拿破仑写给爱妻的缠绵情书

11
Paris, December 1795

I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?... My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!

You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.

Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire. 

注:拿破仑(Napoleon Bonaparte)(1769-1821)出生于法国的科西嘉。他不仅是一位出色的军事家和另人敬畏的统治者,还是一位多产的书信写手,一生写了数万封信,其中大部分是写给其漂亮的妻子约瑟芬的。这封信写于1796年他们的婚礼之前,表明了这位未来君主对爱人的温柔与情感。
