A handwritten letter...I mean sitting down with a blank paper and writing down a short and sincere letter

一封手写的信……我说的是那种拿着一张白纸坐在桌子前面,写一封短而诚恳的信。

As kid my best friend used to send me a letter when she was in summer camp each with a hand made bracelet.

小时候我最好的朋友每年去夏令营都会送我一封信,并且附带一条手工的项链。

I still have them all

我仍然留着每一封信。

and she send me an other one about a year ago for my 31st Bday and it's the most meaningfull gift I've ever recieved.

然后一年前,我三十一岁生日的那天,她又送了我一封信,那是我这辈子收到过的最有意义的礼物。

I read one of these from my now deceased grandparents yesterday while cleaning my garage. I had got something in my eye and had to take a break.

昨天清理我的车库的时候,我读了一封已经过世的祖父母写给我的信。然后我眼睛里就进东西了,不得不休息一会儿。

Same. I still had the letters my students gave to me.

我也一样。我现在还留着学生们给我的信件。

I play in an 11-piece wedding band,

我在一家11人婚庆乐队工作。

At last night’s gig, every single band member received a cash tip inside a handwritten note from the bride and groom thanking us for the amazing music on their special day.

昨晚的演出结束之后,每一名乐队成员都收到了一份现金小费,还有一张来自新郎新娘的手写感谢信,感谢我们在他们最重要的一天表演了这些出色的音乐。

Seeing that note meant way more than the folded $50 bill included with it.

这张感谢信可比附赠的50美元钞票意义大太多了。

I agree. Surely after my grandfather passed, his sister let me read a letter he wrote her when my father was very young. I have never felt closer to my grandfather than when reading that letter.

我同意。在我的祖父离世之后,他的妹妹让我读了一封我祖父在我父亲年纪还很小的时候写给我父亲的信。在读完了那封信之后,我从未感觉与我的祖父关系这么近过。

The crow that i saved brings me random obxts as a present from time to time.

我救下来的那只乌鸦偶尔会给我一些乱七八糟的小东西。

I keep them in a box and they mean worlds to me.

我把那些东西收藏在一个小盒子里,它们对我来说像整个世界一样重要。

Edit:

编辑:

Your replies have been nothing but wonderful. It is absolutely mesmerizing to see people so curious about such amazing animals.

你们的回复真的太好了。看到人们对于这些神奇的动物产生如此大的好奇心,确实很让人入迷。

To answer some of y'all;

回答大家的一些问题:

1: I did not befriend a wild crow from the get go. A baby crow was injured, i brought him to the vet that takes care of both my cat and my Doberman, after that point it became a weird tale of friendship.

第一,我没有一上来就和野生乌鸦交朋友。是一只乌鸦宝宝受伤了,我把他带到了兽医那里,那位兽医也照顾我家的猫和杜宾犬,在那之后我们就产生了一种怪异的友情。

2: No, i unfortunately will not take any pictures or videos as i refuse to share anything personal on reddit (at least to that level, Floki has become a part of my family and his privacy matters as much as mine). My past experiences (a stalker and more) were enough to give me a lesson. Nothing personal. Im sure you are all increbile people. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy.

第二:不,不幸的是我不会发照片或者视频,因为我不想在reddit上分享任何个人的东西(至少在这一层面上,Floki已经成为了我家庭的一部分,因此他的隐私和我的一样重要。)我过去的经历(有人尾随过我,等等)已经足够给我一场教训了。不是对谁有意见。我相信你们都是很棒的人。提前感谢大家尊重我们的隐私。

3: So sorry for not being able to give you an advice on how to befriend such animal. I was lucky/unlcuky to discover a baby crow that was injured and in need for care. Remember that they are wild animals and not pets. Im sure Floki is better off in the wild than being stuck in a farm house somewhere in USA.

