海涅致卡蜜爾塞爾登

Sweetest of fines mouches! or, leaving the emblem of your seal, is it the perfume of your letter that I should call you? In that case must I say"Dearest of musk-scented cats?" I received your note the day before yesterday; its little fly tracks run constantly in my head, perhaps also even in my heart, my most hearty thanks for all the affection that you show me... I, too, rejoice in the thought of seeing you soon again, and of making a "living print'' upon those sweet and Swabian features. Ah; that phrase would have less platonic meaning were I only still a man. But I am nothing more than a spirit; that may suit you, but me it only suits after a mediocre fashion...... Yes, I rejoice in the thought of seeing you again, fine mouches of my soul! Most fascinating of musk cats! But at the same times as mild as an Angora cat, a species which I prefer. For a long time I loved tiger cats; but they are too dangerous, and the "living prints" which they sometimes left upon my face were unpleasing. Things are going very badly with me, nothing but a succession of vexations and fits of rage. Fury against my condition which is desperate! Goodbye. May the waters strengthen you and do you good.

Most affectionate greetings, from your friend.

Heine

最甜蜜的小狐貍! 要么，不管你同不同意，我是否可以叫你香香，因?yàn)槟愕男欧曳紦浔嵌鴣?lái)? 如果可以，我一定要說(shuō)“最親愛(ài)的麝香貓咪?” 我前天收到你的短信，你那一行行“蠅頭”小字一直在我腦子里翻騰， 或許也在心中翻騰。最衷心地感謝你對(duì)我如此鐘情…… 我也為了能很快又見(jiàn)到你， 能在來(lái)自斯瓦比亞的人兒臉上留下“難忘的印記”而萬(wàn)分高興。 啊，只要我還是個(gè)男子漢，這樣說(shuō)就不會(huì)有多大的精神戀愛(ài)意味。 但我至多不過(guò)是一個(gè)普通的人;這種說(shuō)法可以用在你身上， 對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，不免自視為高…… 不錯(cuò)，想到又能見(jiàn)到你，我就十分高興，最迷人的小狐貍!最醉人的麝香貓咪。 但同時(shí)又跟安哥拉貓一樣溫馴，這種貓我更喜歡。 長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，我很喜歡山貓，但山貓?zhí)ｋU(xiǎn)， 而且有時(shí)會(huì)在你的臉上留下令人不愉快的“難忘的印記”。 我的情況很不好，除了不斷的煩惱，就是大發(fā)脾氣。 我為自己處于絕境而懊惱。 再見(jiàn)了，愿海浪使你更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，更健康。

致以最親切的問(wèn)好你的朋友
