God gave us our relatives, thank god we can choose our friends.- Ethel Watts Mumford
上帝给予了我们我们的亲人,感谢上帝让我们能够选择自己的朋友。-埃塞尔.沃兹.芒福德(19世纪末20世纪初美国女作家)
Everyone's lives are like a very long sidewalk.Some are well paved. Others,like mine,have cracks,banana skins and cigarette butts.Your sidewalk is like mine but probably not as many cracks...(Max)
每个人的人生都是一条很长的人行道,有的很整洁,而有的象我一样,有裂缝、香蕉皮和烟头。你的人行道跟我的很相像,但或许没有我这么多的裂缝... (马克思)
You are my best friend, you are my only friend.(Max)
你是我最好的朋友,你是我唯一的朋友。(马克思)
Do not worry about smiling, my mouth hardly ever smiles, but it doesn’t mean I’m not smiling in my brain.
别为微笑而忧虑,我也很少在表面上微笑,但这并不表示我没在心里微笑。
The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect. You are imperfect, and so am I. All humans are imperfect, even the man outside my apartment who litters. When I was young, I wanted to be anybody but myself. Dr Bernard Hazelhof said if I was on a desert island then I would have to get used to my own company – just me and the coconuts. He said I would have to accept myself, my warts and all, and that we don’t get to choose our warts. They are a part of us and we have to live with them. We can, however, choose our friends and I glad I have chosen you.
我原谅你是因为你不完美,你不完美,我也是。所有人都不是完美的,即便是那些在我公寓外乱丢垃圾的人。小的时候我想变成除了自己以外的任何一个人,Bernard Hazelhof医生说,如果我在一个孤岛上,那么我就要适应一个人生活,只有椰子和我。他说我必须要接受我自己,我的缺点和其他一切。 我们无法选择自己的缺点,它们也是我们的一部分,我们必须适应它们。然而我们能选择我们的朋友,我很高兴选择了你。
Que sera sera, whatever will be will be.
事实不可强求,顺其自然吧。
