5月18日是五郎的生日，来看看邮件吧。
Listen, my fondness for sweet foods somehow reached the ears of the soldiers at Watatsumi Island . As a result, they prepared a cake for me, saying, "Gorou, please take it."
Conditions at Watatsumi Island are not that well, and I should exercise restraint as a general... But if I refuse this cake, I'm afraid I'll disappoint them.
So I try to put myself in their shoes! If I receive a letter asking for help in a similar situation, how should I give advice?
"Share this cake with soldiers and friends, and when there is something good in the future, share it with others."
Yep! That's the way to go!
Let's have the cake together!
精读如下：

fondness /ˈfɑːndnəs/ n. 爱好；喜爱
听我说，我喜欢吃甜食的事情，不知怎么传到了海祇岛将士们的耳边，结果，大家为我准备了一个蛋糕，说什么「五郎大哥一定要收下」…

exercise restraint 厉行克制
海祇岛的物产不算丰富，为将者也应保持克制…但我要是拒绝，就更对不起大家的心意了。
So I try to put myself in their shoes! If I receive a letter asking for help in a similar situation, how should I give advice?
put myself in their shoes 设身处地为他们想想
于是，我尝试着换位思考！如果是我收到了一封类似情况的求助信，该如何给对方建议。
"Share this cake with soldiers and friends, and when there is something good in the future, share it with others."
Yep! That's the way to go!
「和将士、朋友们共同享用这个蛋糕，未来有什么好东西的时候，也和大家一起分享。」
嗯！我觉得可行！
一起来吃蛋糕吧！