第三:不好意思我也没法教你们怎么和这种动物交朋友。我不知道是幸运还是不幸,发现了一只受伤需要照顾的小乌鸦。要记住乌鸦是野生动物,不是宠物。我相信Floki比起困在美国某地的谷仓里,还是在野外自由生活要更好。

4: I hope you all befriend such creature. They are smarter than you can possibly imagine and the presence of one near you is enough to tell you how irrelevant we are as humans compared to some folks in the wild.

我希望你们都能和这种生物交朋友。它们比你想象的要聪明得多,只要你身边能出现一只,你就会意识到我们人类和这些野生动物相比有多么不重要。

Im NOT an expert on crows, i do NOT know how to befriend such animal.

我不是乌鸦领域的专家,我也不知道该怎么和这种动物交朋友。

5: It takes years to form a bond with a wild animal. Remember that crows are pack animals (Murder is what you call a 'pack' of crows, which is fucking cool). They shit, piss and refuse to understand human boundaries. Floki has been inside our house and he was not so kind with the carpet nor the couch. As the name suggests, they are wild animals, always keep that in mind. Whatever they do, it is because they are wild.

你需要花费几年的时间才能和一只野生动物交好朋友。要记住,乌鸦是群居动物(一群乌鸦的量词是“Murder”,太他妈酷了)。它们会到处拉屎撒尿,并且拒绝尊重人类的边界。Floki飞进过我们家屋子,并且对我家的地毯和沙发也不是很友好。正如它们的名字所暗示的,它们是一群野生动物,要记住这一点。不论它们做什么,那都是因为它们是野生动物。

6: My dad has Norwegian ancestors, and he believes in mythology, according to him, Crows and Ravens are the messengers for Oden, the god of wisdom and royalty in Nordic Mythology. He respects the shit out of Floki and his pack.

我的父亲祖上是挪威人,他相信北欧神话,据他所说,乌鸦和渡鸦在北欧神话中是奥丁的信使,是智慧之神,同时也是忠诚的象征。他对Floki和它的鸦群敬佩得五体投地。

Thanks a lot again for your well wishes. I am currently with Floki. . He is staring at the yard, keeping his distance with us. Still looks absolutely beautiful from where i stand. The moment he comes to my lap (he eventually will) , i will let him know about your good wishes.

再次非常感谢大家的祝福。我现在就在floki旁边……他正保持着和我们的距离,盯着草坪看。从我的角度看过去,它仍然特别美。等到它飞到我腿上的时候(我知道它会的),我就会让它知道大家的善意的。

Edit 2: He is on my lap, curiously staring at tne screen and gawking. I've told him about you. We Gawk you so much, i guess.

编辑2:他正在我的大腿上,好奇地一边看屏幕一边叫唤。我跟他说了你们的事情。大概他说的是我嘎嘎喜欢你们吧。

Edit 3: Floki is NOT a Raven. Ravens are larger and are more capable of imitaitng human sounds. Crows are a lot more compact. Floki says 'Cook-ah' when he is excited or Gawks loud. Ravens will straight up tell you to 'fuck off' if they heard it from humans around them.

编辑3:Floki不是渡鸦。渡鸦体型更大,更擅长模仿人类的声音。乌鸦要更小一些。Floki在兴奋起来,或者大声叫的时候会说“咕嘎!”但是渡鸦如果听见周围的人类说“滚犊子”,就会直接学会这句话然后对你用。

Also keep in mind that a grown crow like Floki is more intelligent than a 7 year old human child.

还要记住,Floki这样的成年乌鸦,比起七岁的人类儿童的智力还要高。

Hand picked flowers, and a home cooked meal.

亲手摘的花,还有亲手做的饭。

I'm not a flowers kind of girl in general, but a sweet coworker once gave me a bouquet from her own garden. I loved it so much, I took several photos and (attempted) to dry them so I could keep them longer. My husband "dedicates" me a flower on his rose bushes every spring and I love that as well. It's never picked, but I save a few petals and press them (I'm no good at drying the whole thing still lol) and keep them around.

