How much do you love what’s-her-face? Here’s how to count the ways
你爱她有多深，下面就是考虑的几种方法。

Step 1: Consider presentation
Pick out nice, heavy-stock stationery and a pricey pen. An old-fashioned fountain pen is a classy touch
第一步：考虑外观
挑选漂亮的信笺信封和昂贵的钢笔。一支旧式的自来水笔用起来会很舒服。

Step 2: Set the mood
Put on music that moves you, and perhaps place a photo of your love in front of you for inspiration.

第二步：调节心情
放些感动你的音乐，也许在你面前放一张你所爱的人的照片会很好。

Tip:If your handwriting will have her wondering why you think her eyes twinkle like doormen and her lips taste like straw beds, consider hiring a calligrapher.
小贴士：如果你的笔迹想使她想到为什么你认为她的眼睛像看门人那样闪亮，她的嘴唇有稻草床的味道。那你要考虑雇一个书法家。

Step 3: Begin lovingly
Start with a loving salutation—use a pet name or term of endearment.
第三步：信的开始要有趣味
信的开始要有趣味—用一个宠物的名字或是“亲爱的”这样的词语。

Step 4: Make your declaration
Declare why you love this person, listing as many reasons as you can.
第四步：陈述
陈述你爱这个人的原因，尽量多例举理由。

Step 5: Close devotedly
Close your letter with another sentiment of devotion, like “Forever yours.”
第五步：信的结尾要诚恳
信的结尾要诚恳，例如“永远爱你的人”。

Step 6: Check spelling
Check your spelling. Your missive will quickly change from a turn-on to a turn-off if you write that your lover is “eggskwisit” in all ways.

第六步：检查拼写
检查拼写。如果你把所爱的人的名字写错了，你的信件很快会被丢掉。

Tip:Wait a day or two and reread your letter several times before mailing it, so you can gain some perspective.
小贴士：在寄信前等一两天，或是多读几遍，以便看得更清。

Step 7: Add a final flourish
Add a final romantic flourish by sealing the letter the old-fashioned way—with melted wax—and lightly spraying on your signature scent, if you have one. Now await your love’s reply!

第七步：做些最后的装饰
做些最后的装饰将信按传统的方式用蜡封住，如果有香水的话，可以在上面喷些。现在等待度对方的回复吧。
