許我會(huì)遇到你？” 在另一封信里，她表示如果他星期三的晚上來(lái)看她，她就“烤一個(gè)漢堡”給她心愛(ài)的人。

　　Six of the letters，three penned by Nixon and three by his future wife out of a collection of several dozen，will be on rotating display in the Nixon library in Yorba Linda，California，through September 3 as part of an exhibit to mark what would have been Pat Nixon's 100th birthday.She died in 1993.

　　六封情書有三封出自尼克松之手，三封屬于他的妻子。這些從上百封情書中挑出來(lái)的情書將會(huì)在加州約巴林達(dá)市的尼克松圖書館進(jìn)行巡回展出，展覽將作為帕特·瑞安百歲誕辰紀(jì)念活動(dòng)的一部分。今年的9月3日正是帕特·瑞安百歲誕辰，帕特·雷恩于1993年逝世。
