給年輕朋友的一封信英語作文

My dear friend

I know of no medicine fit to diminish the violent natural inclination you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper remedy. It is the most natural State of man, and therefore the state in which you will find solid reason against entering into it at present appears to be not well founded. The circumstantial advantages you have in view by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with the thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the man and woman united that makes the complete human Being, Separate she wants his force of body and strength of reason; he her softness, sensibility and acute discernment. Together they are most likely to succeed in the world. A single man has not nearly the value he would have in that state of union. He is an incomplete resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors.

If you get a prudent, health wife, your industry in your profession, with her good economy, will be a fortune sufficient.

　　Your affectionate Friend
