邮件原文：
Do you have any customs that you follow on your birthday?
In the past, my master knew that I didn't need material possessions, so she would only send me a blessing on this day. Thus, I've only recently learned of the custom of eating longevity noodles on one's birthday.
However, longevity in of itself is not something I want to pursue. Rather, I would like to spend that longevity with the people I have formed a bond with.
I asked my master who excels in cooking for advice on how to prepare it well, but she wanted me to figure it out by myself.
I don't know how much I've figured out. I guess that will be for you to judge.
I'll be waiting.

Do you have any customs that you follow on your birthday?
In the past, my master knew that I didn't need material possessions, so she would only send me a blessing on this day. Thus, I've only recently learned of the custom of eating longevity noodles on one's birthday.
possession /pəˈzeʃn/ n. 个人财产，所有物
longevity noodles 长寿面
在你那边，过生日的这一天，需要遵循什么习俗吗？
以往师父知我不需身外之物，每到此日，只会送上一句祝福。因此，生日要吃「长寿面」这种说法，我也是最近才学来的。
However, longevity in of itself is not something I want to pursue. Rather, I would like to spend that longevity with the people I have formed a bond with.
我无意追求寿命的长度，却想与结缘之人相处得长久。
I asked my master who excels in cooking for advice on how to prepare it well, but she wanted me to figure it out by myself.
excel in v. 在……方面胜过；在……方面很擅长
我向擅长烹饪的师父请教，要怎样才能将它做得足够好吃，师父却希望我自己领悟。
I don't know how much I've figured out. I guess that will be for you to judge.
I'll be waiting.
我不知道自己究竟悟出了几分，或许这只能由你来评判。
我等你来。
