无法保证结果、只能许一个心里的安慰时。

同类表达

❝ 妈妈的求救信

"Dear John, It's been two years since Fred left us and went to live with all of you. It's always meant so much to Owen to know that his friend was still out there on the lawn with you. He's such a happy little seven-year-old, and I'm so proud to be his mom. Anyway, tonight, he just suddenly collapsed... ...collapsed, and now I'm here with him at Rocky Canyon in the ICU. And they think he has... ...leukemia. He's so afraid, and he's asking to see Fred. If there's any way you can track him down and bring him to the hospital... then no matter what happens, I know he'll find some peace.

「亲爱的约翰，弗雷德离开我们已经两年了去和你们大家住在一起。对欧文来说，这一点一直很重要知道他的朋友还在那儿在草坪上陪着你们。他是个快乐的七岁小孩，能做他妈妈，我真骄傲。可今晚，他忽然就倒下了…… ……倒下了，现在我和他在洛基峡谷医院的重症监护室。他们觉得他得了…… ……白血病。他好害怕，一直吵着要见弗雷德。要是你们有任何办法能把他找回来带到医院来…… 那么无论发生什么，我知道他会得到一点安宁。

从想你写到白血病，停顿把恐惧留给空气。

❝ 死信循环说明

So we know the letter's addressed to John, but without a last name, it's useless. All we know is delayed due to missing postage. By the time it arrived, John Whoever didn't live there anymore, so it was returned to sender. That is the letter's directive. And it must be honored. So it goes back into the mail. And the cycle continues until it's classified as a dead letter. So we have no idea how long it was in the system.

所以我们知道这封信是写给约翰的，可没有姓，就没用。我们只知道因为没贴邮票被延误了。等它送到的时候，那位约翰某某已经不住那儿了，于是被退回寄件人。这就是这封信的投递指令。而且必须被遵守。于是它又回到邮路里。循环就这样继续直到被归为死信。所以我们根本不知道它在系统里转了多久。
