这是一封来自十年后的信件——

This is a letter from ten years into the future

假如，武汉也有快进键……

If Wuhan had a fast forward button……

Hi

现在是2030年

It’s 2030

又是一个早春三月

Another early spring

此刻，窗外晨光初露

At this moment, rays of morning light are shining through the window

早樱已缀上枝头，远望如雪

Cherry blossoms look like snow

正如十年前大家常说的那样

As everyone said ten years ago

没有一个冬天不可逾越

There is no insurmountable winter

又一个春天，如约而至

Another spring has come as expected

这十年来

In the past ten years

时常回望那段 武汉被按下暂停键的日子

I often look back at the days when Wuhan’s pause button was pressed

一段 让人忽然长大的日子

Days when we suddenly grew up

我记得那些逝去的生命

I remember those lost lives

那些深夜里无声的哭泣

And the silent sobbing on late nights

在那个冬天

In that winter

我一下子懂得

It dawned on me

原来，人会如此脆弱

That human beings can be so fragile

原来，失去可以来得这么急

That losses can happen so fast

我也记得那些英雄的背影

I also remember the backs of those heroes

逆着人流的方向行进

Going against the human flow

匆忙，却坚毅

Hurriedly, but with resolution

但那段日子 我才发现

I realized in those days

英雄与浪漫无关

That heroes have nothing to do with romance

他们只是在被需要的时候

站了出来，走向前去

They just step forward when needed

我更记得那段日子

I remember better the footprints those days have left

在历史长河中留下的印记

On the long history of humankind

一场危机到来

When a crisis comes

既有“山川异域，风月同天”的情谊

There is not only friendship that transcends borders

也曾有歧视与冷漠的伤害

But also harm caused by discrimination and apathy

但没关系

But it doesn’t matter

有一点已被时间证明

One thing has been proven by time

中国的牺牲、努力和贡献

China’s sacrifices, efforts and contributions

护卫了家园

Protected its homeland

也为世界赢得了经验

And gained experience for the world

人，真的可以在一夜之间长大

A person can really grow up overnight

生与死

Life and death

苦与乐

Bitterness and happiness

求真 敬畏

Truth and awe

责任 坚守

Responsibility and persistence

奋斗 希望

Struggle and hope

这些好像很遥远的词

These seemingly distant words

都在那段日子 变得无比真切 清晰

Became indescribably real and clear in those days.

后来的十年里

In the next ten years

我走过许多地方

I’ve traveled to many places

为了 不负成长 不负期望

In order to grow and to live up to expectations

世界也在前行 朝着更好的方向

The world is also advancing, in a better direction

敬畏自然 尊重生命

With awe for nature and respect for life

医学进步 科技昌明

Medical science is progressing and technology flourishing

这个星球上

On this planet

友善变得更多 冷漠在减少

Friendliness has been growing and apathy declining

因此，今天的我

Therefore, today

很想对十年前的你说一声谢谢

I would like to say “thank you” to the you from ten years ago

谢谢你在焦虑与恐惧中没有轻言放弃

Thank you for not giving up in anxiety and fear!

谢谢你在远离校园时没有让光阴溜走

Thank you for not letting your time slip away while being far away from campus!

谢谢你在苦难中始终相信光亮

Thank you for always believing in light when facing hardships!

更谢谢你从“武汉的孩子”，向着“中国的少年、世界的少年”倔强生长

Thank you for having grown strongly from “a child of Wuhan” into “a teen of China” and “a teen of the World”!

有人说

Some say

瀑布之所以成为奇观，

Waterfalls are wonders

是因为它有绝处求生的勇气

Because they have the courage to survive a dire situation

人生，又何尝不是如此

Life is in no way different

因此

So

请你一定一定相信

Please, please believe

你所经历的一切

Everything you have gone through

都会变成有意义的生长

Will become meaningful growth

2020年你所经历的一切，已经融入未来，改变人生的走向

Everything you experienced in 2020 has been integrated into the future, and changed the course of life.

十年后，你会变成我

In ten years’ time, you will become me

你会看到

You will see

人间山河 已恢复模样

Mountains and rivers have regained their looks

武汉的春天

So has the spring in Wuhan

依旧 江水团团 樱花漫天

Where rivers flow and cherries blossom

更重要的是

More importantly

你已经变得更好

You have gotten better

这就是我们相信的 时间的力量

This is the power of time we believe in

给每个选择勇敢的你

To everyone who chose to be brave
