I've just heard the news that all the army men

我剛剛聽到的消息是，所有的軍隊人員

who were held POW are to return to their homes

we may not commence to go before the end of February

我們可能在2月底之前不會開始走。

but can probably count on being in England sometime in March

但大概可以指望在3月的某個時候在英國。

I don't know what to say, and I cannot think

我不知道該說些什麼，我也想不起來

我必須考慮在某個地方開個派對

最重要的是，我必須和你在一起

我一定要溫暖你，包圍你，愛你。

為了你，為了我的母親，為了我自己

How good for us to see each other before I am completely bald

在我還沒有完全禿頂之前，我們能再見面多好啊

I've some fine little wisps of hair on the top of my head

It's not much good me trying to write about recent experiences

我想寫下最近的經歷也沒什麼好處

now that I know I should be able to tell you everything myself

現在我知道我應該可以親自告訴你一切了

is the first letter from you saying that you know I am alright

這是你寫的第一封信，說你知道我很好

and the next saying you know I am coming to you

下一句話你就知道我要來找你了。

Plan a week somewhere, not Boscombe or Bournemouth

計劃一個星期的地方，而不是Boscombe或伯恩茅斯。

I hoped that you will not start buying any clothes

because you think you must look nice for me

Just carry on as near as possible to normal

儘可能接近正常的進行就可以了

我將告訴我的家人，我希望在這裡度過

a week away with you somewhere during my leave

趁我休假時和你一起去一個星期

My counsel to you is to tell as few people as possible

我給你的建議是，儘量少告訴別人。

to avoid preening yourself, and saying much

I do not ever want it to be anything but our affair

我只希望我們之間的關係能持續下去。

I could get as little as 14 days, and I may get as much as a month

我可能只得到14天，也可能得到一個月的時間

I'm wondering how I shall tell you I'm in England

Probably it's still quicker to send a telegram than a letter

And I hope to send you one announcing that I am on the same island

我希望能給你寄一張，告訴你我在同一個島上。

I will send another one, I'm actually soon to get on the London-bound train

我會再發一個，我'實際上很快就會得到在倫敦的火車上

and you can ring Lee Green 0509 when you think I have arrived there

如果你認為我到了那裡，你可以打電話給李格林0509。

It's a strange thing, because I cannot seem to get going

這是一件很奇怪的事情，因為我似乎無法繼續下去了

All I am thinking about is "I am going home! I am going to see her!"

我心裡想的是"我要回家了！"。我要去看她！"

這是一個事實，一個真實的事情。

an impending event like Shrove Tuesday, Christmas Day, or the Lord Mayor's Banquet

即將到來的事件，如Shrove Tuesday，聖誕節，或市長大人的宴會。

You have to be abroad, you have to be hermetically sealed off

你要在國外，你要被密封起來。

to realize what a gift this going home is

要知道這次回家是多麼大的禮物

The few letters of yours that I had on me

I burned, the day previous to our surrender

在我們投降的前一天，我燒燬了。

所以，除了我自己，沒有人讀過你的話

It is a pity that the winter weather will not be kind to us out of doors

可惜冬天的天氣不會對我們這些出門在外的人有好感

but it will be nice sitting next to you in the pictures

但它將是很好的坐在你旁邊的圖片。

It will be grand to know we have each other's support and sympathy

知道我們有彼此的支持和同情，這將是偉大的。

Not just to know that a letter is all we can send

不僅僅是知道一封信就能寄出去了
