Dear future Linda (or rather myself),
亲爱的未来的琳达（或者更确切地说是我自己），
I hope when you read this letter you don’t find my writing too messy! At the moment, I’m 15 years old and living at home with my family. I love school and have lots of good friends. We do lots of fun things together like parties, ice skating and swimming. My biggest worry is not doing well in my school exams, but I’m working really hard so hopefully I have nothing to worry about.
我希望当你读到这封信时，你不会觉得我的字迹太乱了！目前，我15岁，和家人住在家里。我喜欢学校，有很多好朋友。我们一起做很多有趣的事情，比如聚会、滑冰和游泳。我最大的担心是在学校考试中表现不佳，但我真的很努力，所以希望我没有什么可担心的。
There’s so much I (you!) want to do. I hope you’ve travelled all over the world and seen lots of things and met lots of people. I hope you’ve visited the Great Wall in China and the pyramids in Egypt, shopped in New York City and in Paris, seen polar bears in Norway and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I’ve just remembered, you always wanted to see elephants in India—I hope you’ve managed to do that too.
我（你！）想做的事太多了。我希望你去过世界各地，看过很多东西，遇到很多人。我希望你参观过中国的长城和埃及的金字塔，在纽约市和巴黎购过物，在挪威看过北极熊，在澳大利亚看过大堡礁。我刚刚想起，你一直想在印度看大象——我希望你也做到了。
I promise myself I’ll always try my best and have no regrets. I never want to forget where every step of my life has taken me. Already it seems as if so much has happened. I’ve moved from primary to junior middle school (about to graduate), been taught to swim and dance (I love ballet dancing), learned to speak Chinese and French, and raised money for those in need by selling old toys and books.
我向自己保证，我会尽我所能，不后悔。我永远不想忘记我生命中的每一步都把我带到了哪里。似乎已经发生了很多事情。我从小学升入初中（即将毕业），学习游泳和舞蹈（我喜欢芭蕾舞），学会说中文和法语，并通过出售旧玩具和书籍为有需要的人筹集资金。
I really hope you’re happy. I hope you have a successful career that you enjoy doing and look forward to each morning when you wake up. I hope you’re surrounded by good friends and family and maybe also have a family of your own. More than anything else, I hope you’ve enjoyed every single moment so far!
我真的希望你快乐。我希望你有一个成功的事业，你喜欢，每天早上醒来都期待着。我希望你身边有好朋友和家人，也许还有自己的家庭。最重要的是，我希望到目前为止，你享受每一刻！
