第648期:這是我聽過最感人的英文情書

我們動不動就在嚷嚷不再相信愛情了。它不可信的因素實在太多，錢、時間、生活、忠誠。

好像現實一點能讓我們少吃點虧。於是很多人，把愛情當作一道計算題，把家世，學歷，收入，地位、付出都算進來，希望儘量求出最大值。

但真正的愛情，從來都不是一道計算題，沒有理性的邏輯。它沒有合不合理、配不配。只有一句，你願意，我也願意。今天我們分享一部分名人的情書。在他的飽含情義的文字中，流露出的是深深的愛。

Johnny Cash wishes wife June Carter Cash a happy 65th birthday (1994)

約翰尼·卡什在妻子瓊·卡特65歲生日時寫給妻子的情書（1994年）

We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each other's minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met.

我們漸漸變老，也早已習慣了彼此。我們想法一致、靈魂互通。無需詢問我們便知道對方想要什麼。偶爾我們也會惹對方不高興，但那或許是因爲我們真正把對方視作了理所當然的伴侶。有時候比如今天，我沉思之後意識到，能夠與你這樣一個我所見過的最偉大的女人共度餘生，我是多麼的幸運。
