这要看你想表达什么
如果你是想预测十年后的自己是什么样子,就该用将来时。
如果你是站在现在的角度,写一些东西给十年后的自己看,那么用现在时就ok了。
用将来时,因为是要给将来的自己看。
Dear FutureMe,
亲爱的未来的我,
I hope you are more excited about your 33rd birthday than you were about your 32nd birthday. 33 is your lucky number so if things have not started to look up, maybe THIS will be the year (finally!). And if things have started to look up already, hooray and congrats! Keep up the good work!
希望你过33岁生日时比32岁生日更兴奋。33是你的幸运数字,如果形势还没好转,也许就是今年了(终于!)。如果情形已有改变,那万岁和恭喜了!继续保持!
You had a lot of things to face at your 32nd birthday. It was a very, very hard year. I felt like I aged 10 years this past year. Hopefully you have made up some of that lost time by now.
你32岁的时候有很多事情要面对。那是非常,非常艰难的一年。我感觉这一年老了十岁。希望你现在已经弥补了失去的时间。
I hope you have overcome your depression. I hope you finally get it. I hope your brother is still sober. I hope he has not relapsed too many times. I hope your family is not angry with him. I hope his disease has not torn us apart. I hope you still give him compassion and unconditional love despite how frustrating he can be. I hope he is still with his fiance and if not, then I hope he is with someone who can give as much love as she did and love him despite his HIV and drug addiction. I hope he is healthy. I hope he is not lonely. I hope he has not relapsed. I'm really scared for him right now. It has been very hard. I have much doubt in my head sometimes. I only want the best for him. I pray that he can fight this disease. Are you actually praying to God yet? I was an atheist but this last year has made me more spiritual than ever. Have you made a commitment to God yet? I hope you have not forgotten that God has been trying to reach you with all that is going on with your brother. I hope you have allowed him into your life. I hope your sister is still married and her damn husband has not quit on her yet. I hope you don't lose sight of this opportunity right now to make changes with them!!!!! Don't let it slip by, PLEASE!