我总的来说不是喜欢花的女生,但是之前有个人很好的同事送了我一束自己家花园里种的花,我特别喜欢,拍了几张照片,还(试着)晾干了,好留的更久一点。我丈夫也会每年春天在他的玫瑰丛里“为我”挑一朵,我也很喜欢。他从来不会摘下来,但是我会留几片花瓣,展平(我到现在还是不太擅长做干花的一系列流程哈哈哈)然后留在我身边。

And hell yes to home cooked meals!!

哦对,家里做的饭也很好吃!!

DCS_Freak
If you want to dry them, just try and hang them upside down. I still have the rose the girl I danced with on graduation ball gifted me hanging from the side of my fridge

想要做干花的话,只要把花大头朝下挂起来就行了。我现在还留着毕业会上一起跳舞的那个姑娘送我的花,就挂在我的冰箱边上。

mammakatt13
There is nothing in the world better or more meaningful than a ragged bunch of just-picked flowers clenched in a dirty, chubby little fist.

世界上没有什么比一只脏兮兮的小笨手里攥着的刚摘下来乱糟糟的花束更有意义的东西了。

TheRedMarxist
Flowers, if someone gives me flowers. No matter the size, colour or price, then I'll melt away from the warmness.

花,要是有人送我花就好了。不论大小,颜色或是金钱,我都会被这份温暖融化的。

magicrowantree
Especially if they grew them themselves. You know they were thinking about you and putting extra love in until the flowers were ready to be picked!

尤其是自己种的花。你会知道他们是在意你的,并且会把这份爱意融进花朵里面,直到花朵开放被摘下来的那天!

This will probably sound silly, a chocolate bar.

这个或许听起来有点蠢,我想要一根巧克力。

Sometimes you just want to drift away while munching on a chocolate bar. I've been struggling a bit since March and I just want to sit down and eat a chocolate bar then take a good nap.

有时候你可能只想边嚼着巧克力边走神。我自从三月份以来一直过得不太如意,现在我只想坐下来吃一根巧克力,然后打个盹。

something homemade

You know what really means the world to me? It's this tiny, beat-up old journal my little sister gave me for my birthday one year. It didn't cost much, just a few bucks, but it's filled with her doodles, little notes, and memories we've shared together. Every time I flip through those pages, it's like taking a trip down memory lane. It's not about the price tag, it's about the love and thoughtfulness that went into it. That journal may be small and cheap, but to me, it's priceless.

你知道对我来说比全世界都重要的东西是什么吗?是这个又小又旧的日记本,我有一年过生日的时候妹妹送给我的。其实并不贵,只有几美元,但里面全都是她的涂鸦,笔记,还有我们共同的记忆。每次我翻开这本日记的时候,我都像是沿着记忆的旅途重新走了一遍。价格并不重要,重要的是其中包含的爱意和关怀。这本日记或许又小又便宜,但是对我来说它是无价之宝。

madbamajama1
Anything random that says, "I saw this and thought of you." It can be a meme, a video, whatever. Someone I used to be closer to recently texted me an old music video that she said reminded her of me. It was completely out of the blue and I was blown away.

任何一个能让我觉得,“我看到这个就会想起你”的东西。可以是一个梗,一段视频,随便。我有一个曾经很亲密的朋友,最近发了我一首老歌的MV,跟我说她看到这个之后想起我了。完全出乎意料的一段信息,把我弄破防了。

Pretzels. I don't make much money these days, somedays I have to skip eating to save money. So food has become very meaningful to me.

碱水包。我最近赚不到几个钱,有时候我得饿肚子给自己省钱。所以食物对我来说非常重要。

It's almost my birthday, and all I want is a big bag of salted pretzels. It can be sticks or twists I don't care. I just love me some pretzels and I really hope to get some for my birthday this year even though I know people won't gift it to me because they think it's too cheap.

我马上要过生日了,我现在想要的只有一大包咸味的碱水包。可以是面包棍,面包结,啥样都行。我只是想要几个面包而已,我真的希望在我今年的生日能得到几个面包,尽管我知道人们是不会送我这种东西的,因为他们会觉得这种东西太便宜了。

TheRedMarxist
That's the problem sometimes, people will often gift expensive while beautiful and meaningful stuff. While there are some more personal and emotional gifts to be found much cheaper. Of course other person won't easily know this unless you are close friends.

