An Ingenious1 Love Letter
There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl, but disliked by the girl's father, who didn't want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl, yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl:
My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
I even won't like that look yours.
I'll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I'll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn't think it
made me eager to see you again.
If we get married, I firmly believe I'll
live a hard life, I can never
live happily with you, I'll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh2 and selfish and least
solicitous3 and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain5 from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease6 me. You have no
sincere4 care for me. So long! Please believe
I don't love you any longer. Don't think
I still have a love of you!
Having read the letter, the father felt relieved7 and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.
The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully, her lad still had a deep love for her.
Do you know why? In fact, she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and , at last, she found the key only every other line should be read, that is the first line, the third, the fifth and so on to the end.

一个小伙子很爱一位女孩，但女孩的爸爸却不喜欢他，也不让他们的爱情进步下去。小伙子非常想给女孩写封情书，然而他了解女孩的爸爸会先看，于是他给女孩写了如此一封信：
我对你表达过的爱
已经消逝。我对你的厌恶
与日俱增。当我看到你时
我甚至不喜欢你的那副样子。
我想做的一件事就是
把目光移往别处，我从来不会
和你结婚。大家的近期一次谈话
枯燥乏味，因此没办法使我渴望再与你想见。
倘若大家结婚，我深信我将
生活得举步维艰，我也没办法
愉快地和你生活在一块，我要把我的心
奉献出来，但决不是
奉献给你。无人能比你更
苛求和自私，也无人比你更
关心我帮助我。
我真挚地要你了解，我讲的是真话，请你助我一臂之力
结束大家之间的关系，别试图
回话此信，你的信充满着
使我兴趣索然的事情，怀有
对我的真诚关心。再见，请相信
我并不喜欢你，请你不要以为
我仍然爱着你！
女孩的爸爸看了这封信将来，特别高兴地把信给了女孩。女孩看罢信也飞快乐，小伙子依旧爱着她。你了解她为何开心吗？其实，她初读时很忧伤，但她如何也不相信那是他的真心话，于是她又默读了几遍，终于，她了解了该如何读法只能1、3、五行这样类推，直到信的结尾。
