生活中这种单相思的事可真不少?如果你也有这种倾向，可一定要尽早向对方表白才好，不然的话说不定会有另外一人“捷克先登”，到那时可就后悔都来不及了。就算被人拒绝，那也没什么不好，这样可让你早日瞄准新的目标。所以，为了终身幸福，还是破釜沉舟说出来吧。
This is a universally common dilemma! Everyone has been faced with the problem of telling or not telling someone their true feelings! Mr. Know-it-all offers some very practical advice on dealing with this particular situation, but as in all matters of love, it's easier said than done!
Dear Mr. Know-it-all,
亲爱的万事通先生，
1 In 1997, when I was finishing college, I met a beautiful girl and we became good friends. After graduation we kept in touch through letters. Gradually『逐步地；渐渐地』I found I was in love with her.
1 在我1997年大学毕业之际我遇上了一位漂亮的女孩并成为了好朋友；毕业后，我们一直保持着书信来往。渐渐地，我发觉我爱上了她。

学到一个超级口语要素“keep in touch”(保持联系)，这是我们日常生活中最常用的口语要素之一。
2 As a result, I refused the advances『主动姿态；对异性的友好表示』of another woman I knew in my office, and at that point『时刻』, I realized『认识到；领悟到』I should make my feelings known to the woman I loved.
2 结果，我拒绝了办公室一位女孩的求爱，与此同时，我认识到应该让我所爱的人知道我的感情。
3 I Wrote a letter to her expressing『表达；表示』my love. She responded『作答；回答；答复』right away『马上；立刻』To my great disappointment, she refused my love, saying she had always thought of me as her big brother and that she just enjoyed exchangin『交换；交流』ideas and thoughts with me. I am in so much pain now and don't know what to do. Should I continue to keep in touch with her or forget her and disappear from her life? I hope that I can get some advice from big brother Know-it-all.
3 于是，我写了一封信向她表达我的爱意。她很快就给我回信了。让我失望至极的是，她拒绝了我。她说，她一直都把我当成是大哥哥，只是喜欢与我交流思想而已。我现在伤心极了，不知道如何是好，我应该继续与她联系呢，还是忘记她、从她的视线中消失?我希望万事通大哥能给我一些建议。

Dear Frank,
亲爱的法兰克
1 On a pain scale『等级；级别；大小；程度』of one to ten, unrequited『得不到报答的；无回报的』love, or love that is given but not returned, can be right up there just above『超过；在……之上』an operation or a visit to the dentist. It is much worse than both. Medical procedures tend『有助于』to heal quickly. Broken hearts can take years to heal『治愈；使恢复健康』and sometimes never do.
1 在大大小小的痛楚中，单相思或没有回报的爱所带来的痛楚和手术或看牙医后的痛相比，前两者更甚于后两者。医疗手段可以很快治愈肉体的创伤，而破碎的心却需要多年才能复原，有时甚至终生也难以愈合。
2 Most of us have our first run in/encounter/experience with unrequited love in our late teens, during high school. We watch from afar『 |
