美语会话实录第250期(MP3+文本):Fail to express

英文原文:

Holly: Taylor, I don't know if I'll speak tomorrow, and I had to let you know how I feel. You are my best friend. My life will never be the same without your smile to light my day.
Yi-jun: Don't hang up, Holly. Keep talking.
Holly: You will always be with me in my heart. When I have a hard day, I'll think of how you could always make me laugh. There is so much more I want to say to you. Words fail to express all of my emotions. So, I'll say goodbye to you tomorrow at Wells Church....
Yi-jun:That was beautiful, Holly.

参考译文:

荷莉： 泰勒，我不知道明天是否要上台说话，可是我一定要让你知道我的感觉。你是我最好的朋友。少了你的笑容来为我的生活增添色彩，我的人生从此就变了。
怡君： 别挂断，荷莉。继续说。
荷莉： 你永远在我心里。当我难过的时候，我会记得你是怎么逗我开心的。我还有好多话想告诉你。话语却无法尽诉我的心情。所以，我明天要到威尔斯教堂跟你道别……
怡君： 说得真美，荷莉
