分手别再写“你喜欢大海，我爱过你”了，太俗……

坦言悲痛型

男票另有新欢怎么办？1909年，美国女作家伊迪丝·华顿（Edith Wharton）是这样写信回应出轨男友的。

I have had a difficult year—but the pain within my pain, the last turn of the screw, has been the impossibility of knowing what you wanted of me, and what you felt for me...

我这一年过得很艰难，但痛中之痛，最后一击，是无法知道你想要我怎样，你对我的感觉是什么……

My life was better before I knew you. That is, for me, the sad conclusion of this sad year. And it is a bitter thing to say to the one being one has ever loved d’amour.

在认识你之前，我过得更好。这是我对这悲伤的一年做出的悲伤结论。要把这句话对一个曾经爱过的人说出口，真是无比苦涩。

伊迪丝·华顿（Edith Wharton, 1862-1937）

爱尔兰著名作家奥斯卡·王尔德（Oscar Wilde）以他深刻犀利的毒舌语录惊艳于世，后因同性恋情曝光而被捕入狱。

在狱中，他写下《自深深处》（De Profundis）这封长信，既是写给他爱恨交织的恋人阿尔弗莱德·道格拉斯（Alfred Douglas），也是对人生的反思。以下是一些节选。

In you Hate was always stronger than Love.

在你的心中，恨总是比爱强烈。

You did not realise that there is no room for both passions in the same soul. 

你并未意识到，一个灵魂是无法同时容纳这两种感情的。

Love is fed by the imagination, by which we become wiser than we know, better than we feel, nobler than we are...

爱是用想象力滋养的，这使我们比自己所知的更聪慧，比自我感觉的更良好， 比原本的为人更高尚……

Only what is fine, and finely conceived, can feed Love. But anything will feed Hate. 

惟有精美的、精美于思的，才能供养爱。然而，任何东西都可以供养恨。

Love can read the writing on the remotest star, but Hate so blinded you that you could see no further than the narrow, walled-in, and already lust-withered garden of your common desires. Your terrible lack of imagination, the one really fatal defect of your character, was entirely the result of the Hate that lived in you.

爱能让人读到写在最遥远星辰上的文字；恨却蒙蔽了你的双眼，使目光所及，不过是你那个窄狭的、被高墙所围堵、因放纵而枯萎的伧俗欲念的小园子。你想象力缺乏得可怕，这是你性格上唯一真正致命的缺点，而这完全是你心中的恨所结的果。

You came to me to learn the Pleasure of Life and the Pleasure of Art. Perhaps I am chosen to teach you something much more wonderful, the meaning of Sorrow, and its beauty.

当初你投向我，是为了领悟生命的欢娱和艺术的欢愉。而也许冥冥中注定，我要教你一些奇妙得多的东西——痛苦的意义，以及它的美好。

奥斯卡·王尔德（Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900）

英国作家、女权活动家玛丽·沃尔斯通克拉夫特（Mary Wollstonecraft）遭遇未婚先育，男票出轨，自杀未遂…… 分手写得这么佛系，估计是打击太多太大，看淡一切了吧。

You must do as you please with respect to the child. I could wish that it might be done soon, that my name may be no more mentioned to you...I am glad you are satisfied with your own conduct.

至于孩子，请务必怎么高兴怎么处理。我希望这件事能尽快解决，我希望我的名字不会再出现在你的生活里……我很高兴你对自己的所作所为感到满意。

I now solemnly assure you, that this is an eternal farewell.

我郑重向你保证，这就是永别。

It is strange that, in spite of all you do, something like conviction forces me to believe that you are not what you appear to be.

奇怪的是，尽管你坏事做绝，但却有一种意念总迫使我相信，你并不是你所表现得那样。
