26个字母的爱情含义
The Meaning of Love in 26 Letters

C--Care（关心）
关心的程度正好表现你对她的重视程度，间或打个电话给她关心地问候一句："工作辛苦吗？"又或者发短信给她："天气凉了，别忘了加衣"。这些关心未必有实际用途，但起码能令对方暖在心头。如果还有情书，当然更好。
The degree of your care can show how much you treasure her. Now and then, you should call her and ask whether her work is hard, or send her a short message and remind her of putting on more clothes when the weather gets cool. These cares are of no actual use, but at least they can warm her heart. Of course, love letters will have better effect.
D--Digest（理解）
我们不是圣人，总有情绪起伏的时候，若对方是"凸"的时候，你何不做"凹"去忍耐一下她，安慰一下她呢。

M--Mature（成熟）

等是维系一段感情的基本元素。最重要的是你要与他同步成长，同步走完这段人生路，千万不可一个走先，遗下另一半在后。

Z--Zest（热情）
像小龙女般虽然貌若天仙，却冷若冰霜的情人，除了杨过，相信都没有人愿意跟她一生一世。所以，做爱侣的，适当的热情能加添不少乐趣，但切忌过分。
Nobody is willing to lead his whole life with a beautiful but cold-hearted woman like Little Dragon Maid except Yang Guo, so proper zest can add many pleasures for lovers, but too much zest should be avoided by all means.
