Dear Miss Know-it-all
亲爱的万事通先生

在我 1997 年大学毕业之际,我遇上了一位漂亮的女孩并成为了好朋友。
After graduation we kept in touch through letters
毕业后,我们一直保持着书信来往。
Gradually I found I was in love with her.
渐渐地,我发觉我爱上了她。
As a result, I refused the advances of another woman I knew in my office, and at that point, I realized I should make my feelings known to the woman I loved.

Should I continue to keep in touch with her or forget her and disappear from her life?

I hope that I can get some advice from big sister Miss Know-it-all. 我希望万事通 大姐能给我一些建议。
Dear Li Yang
亲爱的李阳
On a pain scale of one to ten, unrequited love, or love that is given but not returned can be right up there just above an operation or a visit to the dentist. It is much worse than both. Medical procedures tend to heal quickly. But broken hearts can take years to heal and sometimes never do.
在大大小小的痛楚中,单相思或没有回报的爱所带来的痛楚和手术或看牙医后的痛相比,前 两者更甚于后两者。医疗手段可以很快治愈肉体的创伤,而破碎的心却需要多年才能复原, 有时甚至终生也难以愈合。
Most of us have our first run in/encounter/experience with unrequited love in our late teens during high school.
大多数人都有过十八九岁在学校里时单相思的经历。
We watch from afar as our truly beloved wanders the halls of the school.
远远地看着自己所爱的人在学校大礼堂漫步。
We make every effort to spend as much time with that person as possible.
想方设法地尽可能与心仪的人呆在一起。
We also make every effort to be sure that person does not know how in love we really are.
我们也会力图把爱埋在心底,不让对方知道我们是多么的爱她。
But that is no way to go through life.
然而,我们总不能就这样度过一生。
So then comes the inevitable/unavoideble day when we have watched "Titanic" too many times or listened to too much Celine Dion, and we get up our courage and go to them in a dramatic flurry, and confess our true feelings.
因此,在那个迟早都要面临的日子里当看了无数次“铁达尼号”和听了无数遍席林迪翁的歌以 后,我们终于鼓起勇气在忐忑不安中走向她们,袒露我们的情感。
A couple of hours later it is all over with, and all we want to do is turn back time and go back to admiring them from afar.
几小时之后,一切都已结束,我们唯一所希望的就是让时光倒流,回到远远地赞赏她们的那个时候。
We want to go back to the sweet taste of our fantasies, thinking how wonderful it will be when we can be together.
回到我们甜美的梦境中,想着有多么的美妙能与她在一起。
We want to go back there because rejection leaves a bad taste in our mouths that we can never quite get rid of.
我们想回到从前,只因她的拒绝在我们心中留下的阴影挥之不去。
My advice to you is let her go. You can't force her to fall in love with you.
我的建议是由她去。你不可能强迫她爱上你。
The only thing wrose is begging her to love you.
更差的是企求她爱你。
It is difficult for me to even advise you to maintain your good friendship with her, because much like being on teeter-totter with someone heavier than yourself, things will just never be even/balanced/equal.
我甚至难以建议你继续保持与她的友谊,因为对我来说这是一件很难的事,这叫你与一个比 你重许多的人玩跷跷板没什么区别,结果都是不可能的。
I hope you feel better and I wish you the best of luck!
希望我所说的对你有帮助,祝你好运!
Sincerely, Miss Know-it-all
