Not even as I shook and trembled uncontrollably in the trenches 1, did I forget your face. I would sit huddled 2 into the wet mud, terrified, as the hails of bullets and mortars 3 crashed down around me. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me. But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, everything around me would be become silent, and I would be with you again for a few precious moments, far from the death and destruction. It would not be until I opened my eyes once again, that I would see and hear the carnage of the war around me. 即使是当我在战壕中控制不住地颤抖,我也不曾忘记你的容颜。我蜷缩在稀泥中 ,身边是枪林弹雨,弥漫硝烟,我把步枪紧紧地攥在胸前 ,一颗惊恐不安的心,还是想起了我们初识的那一天。身旁战火呼啸,恐惧让我想要大声呼叫 ,直到想起你,仿佛见到你在我身后盈盈浅笑,战场忽然沉寂下来 ,在这珍贵的瞬间,我觉得自己暂时远离了毁灭和死亡,飞向你的身旁 。我拼命想留住这美好 ,直到睁开眼,周围却依然是血与火的生死战场。 I cannot tell you how strong my love for you was back then, when I returned to you on leave in the September, feeling battered 4, bruised 5 and fragile. We held each other so tight I thought we would burst. I asked you to marry me the very same day and I whooped 6 with joy when you looked deep into my eyes and said "yes" to being my bride. 九月休假回到你身边,我疲惫而脆弱,没能再告诉你战火纷飞时我对你的爱有多深。我们只能紧紧拥抱在一起 ,仿佛要把对方挤碎 。也就在那天,面对我的求婚,你深深凝望我的眼睛 ,答应做我的新娘,而我早已欢喜地大喊大叫。
