【《茶花女》小仲马，王振孙 译】 真正的爱情永远是互相尊重，互相体谅，而不是占有和捆绑。爱一个人，不是把对方改造成你想要的样子。人都有过往，都有软弱，都有无法言说的苦衷。爱里珍贵的地方，是接纳对方本来的模样，愿意陪对方一起承担命运带来的沉重。 True love is always mutual respect and understanding, not possession and restraint. To love someone is not to remake them into what you want them to be. Everyone carries a past, weaknesses, and untold hardships. What is precious in love is accepting a person as they are, and being willing to share the weight fate brings together

I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side; and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted. More often than not, it is not hardship itself that torments us, but our endless habit of comparison. Even in terrible surroundings, human beings retain the power to adjust their own minds. Gratitude for what you already possess is the greatest strength that carries you through adversity. 【《鲁滨逊漂流记》笛福，徐霞村 译】 我学会了多看我处境中光明的一面，少看阴暗的一面；多想我所得到的，少想我所缺少的。很多时候折磨我们的不是困境本身，而是我们永不停歇的比较之心。哪怕环境恶劣，人依然有能力调整自己的想法。感恩所拥有的，是在逆境之中支撑人走下去最重要的力量。

【《飞鸟集》泰戈尔，郑振铎 译】 我们看错了世界，反说世界欺骗了我们。生命不是一场索取，而是一场相遇。每一阵风，每一朵花，每一个擦肩而过的人，都带着独有的意义。不必执着于占有，万物来去自有定时。学会欣赏，学会放手，你才能在流转的时光里，体会生命本身蕴藏的温柔。 We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. Life is not a pursuit of gain, but a series of encounters. Every wind, every flower, every person passing by carries unique meaning. Do not cling to possession, for all things come and go in their own time. Learn to appreciate and learn to let go, then you may feel the tenderness hidden in life amid flowing time.

所有大人最初都是孩子，但这很少有人记得。当你长大以后，你会慢慢学会用数字去衡量一切。你会说一栋房子值十万法郎，它就很漂亮；你会说一个人有几百万，他就是了不起的人。可数字看不到真心，看不到一朵花温柔的力量，看不到一份羁绊独一无二的重量。真正重要的东西，用眼睛是看不见的，只能用心去感受。 All grown-ups were once children, although few of them remember it. When you grow up, you will gradually learn to measure everything by numbers. You will say a house is beautiful if it costs a hundred thousand francs. You will say a person is remarkable if he owns millions. But numbers cannot see the heart, cannot see the gentle power of a flower, cannot see the unique weight of a bond. What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.

《瓦尔登湖》亨利·戴维·梭罗 我们大多数人，都过着平静的绝望生活。所谓习以为常的生活，其实是一种被动的妥协。人们被物质需求绑架，不断追逐更多财富，却丢失内心的安宁。简单的生活，反而更容易看清生命本质。你可以减少不必要的欲望，把时间留给真正重要的事物。 The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. Men are enslaved by material needs, chasing more wealth constantly while losing inner peace. A simple life makes it easier to see the essence of life. You can cut down unnecessary desires and devote your time to things that truly matter.

Freedom means being disliked by others. If you want freedom, you need the courage to accept that some people will dislike you. Many people dare not follow their true heart because they fear criticism. Other people’s judgment belongs to their own task, not your responsibility. You do not have to live to meet other people’s expectations. True freedom is to stop seeking everyone’s approval. 自由就是被别人讨厌。如果你想要自由，就要有勇气接受有人不喜欢你。很多人不敢遵从本心，因为害怕遭到非议。别人的评价只是别人的课题，不是你的责任。你不必为满足他人期待而活。真正的自由，就是不再寻求所有人的认可。

《美丽新世界》阿道司·赫胥黎 人们常常愿意放弃自由，换取安逸与快乐。廉价的欢愉会让人丧失思考能力，慢慢放弃独立人格。真正的幸福，不是永远没有痛苦，而是拥有感受一切、自主选择的权利。没有苦难对照的快乐，会变得空洞乏味。为逃避痛苦交出思考，最终会失去作为人的尊严。 People are often willing to give up freedom in exchange for comfort and pleasure. Cheap joy robs people of thinking ability and makes them abandon independent personalities gradually. True happiness is not a life without pain forever, but the right to feel everything and make choices on your own. Pleasure without the contrast of suffering will become empty and dull. If you surrender thinking to escape pain, you will eventually lose human dignity.

宽容不是赞同别人，而是尊重他人拥有不同想法。人类历史充满冲突，大多源于人们无法接纳差异。每个人成长环境不同，信念自然各不相同。强行让所有人想法一致，只会带来压迫。真正文明的世界，允许不同思想共存，彼此保有尊重。 Tolerance does not mean agreeing with others, but respecting their right to hold different thoughts. Human history is full of conflicts, mostly arising from people’s inability to accept differences. Everyone grows up in different environments, so their beliefs naturally vary. Forcing everyone to think alike only brings oppression. A truly civilized world allows different ideas to coexist and maintains mutual respect.

《沉思录》马可·奥勒留 不要浪费剩余的生命，猜想别人在想什么。把注意力放回自己身上，审视自己的思想、言行。别人的想法无法伤害你，除非你允许它扰乱你的内心。珍惜当下的每一刻，生命一直在流逝，不会为任何人停留。专注做好当下之事，便是对生命最好的敬重。 Do not waste the rest of your life guessing what other people think. Turn your attention back to yourself and examine your own thoughts and deeds. Other people’s thoughts cannot hurt you unless you allow them to disturb your inner mind. Cherish every present moment. Life keeps flowing away and will not wait for anyone. Focus on what you can do right now; that is the best respect for life.

Every rebirth must go through breaking. The process of transformation is bound to be painful. Only when the old self dies can the new self be born. Many people fear breaking familiar life and prefer to stay stuck. Growth cannot avoid pains. All confusion and struggles are necessary steps of transformation. After passing through darkness, you will meet a brand-new version of yourself. 《德米安》赫尔曼·黑塞 每一次新生，都必须经历破碎。蜕变的过程注定痛苦，旧的自我死去，新的自我才能够诞生。很多人害怕打破熟悉的生活，宁愿困在原地。成长无法回避阵痛，所有的迷茫、挣扎，都是蜕变必经之路。穿越黑暗之后，你会遇见一个全新的自己。
