66B _ You've Got Mail 《电子情书》（节选）

You’ve Got Mail Dear friend, I’d like to start my notes to you as if we’re already in the middle of a conversation. I pretend that we’re the oldest and dearest friends, as opposed to what we actually are, people who don’t know each other’s names, and met in a Chat Room where we both claimed we’d never been before. "What will NY152 say today?" I wonder. I turn on my computer; I wait impatiently as it connects. I go online, and my breath catches in my chest until I hear three little words: You’ve got mail. I hear nothing, not even a sound on the streets of New York, just the beat of my own heart. I have mail. From you. 【参考译文】 亲爱的朋友，我喜欢一开始就假装我们已经谈到一半，我喜欢假装我们是老朋友了，虽然事实并不然。我们连对方的名字都不知道，然后在从未去过的聊天室里遇见. “今天NY152会说什么呢？”我很好奇地想。 我打开电脑，焦急地等待上线；上线后，屏住呼吸，等待着，直到听到 “You’ve got mail”。我什么都听不到，听不到纽约街头的一点儿声音，只听到心跳声，我收到了你的来信。
