關於瑪莉 and Max的台詞

Dear 瑪莉,
　　
　　Please find enclosed my entire Noblet collection as a sign that I forgive you.
　　
　　When I received your book, the emotions inside my brain felt like they were in a tumble dryer, smashing into each other. The hurt felt like when I accidentally stapled my lips together. The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect. You are imperfect and so am I. All humans are imperfect, even the men outside my apartment who litters. When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself. Dr. Bernard Hazelhof said if I was on a desert island then I would have to get used to my own company, just me and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all, and that we don't get to choose our warts. They are a part of us and we have to live with them. We can, however, choose our friends and I am glad I have chosen you.
　　
　　Dr. Bernard Hazelhof also said that everyone's lives are like a very long sidewalk. Some are well paved. Others, like mine, have cracks, banana skins and cigarette butts. Your sidewalk is like mine but probably not as many cracks. Hopefully, one day, our sidewalk will meet and we can share a can of condensed milk. You are my best friends. You are my only friend.
　　
　　Your American penpal, Max 傑瑞 Horowitz.

　我原諒你是因為你不是完人，你並非完美而我一樣，人無完人，即便是那些在門外亂扔雜物的人。
　　我年輕時想變成除了自己以外的任何一個人，伯納德哈斯豪夫醫生說，如果我在一個孤島上，那麼我就要適應一個人生活，只有椰子和我。
　　他說我必需要接受我自己，我的缺點和我的全部。
　　我們無法選擇自己的缺點，它們也是我們的一部份，我們必須適應它們，然而我們能選擇我們的朋友，我很高興選擇了你。
　　伯納德哈斯豪夫醫生還說，每個人的人生就是一條很長的人行道，有的很平坦，而有的像我一樣，有裂縫香蕉皮和菸頭，你的人行道和我的差不多，但是沒有我的這麼多裂縫。
　　有朝一日，希望你我的人行道會相交在一起，到時候我們可以分享一罐煉乳。
　　你是我最好的朋友。
　　你是我唯一的朋友。

God gave us our relatives, thank god we can choose our friends.- Ethel Watts Mumford 　　
上帝給予了我們我們的親人，感謝上帝讓我們能夠選擇自己的朋友。-埃塞爾.沃茲.芒福德（19世紀末20世紀初美國女作家）

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be.
Love yourself first.
go in good health.
