Dear Ex Who Cheated,
致：出轨的前任，
It was the middle of Summer, and we were on a whirlwind two-month vacation across multiple destinations. Our current location: Aruba. We were celebrating our five-year anniversary, and all the milestones life had recently presented us. I had just graduated college, you had just gotten promoted at work. I had just become an aunt, you had just become an uncle. I had just turned down a dream job to remain local, you had not. (And, yes, I was THAT girl.)
那年夏天刚过一半，我们正势如破竹的游走于多个景点，度过我们2个月的假期。现在我们位于阿鲁巴。我刚大学毕业，工作也刚刚升职。我刚晋升为阿姨，你也刚晋升为叔叔。我刚拒绝一份理想的工作留在本地，但你却没有。（是的，我就是那种女孩。）
Infidelity is one of the few events I thought I'd never experience with you, let alone write about, and that was because we shared an inherent level of depth and an unbreakable connection. You were my best friend in every sense of the two-word combination . . . that was until infidelity became an uninvited guest in our relationship.
我从未想过你会出轨，更别提会写出这种事情，因为我们的爱是如此之深、之牢不可破。你真的诠释了什么叫最佳好友--直到出轨成为这段感情的不速之客。
You know the story of our five-year relationship. You were there. You know the story of our breakup. You were there. What you don't know is the aftermath of what you caused, and that is the story I'm here to tell today, because while you were not there, so many others have been. So, this letter is for anyone who has ever been cheated on, as much as it is for you.
你深知这段五年的感情。你就是当事人啊。你也知晓我们的分手。毕竟是当事人嘛。但你不知道的是，分手带来的后果，而今天我要讲的就是这件事，因为你离开我之后，我可不是没人追的。所以，这封信是写给那些"被出轨"的人的，也是写给你的。
It was the last leg of our vacation and just like every day that preceded that one, I rose with the sun, ran two miles, and headed back to our hotel room. There was one difference about that day: it was our five-year anniversary.
那是我们度假的最后一站，像往常一样，我在太阳升起的时候起了床，跑了2公里，然后回到了酒店。但那天稍有不同：那是我们相恋五周年的纪念日。
I noticed your suitcase was packed, your shoes were on, and your face was solemn when we still had two weeks of our vacation left.
我注意到你的行李箱已经打包好了，你也穿好了鞋子，神色庄重，当时我们还有2周的时间才结束假期呢。
I returned to a scene of you setting down a pen next to a notepad on the room desk. At first, I thought you were writing me a note since I had left you an anniversary letter on the pillow next to you before leaving that morning. You were leaving, and it was going to be right then and there, but I couldn't speak. I didn't realize this might be the only time I got to ask questions, to discuss it, to get closure. I tried with all my might, yet I couldn't muster up the ability to speak. So, you left me, and I continued to sit there silently.
我回想起那个场景，你正襟危坐，桌上放着记事本，记事本旁边是支笔。起初，我以为你在给我写便条，因为我早上离开的时候在你的枕边放了一封周年快乐的纪念信。但你要走了，反正你总是会走的，但我却说不出话来。我没有意识到，这可能是我唯一一次可以追问你为什么、去探讨、去找到真相的时候。我竭尽全力，但我却说不出话。所以，你离开了我，我还是呆若木鸡的坐着。
