I do love you, Livy...as the dew loves the flowers; as the birds love the sunshine; as the wavelets love the breeze; as mothers love their first-born; as memory loves old faces; as the yearning tides love the moon; as the angels love the pure in heart... Take my kiss and my benediction, and try to be reconciled to the fact that I am.
我真的爱你，莉薇……就像露珠爱鲜花，鸟儿爱阳光，微波爱轻风，母亲爱她们的第一个孩子，我爱你，就像记忆青睐昔日熟悉的面孔，思念的潮水迷恋月亮，天使珍爱纯洁的心灵……请接受我的亲吻和我的祝福，要接受这个事实：我爱你。

Dear First Lady, this is the day, the day that marks 31 years of such happiness as comes to few men. I told you once that it was like an adolescent’s dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn’t changed. I more than love you, I’m not whole without you. You are life itself to me. Happy Anniversary & thank you for 31 wonderful years.
亲爱的第一夫人，到今天为止，我们共同度过了31年的幸福时光，这是世上少数男人才享有的荣幸。我曾告诉过你，我的婚姻就像一个青少年对婚姻所怀的梦想那样美好，一直以来都是如此。你是我的至爱，没有你，我是不完整的。你就是我的生命本身。结婚纪念日快乐，感谢你31年来的美好陪伴！

Monsieur, the poor do not need a great deal to live on - they ask only the crumbs of bread which fall from the rich men’s table - but if they are refused these crumbs - they die of hunger - No more do I need a great deal of affection from those I love - I would not know what to do with a whole and complete friendship - I am not accustomed to it - but you showed a little interest in me in days gone by when I was your pupil in Brussels - and I cling to the preservation of this little interest - I cling to it as I would cling on to life.
先生，穷人不需要太多来活命，他们只祈求富人餐桌上掉落的一点面包屑，但如果他们连这点面包屑都被拒绝给予，他们就会饿死。我渴望从我爱之人那里获得的感情也不过如此。一段完整而完满的友情会让我不知所措，我并不习惯于拥有它，但是，如果您对我能表现出哪怕一点点关爱，就像在布鲁塞尔我还是您的学生时那样，我就会紧紧抓住这一点点的关爱，我依附于此，就像我依附于生命。

My dearest Margarita, I haven’t received your letter. I have thought agonizingly how can we solve this intractable problem. People said that I am very smart, but I’m helpless with it. Just recently I washed my head by myself, but not with the greatest success; I am not as careful as you are, but everything here reminds me of you. Men are living now just the way they were before, as if we didn’t have a new, all-overshadowing danger to deal with. Be greeted and kissed, if this letter reaches you, and the devil take anyone who intercepts it.
我最亲爱的玛加丽达: 我收不到你的来信，我苦苦思索如何才能解决这个棘手的问题。人们都说我聪明无比，可我对此事却束手无策。最近我自己洗了一次头发，不是很成功；我没有你那么细心，这里的一切都让我想起你。人们还是像以前一样生活，好像那个新的、笼罩在我们上空的危险阴影不存在一样。如果这封信能抵达你那儿，愿它问候你、亲吻你。愿恶魔带走拦截我们通信的人。