有时候问题就出在这里,人们经常会送一些很昂贵的礼物,又漂亮又有意义。但却也有一些更个人,更富有感情的礼物,可以用更加便宜的价格买到。当然了,除非你们彼此是非常亲密的朋友,否则收礼物的人可能不会很轻易地知道这件事。

I am a normal functioning relatively successful human in my mid-40s and have an honest to god archenemy. I could go into detail, but the important part is we happen to have the same friend circle but absolutely despise one another.

我是个功能正常,相对成功的40多岁的人类,并且老天爷作证,我有个死对头。我可以细说,但重点在于我俩的朋友圈一样,然而我俩互相看不顺眼到了极点。

A few years ago we had a huge secret Santa and she got me. She crocheted me a small squid with a card saying "I will crush you." It is far and away my favorite gift ever and has been on my monitor since I got it.

几年前我们办了一次规模很大的神秘圣诞老人活动,她抽到的是我。她给我缝了个毛线的小鱿鱼,附赠了一张小卡片,上面写着“我会把你碾成渣。”这是我这辈子最喜欢的礼物,我收到之后就一直把它放在自己的显示器上。

digitalnirvana3
I think this is the start of the archenemy turned soul mates love story

我感觉这就是死对头变成灵魂挚友爱情故事的开头

TwoIdleHands
This is like Professor X/magneto level. This isn’t some ho who ruined your life, this is like “no one gets to kill you but me” level stuff and I love it!

这简直是万磁王和X教授。这不是什么毁了你的人生的那种人,这是那种“除了我没人配杀死你”级别的东西,我可太喜欢啦!

My step daughter who is now 13 writes me a letter and puts it in the mailbox every year for my birthday for the past 4 years. It’s the most beautiful gift I ever get.

我13岁的继女在过去的四年里,每年都会在我的生日那天给我写一封信放进收件箱里。这是我这辈子收到过的最美的礼物。

Strange-Show-55
A handwritten letter or a homemade card - it's like receiving a piece of someone's heart.

手写的信,或是自制的贺卡——这就像是收到了别人的心的一部分。

Cost was nothing, but it's worth was priceless, plus it earned me a bunch of jobs

成本不重要,但价值是最重要的,而且还给我找到了不少活儿。

I work as a handyman. A clients grandson, who was about 5 at the time did a drawing of me doing a bunch of jobs. I then used it to explain "what it is I do" on a couple Facebook posts for a large local community page. It got me hundreds of jobs.

我是个杂务工。有个客户的孙子,当时大概五岁,给我干的活画了几张画。我于是用这几张画,在Facebook上一个规模挺大的本地社区页面发了几个帖子,解释“我都干什么工作”。然后我多了好几百个活。

I went back and, with the parents permission, gave the lad some money.

在征得父母同意后,我给了那孩子一笔小钱。

kndeir_6648
nothing much, just hanging out with me, snacking, and even if the gift is just a book or something, I still appreciate it. Maybe it's because I've been lonely for so long that I easily relent

没什么,只要能和我一起打发时间,吃点零食,甚至哪怕礼物只是一本书什么的,我也仍然会很感激。或许是因为我孤独了太久,很容易就能答应别人。

marcodeepolo
I don't know if this counts as a gift, but hugs. I love hugs so much that if someone told me they didn't have a gift for my birthday but they had a big hug, i would accept without hesitation.

我不知道这算不算礼物,拥抱吧。我特别喜欢拥抱,如果有人跟我说他没准备我的生日礼物,但是可以给我抱抱的话,我会毫不犹豫地接受的。

tamii_sv
flowers, even the ones picked up by the side of the road, so thoughtful and kind and considerate. so simple but so beautiful

花,哪怕是路边摘的也行,又有心意又善良又体贴,简单却又很美。

Christmas 2015, my eldest daughter (8 years old at the time) gave me a pack of playing cards from Sports Direct that cost 80p which was the last of her pocket money.

