唯一不变的是我对你的爱。
Today a man died beside me. A piece of shrapnel had pierced his neck as we were moving under fire. I pulled him into a crater and stayed with him until he died. I watched him choke and then drown in his blood.
今天一个人在我旁边死掉了。我们在战火中穿行时,一个弹片刺穿了他的脖子。我把他拖到一个弹坑中,陪伴着他一直到他死去,我眼看着他窒息,然后死在血泊中。

他整理着那堆信件,有些读了一半,其他的全都读完了。太阳已经落得很低,阳光直射到房间内,落在了他正在阅读的信纸上,信纸发出了刺眼的光。他从那沓信的后面挑了一封,在他读的时候用自己的手遮挡着阳光。
Dearest Mary, I am writing this to you from my hospital bed. I hope that you were not too worried about not hearing from me. I have been here, so they tell me, for two weeks and it took another two weeks before I could bring myself to write this letter.
最亲爱的玛丽,我正在自己的病床上给你写这封信。我希望你没有因为没收到我的来信而感到担心。他们告诉我,我已经在这里待了两个星期。又过了两个星期我才能写这封信。
