世界上最長(zhǎng)最動(dòng)人的情書(shū)
情書(shū)大家都知道吧!你知道世界上最長(zhǎng)的情書(shū)是怎么樣的嗎?寫(xiě)有世界上最長(zhǎng)情書(shū)的巨型明信片將被保存在俄羅斯中央通訊博物館中。那么世界上最長(zhǎng)的情書(shū)和世界上最動(dòng)人的情書(shū)有哪些呢？小編來(lái)告訴你：
世界上最長(zhǎng)的情書(shū)
張明信片打破了吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄。這張明信片的尺寸約為10至15米，重56公斤。為不違反郵局規(guī)則，這張明信片同其他信件或者印刷品郵件一樣貼有郵票。 一共需要195張價(jià)值約為2000盧布的郵票。明信片一面繪有埃斯泰爾–想象中的心愛(ài)姑娘的形象，另一面則寫(xiě)滿(mǎn)愛(ài)情宣言，這是由一些彼得堡人在一個(gè)月前寫(xiě)上去的。 男女的戀愛(ài)是一種藝術(shù),情書(shū)的寫(xiě)作更是一種藝術(shù)。如果說(shuō)情場(chǎng)如戰(zhàn)場(chǎng),情書(shū)便是愛(ài)情戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上攻堅(jiān)最犀利的武器。情場(chǎng)上的勝利或失敗,情書(shū)寫(xiě)作技巧的優(yōu)劣巧拙,至少要負(fù)一半以上的責(zé)任,因此,寫(xiě)情書(shū)怎能不刻意講求呢? 情書(shū),這是一個(gè)動(dòng)人的名詞:尤其是在青春時(shí)代的青年男女們,對(duì)于情書(shū)的價(jià)值之重視,往往會(huì)超出其他一切物質(zhì)上的享受。為什么情書(shū)會(huì)有這樣大的價(jià)值呢?就因?yàn)榍闀?shū)是求愛(ài)戀愛(ài)甚至結(jié)婚,生活中最重要的一環(huán)。在求愛(ài)與戀愛(ài)的場(chǎng)合之下,有些時(shí)候,若沒(méi)有情書(shū)介媒其間,則求愛(ài)的進(jìn)行必倍感吃力,且會(huì)至于功虧一簣,使戀愛(ài)的美夢(mèng)付之泡影。 換句話說(shuō):在求愛(ài)的時(shí)期中,雙方都羞于談情說(shuō)愛(ài)的話,惟一傾吐情衷的方法,除了用書(shū)信去表達(dá),就沒(méi)有其他更好的辦法了。若在戀愛(ài)進(jìn)行的時(shí)期中,假如雙方有離別的遭遇,倘能把離愁別緒,借書(shū)信來(lái)互相表達(dá),則愛(ài)情不致中途冷落,自是意中的事。

Napoleon to His Wife Josephine
拿破侖寫(xiě)給妻子約瑟芬
The ruthless French leader had a sweet side for his wife Josephine. Although he divorced her whenshe could not have children, he continued to write to her.

The charms of theincomparable Josephine kindle continually a burning and a glowing flame in my heart. When, freefrom all solicitude, all harassing care, shall I be able to pass all my time with you, having only to loveyou, and to think only of the happiness of so saying, and of proving it to you?”
“自從與你分別，我時(shí)常郁郁寡歡。我的幸福就是能與你相依。我不斷在記憶里重溫你的愛(ài)撫、你的淚水、你深情的掛念。世上沒(méi)有人能同你相比，你的魅力總會(huì)在我心中燃起熊熊烈火。我何時(shí)才能擺脫所有掛慮、所有惱人的擔(dān)憂(yōu)，和你共度生命中的每分每秒，向你證明，我只需要愛(ài)你，只需要想著向你訴說(shuō)愛(ài)意時(shí)的幸福之感。”

Beethoven to His Immortal Beloved
貝多芬寫(xiě)給“永遠(yuǎn)的愛(ài)人”
The identity of Ludwig van Beethoven’s “immortal beloved,” who received a plethora of lettersfrom the composer in 1812, is still a mystery, but historians believe it was Antonie Brentano, adiplomat’s daughter. Beethoven dedicated his Diabelli Variations Op. 120 to her, and in one of hisletters found after his death, he famously wrote:
1812年，貝多芬“永遠(yuǎn)的愛(ài)人”收到了來(lái)自這位作曲家雪花般的來(lái)信，不過(guò)收信人的身份卻依然無(wú)人知曉。不過(guò)，歷史學(xué)家認(rèn)為收信人是安東妮·布倫塔諾。安東妮·布倫塔諾是一位外交家的女兒，貝多芬將他創(chuàng)作的《迪亞貝利變奏曲》獻(xiàn)給了她。貝多芬去世后人們找到了他生前的書(shū)信，在其中有一句著名的話：
“Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, Be calm–loveme–today–yesterday–what tearful longings for you–you–you–my life–my all–farewell. Ohcontinue to love me–never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Evermine. Ever ours.”
“我的人躺在床上，但我的思緒卻飛向了你，我永遠(yuǎn)的愛(ài)人。請(qǐng)保持冷靜-愛(ài)我-今天-昨天-我的眼中飽含淚水思念著你-你-你-我的生命-我的一切-永別了。噢，繼續(xù)愛(ài)我吧，不要誤會(huì)我這顆最赤誠(chéng)地愛(ài)著你的心。我永遠(yuǎn)屬于你。你永遠(yuǎn)屬于我。我們永遠(yuǎn)屬于彼此。”
