5月18日是五郎的生日，來看看郵件吧。
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!
精讀如下：
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."
fondness /ˈfɑːndnəs/ n. 愛好；喜愛
聽我說，我喜歡吃甜食的事情，不知怎麼傳到了海祇島將士們的耳邊，結果，大家為我準備了一個蛋糕，說什麼「五郎大哥一定要收下」…
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.
exercise restraint 厲行剋制
海祇島的物產不算豐富，為將者也應保持克制…但我要是拒絕，就更對不起大家的心意了。
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 設身處地為他們想想
於是，我嘗試著換位思考！如果是我收到了一封類似情況的求助信，該如何給對方建議。
"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!
「和將士、朋友們共同享用這個蛋糕，未來有什麼好東西的時候，也和大家一起分享。」
嗯！我覺得可行！
一起來吃蛋糕吧！
