Reviewer.pxs.

My darling George, you said that things seemed clearer when they were written down.

Well, herewith a very boring letter, in which I will try and put down everything,

so that you may read and reread it in horror at your folly in getting involved with me.

deep breath.

To begin with, I love you with the depth and passion that I have felt for no one else in this life.

And if it astonishes you, it astonishes me as well.

Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving, far from it.

It's just that first of all, I swore I would not get involved with another woman.

Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before, and it's almost frightening.

Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible

that another human being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost everything else.

Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love,

one could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from them felt like a thousand years.

Fifthly, I never hoped aspired, dreamed that one could find everything one wanted in one person.

I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible.

Yet in you, I have found everything I want.

You are beautiful, giving, gentle, idiotically and deliciously feminine, sexy,

wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as well.

I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch you, your beautiful voice, your beauty,

to argue with you, to laugh with you, to show you things and share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind,

to explore your wonderful body, and to help you, protect you, serve you, and bash you on the head when I think you're wrong.

Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man outside mythology to have found the crock of gold at the rainbow's end.

Now let me tell you something.

I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises, on land where it floods forests and mountains with honey-colored light,

at sea where it rises

and sets like a blood orange in a multicolored nest of cloud slipping in and out of the vast ocean.

I have seen a thousand moons, harvest moons like gold coins, Winter moons as white as ice chips,

new moons like baby swan's feathers.

I have seen seas as smooth as if painted, colored like shot silk, or blue as a kingfisher,

or transparent as glass, all black and crumpled with foam, moving ponderously and murderously.

I have felt winds straight from the South Pole, bleak and wailing like a lost child.

Winds as tender and warm as a lover's breath.

Winds that carried the astringent smell of salts and the death of seaweeds.

Winds that carried the moist, rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a million flowers.

Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or winds that made the waters lap at the shore's edge like a kitten.

I've known silence, The cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well.

The implacable stony silence of a deep cave.

The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is hypnotized and stilled into silence by the eye of the sun.

The silence when great music ends.

I have heard summer cicadas cry so that the sound seems stitched into your bones.

I have heard tree frogs in an orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million emerald fireflies.

I've heard the keys calling over great glaciers that groaned to themselves

like old people as they inched their way to the sea.

I've heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating fur seals as they sang to their sleek golden wives.

The crisp staccato astonishment of the rattlesnake.

the cobweb squeak of the bat and the belling roar of red deer knee-deep in purple heather.

I've heard wolves baying at a winter's moon, red howler monkeys making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries.

I have heard the squeak, purr and grunt of a hundred multicolored reef fish.

I've seen hummingbirds flashing like opals round a tree of scarlet blooms, humming like a top.

I've seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing silver lines on the surface with their tails.

I've seen spoonbills flying home to roost like a scarlet banner across the sky.

I've seen whales, black as tar, cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,

creating a Versailles of fountain with their breath.

I've watched butterflies emerge and sit trembling while the sun irons their wings smooth.

I've watched tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.

I've been dive-bombed by an angry raven, black and glossy as the devil's hoof.

I've lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a host of dolphins.

I have met a thousand animals and seen a thousand wonderful things,

but all this I did without you.

This was my loss.

All this I want to do with you.

This will be my gain.

All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of one minute of your company, for your laugh, your voice,

your eyes, hair, lips, body and above all for your sweet ever surprising mind,

which is an enriching quarry in which it is my privilege to to delve.

Yours ever, Gerry.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