2015年的圣诞节,我的大女儿(那年8岁)给了我一包从Sports Direct买的扑克牌,80美分,是她口袋里最后的零钱。

That was all I got for Christmas thar year. They are one of my most treasured possessions, and they still have not been opened.

那是我那一年圣诞节收到的唯一一份礼物。也是我最为珍视的东西之一,我到现在还没有开封。

One year when my parents were having some financial troubles my mom still wanted to send me a birthday gift so she wrote a bunch of her recipes on cards and mailed them to me, probably my favorite birthday gift I've ever gotten.

有一年我爸妈遇到了经济上的困难,但我妈妈还是想送我一份生日礼物,于是她在贺卡上手写了几个自己的拿手菜菜谱邮给了我,可能是我收到过的生日礼物里面最喜欢的一个。

My boyfriend (now husband) bought me a watermelon for my birthday. I don’t like cake, so my family, him and I, cut the watermelon. It was a yellow watermelon also, that was the first time I was eating a yellow watermelon.

我男朋友(现在的老公)在生日那天给我买了个西瓜。我不喜欢吃蛋糕,于是我的家人,我,还有他,一起把西瓜给切了。而且那还是个黄瓤西瓜,那还是我第一次吃黄瓤西瓜。

When I was 5, I went on vacation with my family to New Orleans. I got my grandmother a tiny duck statute thing from a gift shop. When we got home, I remember gently wrapping the package to mail to her across the country, and eagerly taking it to the post office with my mom.

我五岁那年,跟家人一起去新奥尔良度假。我去礼物商店给我奶奶买了个小鸭子雕像之类的玩意儿。我们回家之后,我还记得自己小心翼翼地把礼物包装起来,准备邮寄到国家的另一头,然后带着礼物跟我妈妈焦急地前往邮局。

She called me the day it arrived in the mail with so much joy in her voice. She even came to visit a few months later, and brought the duck on a visit.

收到礼物的那天,奶奶给我打了个电话,声音特别开心。她甚至几个月后来看我们了,带着那个小鸭子。

She passed away when I was 6, and while we were cleaning out her home, I found the duck, on her bedside table, carefully packed it up, and put it in my backpack to bring back home.

我6岁那年她去世了,我们整理她的房间的时候,我找到了那个小鸭子,就在她床头的桌子上,于是我小心地把它打包好,收进了我的背包里,把它带回了家。

Over 30 years later, that tiny duck sits in my bathroom, and it’s my most treasured item. If our house were to catch fire tonight, I have no doubt, my husband would run in there and grab the duck before anything else.

三十多年之后,那个小鸭子还在我的浴室里,已经变成了我最珍视的物品。如果我们家的房子今晚起火,我毫不怀疑,我老公会冲进去先把这个鸭子抢出来。

When my sister and I were both in our 20s, neither of us had much money for gifts. I was in medical school, and in her art class she had done a pencil drawing of an anatomical skeleton model as one of her assignment.

我和我妹妹都二十多岁的时候,我们俩都没什么钱买礼物。当时我在医学院,她在上美术课的时候,画了一幅解剖人体骨架当做自己的作业。

She frxd that and gave it to me. It is currently hanging in my office at the hospital, 20 years later, right next to my anatomical skeleton and my family photos.

她把这张画裱了起来,送给了我。二十年后,这幅画正挂在我的办公室里,就在我的人体骨骼模型和我的全家福旁边。

Told my daughter I wanted nothing for Christmas. Didn’t need anything. She got me a jar and wrote on it Jar of Nothing. Attached a really sweet note and it now sits in a place of pride in my home bar.

我跟我女儿说圣诞节我啥也不要。我啥也用不着。于是她给我买了个罐子,上面写着“一罐啥也没有。”附了一张特别可爱的便签,现在它骄傲地站在家庭吧台上面。
