壬寅年五月初三,诸事咸宜。难得的大吉大利的日子,还是阳历的儿童节。
林颜茉收到了一封来自实验中学的信件,打开读了之后,才想起来是什么。
「Dear Jasmine:
How have you been lately? In ten years, you should have already started working or are currently pursuing graduate studies, right?
Have you found what you want to do? Have you bee the person you want to be? Or did you follow their advice and pursue a career in medicine?
Dear, you must focus on moving forward and seize the opportunities that you can seize together. You need to get everything you want, learn all the knowledge you have access to, and keep everything under control.
You will succeed.
——You from ten years ago.
2012.6.1。」
(翻译:)
「亲爱的茉莉:
最近过得如何?十年后的你,应该已经参加工作,或者正在读研究生了吧?
你找到自己想做的事了吗?你成为自己想成为的人了吗?还是你依照他们说的,投身医学了呢?
亲爱的你,一定要专注前行的脚步,抓住你一起能抓住的机会。你要得到全部你想要的东西,学会所有能接触到的知识,让一切尽在掌握。
你一定会成功的。
——十年前的你。
2012.6.1。」
这是她初中转到海淀上学时,正好那个时候学校里请了一个外教进行全英教学。
儿童节当天,那位外教老师带着大家做了一个活动,给自己取一个英文名,并给十年后的自己写一封信。
林颜茉当时只觉得是练习写作而已,没想到那位老师真的给他们寄过来了。
而且,还有一句寄语。
「Dear child, life is a journey. I hope you can achieve your dreams while not missing the flowers blooming in spring and the fallen leaves dancing in autumn.——Your teacher, Lilell.」
「亲爱的孩子,人生是一场旅途。希望你实现你的理想的同时,也能不错过春天盛放的花和秋天飞舞的落叶。——你的老师,莉莱尔。」
