1、 When you get to know people with different ethnic backgrounds, from different cities and countries, who live at various socioeconomic levels, you begin to realize that everyone basically wants the same things. They want validation, love, happiness, fulfillment and hopes for a better future. The way they pursue these desires is where things branch off, but the fundamentals are the same. You can relate to almost everyone everywhere if you look past the superficial facades that divide us.
结识来自不同种族背景、不同城市和国家，处于社会不同阶层的人后，你会了解到每个人都有同样的基本需求，那就是得到认可、获得爱情和幸福、得以自我实现和对美好明天的希冀。他们追逐梦想的途径各不相同，但本质上是一致的。透过看似不同的肤浅表象你可以理解世界上每一个人。
2、The more things you own, the more your things own you. Less truly gives you more freedom. Read "The Joy of Less".
你拥有的越多，受到的束缚就越大。“简单”真的能给你更多的自由。请读一下《The Joy of Less》这本书。
3、We did not change as we grew older, we just became more clearly ourselves.
长大的岁月里，我们从未变化，只是越来越清晰的成为自己。
4、People who are serious about the relation are moody as they have devoted a lot that makes them worry about gains and losses.
动了真感情的人都会喜怒无常，因付出太多，难免患得患失。
5、Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
执子之手，与子偕老。
6、l wish l knew how to quit you.
我希望我知道如何能够戒掉你。
7、You can hurt with your words but sometimes you can hurt more with your silence.
生活中，你说的话可能会伤到别人，但有时候，你的沉默会让人伤得更深。
8、We met at the wrong time, but separated at the right time. The most urgent is to take the most beautiful scenery; the deepest wound was the most real emotions.
我们在错误的时间相遇，在正确的时间却又分开。走的最急的是最美的景色，伤的最深的是最真的感情。
