以下是这封信的英文译版,应该到Johnny 手上的就是这个版本了。俺看了几篇好像也没觉得有多大翻译方面的问题,基本表达了写信人的原意吧。
Dear Johnny:
I write to you every now and then these days in my spare time. This letter may be the last one.
I just want you read through patiently. Although my words are not all in praise of you, they are all from the bottom of my heart. When you read them, you will see.
There are your backups and a group of angels cherishing you in China.
www.52johnnyw.com is we Chinese angels' home. This site was once very impressive, and have thousands of registers. Building this site, I just hoped to gather the people who love you to support you, and take care of you.
Being the manager, I always felt happy to keep the Chinese angels' family developing harmoniously.
I know Figure skating for a long time, but I fell in love with it all because of you.
I don't know how many angels fell in love with skating because of you just like me. I also don't know how many angels give up this beautiful play because of you.
I only know that you are falling down after season 04-05, helplessly falling down to the nightmare you set up for yourself.
Unsteadily leaping, self-confidence fading, although you have good health. LP seems to be your choke point, and also all angels' nightmare. Your pearlescent confidence and courage once so attractive, but we never see them again.
I never compared you with other active service male players. It's not because I prefer you and look down up on others. It's because I believe you are unique, and I believe in your skating talent.
And I believe that you would be the top one because you got in touch with skating when you were 12 and finish 2A in only two weeks. You are amazing genius. And you should develop your talent.
You are wasting yourself. It's unforgivable.
Genius belongs to the world. But you don't care it, and let it down.
From the last season, I haven't enough courage to see Figure skating. Also, A stop looking for the news about you from web all over the world. And what's more, I stop managing China angels' home. Many angels disappear. But I'm sure that.
Even we are not active anymore, we are caring about you, and won't forget you to love other things. We just love you too much to see you down. And I don't know how to watch you, the one make us feel hopeless, even you haven't attend competition.
From the middle of 05-06 season, you seems to be a fading flower. We all don't know why you turned to be like that. Don't you know it hurt our hearts to watch you falling.
We couldn't cheat you and ourselves to say that "Johnny is fine, those mistakes are all temporary". Because we love you all by our hearts, we don't want to see your problem becoming more and more serious.
Your frequently failure in LP may be caused by some psychology problem I looked up it in some medical articles. It is said that fear is a kind of psychology problem, it may lead to serious results. We human always want to run away from fear and nervous. It's just instinct, and may cause uncomfortable physical feelings, especially the sensitive ones.
As it comes to you, you might do something to avoid hurting your body. But your fear and escape feelings lead to your fluster. So your body really hurt. And then you have an excuse to fail. Psychology problems sometimes influence more than physical problems, and may change one's life.
Johnny, I advice you to get a doctor and let expert help you to release your fear. Don't be so nervous and take it easy. Do you remember Alexi Yagudin before 2002 OLY? He did that. And after competition, he said that "Thank to the doctor's help.
Without him, I won't be the champion". It proves that you may relax and ease your mind with their help, and avoiding bad idea and get your confidence back.
To us, Johnny is always a shining conqueror on the ice, and the one we love.
Nearly all the angels are attracted by the Johnny on the ice at the very begining, and slowly understand your other aspects.
I will never forget the youngster airily dance on the ice in the music "Dr.zhivago" and "Otonal". At that time, you devoted your mind to the ice.
Your spirit seems to dissolve with the ice. And at that time, you are an ice angel emiting endless fascination and emotions.
It is said that pure ice is a clear mirror to one's heart, and would reflect one's true soul. What is your reflection now?
Chinese angels' only hope is to see you display your best skating, and to see you leading a happy life. That would also make us feel happy. The only thing hurt us and make us sad is what you do now.
You are burying your brilliance. You are burying the ice angel all by your hands.
Once there was a senior angels grasped my hands, nearly cried. She said she could not watch you anymore. My tears fell then.
I told her that I treasured my tears, but for you, Johnny, my tears seems to be worthless. I put my heart, my soul, and my tears to every letter and message to you. Is this love? I don't know. But I know I cherish you, absolutely.
Along with this letter, I sent a t-shirt. The picture on it was designed and paint all by myself. It is water proofed. That t-shirt is a birthday gift for you last year from all Chinese angels.
It is just a normal t-shirt. But it's also unique.
To prepare for this gift, we organized an countrywide activity called "angel love sending" . It lasted for more than 2 months. This t-shirt was sending among 13 provinces of Chinese 31 provinces. That means it traveled nearly a half of China.
Where it traveled, angels there wrote down words to you from their hearts. So you may feel all Chinese angels' love, wishes, and desire in it.
This gift should have been sent to you last year. But I really don't want to send it to you last summer, in that mood.
Because it's not only a t-shirt, it's also we Chinese angels' heart.
Now I send it to you. Hope you would cherish everything you own, including our hearts and your talent.
One could loose everything, except courage.
One could give up everything, except perseverance and dream.
If you don't care to miss the champion, couldn't step to the World and Oly, and never stand in front of the ice world anymore, if you think your condition is fine, if you just want to waste your time and your life, I would like to say farewell. I would end Chinese Angels. We would let our emotion to you come to an end, although it is not what we want.
So, this is the last time, Johnny. If you still have your dream on ice, if you still love skating, if you still want to construct your ice era, please show us your confidence and courage! I beg you for the last time, please, please don't give up your talent and genius. Please don't let the ice angel become our memory. Please don't let our hope to you die out!
We want to keep on loving you if there is a little hope, no matter there were how many hurts. We hope to see you return, and fly higher. We hope we could see you get to the top and come to a shining "Johnny weir' era"!!
If you may conquer yourself, if you decide to return, I can tell you that we Chinese angels will support you forever. And I will rebuild our Chinese Angel site no matter how many difficulties there will be. Please remember that though Chinese Angels are composed by us, you, and the only you, as a skater, are our Chinese angels' composer.
So whether our family would exist or not all depends on you. Please enkindle your fight and determination to struggle!!!
Sincerely yours: ****
From CHINA
