情生惑,惑成书
版块介绍
这个板块的文章来自the Boston Globe的专栏记者Meredith Goldstein运营的网站loveletters.boston.com。网站上的文章都是读者给Meredith发来的信件,询问一些我们平时都可能遇到的情感问题,网友会在上面评论留言,Meredith也会给出自己的建议,给许多困惑中的读者带来帮助。
在我看来,这些文章都是相当棒的英语阅读材料,文字浅显易懂又贴近生活,也会有许多地道的用语表达,同时也提供了很好的讨论的素材。我会将文字贴出,朗读,并且稍作解释,大家看完之后,也欢迎给我留言。

You list three courses of action at the end of your letter, but let me add a fourth. You have the option of ending your relationship to see what else is out there. You can break up with your longtime partner without knowing what's next. It's time to admit that you and your boyfriend are no longer on the same path, and that even though you love him, your fantasies take you elsewhere.
For the record, you don't really know your boss – not outside of work and the messaging app – which means he represents something bigger, maybe all of the things you'd want from your next relationship. Think of him a symbol of possibility. It's not one man vs. the other.
If you remove all sentences about your boss from this letter, you're left with a paragraph about a relationship that made sense when you were young, but no longer works, now that you're a 20-something. It'd be great if you could just stumble into a new relationship with a perfect, ambitious person on the other side of the world, but that's not how it works. You might have to leave this relationship and be on your own for a while. It'll be scary, but good decisions often are.
