More than a million people around the world have told Frank
Warren their deepest secrets.
世界各地有超过一百万的人把他们藏得最深的秘密告诉给弗兰克·沃伦。
People have mailed him confessions, disappointments, and
their hopes for the future. They do not tell Warren who they
are.
人们发邮件告诉他自己的忏悔、失望和他们对未来的希望。但是他们不告诉沃伦他们是谁。
Warren shows his favorite postcards online and in exhibits.
And he shares them with people in popular
presentations.
沃伦在网上和展览上展示出他最喜欢的明信片。他还在受欢迎的演讲中与人们分享这些明信片。
“Dear birth mother: I have great parents. I found love. I'm
happy.”
“亲爱的生身母亲：我拥有伟大的父母。我获得了爱。我很幸福。”
“I give decaf to customers who are rude to me.”
“我把脱因咖啡给对我无礼的顾客。”
“Everyone who knew me before 9/11 believes I'm
dead.”
“在9.11事件发生前认识我的人都认为我已经死了。”
Ten years ago Warren began what he thought would be a small
social experiment.
十
年前，沃伦开始了一个他认为将会是小型的社会实验。
“I wanted to find out if people had secrets and if they did,
if they'd share them with me. So I printed up 3,000 self-addressed
postcards with my home address on one side and a blank space for
them to write down a secret -- something they'd never told anyone
before -- and decorate the card with artwork and mail it to my
home.”
“我想知道人们是否都有秘密，如果他们有秘密，他们是否会愿意与我分享。所以，我打印了3000张明信片。这些明信片一面印有我家的地址，另一面留下一片空白给人们写下他们以前从未告诉过任何人的秘密，并装饰有艺术插画和把它寄到我家这句话。”
Many people wrote their secrets on the card and mailed them
to him.
有很多人在卡片上写下他们的秘密并把卡片寄给他。
Warren put some of them on his website and published some of
them in books.
沃伦把其中一些明信片放到他的网站上并且把一些明信片发表到书里。
Soon, people from Ireland, Japan, South Africa, the United
Kingdom, Greenland and Australia were writing their secrets on
their own postcards and mailing them to him in different
languages.
不久，爱尔兰人、日本人、南非人、英国人、格陵兰岛人和澳大利亚人纷纷用各自的语言把他们的秘密写在自己的明信片上寄给他。
“Ten years later I've received over a million and they keep
coming -- six days a week.”
“十年里我收到了超过一百万张明信片，并且现在一周里有六天能不断收到明信片。”
Warren reads -- and keeps -- every single
postcard.
沃伦阅读并保存着每一张明信片。
“I believed that if I could create a safe, non-judgmental
place where people could share these hidden fantasies and fears and
hopes, desires, humiliations and funny stories, hidden acts of
kindness, it could really be something special.”
“我相信，如果我能创造出一个安全的、中立的地方给人们分享那些隐藏的幻想、恐惧和希望；愿望、屈辱和有趣的故事还有隐藏的善举，这可能真的很特别。”
He calls his project “PostSecret.”
他把自己的项目叫做“寄出秘密”。
More than half a million postcards from the project are shown
at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum in Washington. Emily
Murgia works at the museum.
项目中的明信片有超过50万张在华盛顿史密森国家邮政博物馆里展出。艾米丽·穆尔贾在那个博物馆工作。
“People love this exhibit. We'll come in, and it's just full
of people who will stay here for hours even, going postcard to
postcard, having these conversations one-on-one. People will smile
at some, laugh, we see people crying. They find a piece of
themselves inside these secrets.”
“人们很喜欢这个展览。我们将要进到里面了，这里挤满了人。人们在这里呆上几个小时，游览这些明信片，和明信片进行一对一的交流。人们会对一些明信片微笑、大笑，我们还看见有人哭了。他们在这些秘密里看到了某方面的自己。”
“I told him my deepest secret, and he still loves
me.”
“我告诉他我藏得最深的秘密，但他仍然爱我。”
“Seems like no matter what continent, no matter what
language, the secrets are sharing the same fears, the same hopes,
the same desires. And for me it's a privilege that so many people
-- hundreds of thousands -- from around the world have trusted me
with their deepest and true secrets.”
“好像不管什么大陆，无论什么语言，秘密共享着同样的恐惧、同样的希望、同样的愿望。对我来说，这是一项特权，成千上万的来自世界各地的人们信任我、告诉我他们藏得最深的、真实的秘密的特权。”
“Jail isn't anything like the movies.”
“监狱像电影一样什么都不是。”
“Inside this envelope is the ripped-up remains of a suicide
note I didn't use. I feel like the happiest person on earth
now.”
“在这个信封里是我没有使用的被撕毁的遗书。我觉得我现在是地球上最幸福的人。”
This is one of his favorites ...
这是他最喜欢的东西之一···
“When people I love leave voicemails on my phone I always
save them in case they die tomorrow, and I have no other way of
hearing their voice ever again.”
“当我爱的人在我的电话里留言，我总是保存起来，以防他们明天就去世，使得我再没有其他方式可以再次听到他们的声音。”
I'm Christopher Jones-Cruise.
