经典语录:
Classic sentences:
01 没有谁是一座孤岛,每本书都是一个世界。

02 生活中每一桩糟糕事,几乎都是时机不当的结果,而每件好事,都是时机恰到好处的结果。
Almost very terrible thing in life is due to the bad time, while every good thing is because of the right time.
03 因为从心底害怕不值得被爱,我们独来独往,然而就是因为独来独往,才让我们以为自己不值得被爱。有一天,你不知道是什么时候,你会驱车上路。有一天,你不知道是什么时候,你会遇到他(她)。你会被爱,因为你今生第一次真正不再孤单。你会选择不再孤单下去。
Because we are afriad from our inner heart that we are not worth being loved, we stay alone, which in turn lead us to think that we are not worth being loved. One day, you don't know when, you will set out. One day, you don't know when, you will meet him or her. You will be loved, because it's the first time that you don't feel lonely. You will choose not to be alone.
最后,将书中的一句话送给大家:每个人的生命中都有最艰难的一年,将人生变的美好而辽阔。
In the end, I'd like to quote a sentence from the book: There is the toughest year in everyone's life, but we are able to overcome it and transform our life to be one full of fantastic stories.
