2. 这点我到现在还没有想明白，那些明明都是下流的人，为什么凑一起就叫上流社会了呢？

2. This point still hasn't been clear to me. Why do people who are obviously vulgar become known as the upper class when they gather together?

3. 物质的文明对人类并不能说是必要，但是在我们同样生活着的地球上居然还有连镜子都没有看过的人，的确让我惊愕交加，继而对他们无由地产生了一丝怜悯。这样的无知只是地理环境的限制，还是人为的因素，我久久找不到答案。

3. Material civilization cannot be said to be necessary for humans, but it truly shocks and surprises me that there are still people living on Earth who have never seen a mirror. It consequently prompts an inexplicable sense of compassion towards them. Whether such ignorance is due to limitations of the geographical environment or human factors, I have long been unable to find an answer.

4. 人情冷暖正如花开花谢，不如将这种现象，想成一种必然的季节。

4. The changes in human feelings are just like the blooming and withering of flowers. It's better to think of this phenomenon as an inevitable season.

5. 情感只是一种回忆中的承诺，见面除了话当年之外，再说什么就都难了。

5. Emotion is merely a promise in memory; after talking about the past, it's hard to say anything else when meeting each other.

6. 朋友是五伦之外的一种人际关系，一定要求朋友共生共死的心态，是因为人，没有界定清楚这一个名词的含意。

7. 如果你给我的，和你给别人的是一样的，那我就不要了。

7. If what you give to me is the same as what you give to others, then I don't want it.

8. 60很多时候我在沉思，思考这个世界，思考我的生活。但这个忙碌的尘世却要求我少想多做，所以很多时候我都有种幻想美好现实残酷的感觉。

8. Often, I am lost in contemplation, thinking about this world, thinking about my life. However, this busy world demands that I think less and do more, so many times I have a feeling of yearning for a beautiful reality and facing a cruel reality.

9. 我们一步步走下去，踏踏实实的去走，永不抗拒生命给我们的重负，才是一个勇者。

9. We walk step by step, firmly and steadily, never resisting the heavy burden life gives us, and that is what makes a hero.

10. 我觉得我是全世界最聪明绝顶的人。因为有些博士其实见识没有多少长进，只是学会了怎么把一句人都听得懂的话写得鬼都看不懂

14. Dreams can be grandiose, but ideals are the rugged path we forge step by step with our feet.

15. 55欠人钱和欠人情有很大的不同。比如别人欠你一笔钱，拖着久久不还，你已经断然失望，这时，那人突然还钱了，你便会觉得那仿佛是身外之财，不是你的钱，然后挥霍花掉；但若是别人欠你一份情，也久久不还，待到那人还你情时，你会备加珍惜这情。

15. There is a significant difference between owing money and owing a favor. For example, if someone owes you a sum of money and delays repayment for a long time, you may have already become utterly disappointed. When that person suddenly pays back the money, you might feel as if it's extraneous wealth, not your own, and then squander it away. However, if someone owes you a favor and delays repayment for a long time, when that person finally repays the favor, you will cherish it even more.

17. The loneliness came from a major change that happened suddenly the day before, when I cried the whole night, with red, puffy eyes and pale skin. But the next day, I still went to a certain variety show, cautiously asking the producer if I could change my schedule. Instead, I was scolded and told that once I became famous, I was no longer worth it. So, I pretended to be happy and chatted with the hosts, playing tricks to share joy with everyone. Although it was called joy, I was only sharing it with others, and I became more and more lonely.

18. 一个人至少拥有一个梦想，有一个理由去坚强。心若没有栖息的地方，到哪里都是在流浪。

24. My friend, we were not acquainted before and will not meet now, but why should meeting necessitate acquaintance, and why should acquaintance necessitate meeting? Sanmao, "The Story of the Sahara."

25. 数学，我想我只要上到初二就够了。 一个人全面发展当然好，但可能越全面发展越是个庸才。说一个人学习高等数学是为了培养逻辑能力，我觉得逻辑能力是与生俱来的东西，并不是培养出来的东西。古人不学高等数学，难道就没有逻辑能力吗？

25. Mathematics, I think I only need to study up to the second year of junior high school. It's of course good for a person to have a well-rounded development, but it may be that the more well-rounded a person is, the more of a mediocrity they are. Some say that one studies advanced mathematics to cultivate logical ability, but I believe that logical ability is something innate, not something that is cultivated. Did ancient people lack logical ability because they didn't study advanced mathematics?

26. 回忆是很久之后的某一天，你突然经过一个陌生的地方，一瞬间你如同电击一样感受一切似曾相识或者时光倒转，记忆踮起脚尖悄悄地溜走，而你留在原地目瞪口呆或者安静地皱起眉头。那一瞬间你想起了某某某，你想起他曾经在那个生锈的水龙头下冲洗过踢完球后被汗水打湿的头发，又或者你想起她在大雨瓢泼的时候提着裙子走过车流汹涌的马路。他们一瞬消失，一瞬再回来，然后再消失。

26. It was on some long-ago day when, as you suddenly passed through an unfamiliar place, you were struck by an electric sensation of familiarity or a sense of time reversing. Memory tiptoed away silently, leaving you standing still, either gaping or quietly furrowing your brow. In that instant, you remembered someone, recalling how they once washed their hair, drenched with sweat after playing football, under that rusty faucet, or you remembered how she walked through the bustling streets, holding her skirt, during a downpour. They vanished in a flash, then returned just as quickly, and vanished again.

27. 教师不吃香而家教却十分热火，可见求授知识这东西就像谈恋爱，一拖几十的就是低贱，而一对一的便是珍贵。珍贵的东西当然真贵，一个小时几十元，基本上与妓女开的是一个价。同是赚钱，教师就比妓女厉害多了。妓女赚钱，是因为妓女给了对方快乐；而教师给了对方痛苦，却照样收钱，这就是家教的伟大之处。

27. While teachers are not in demand, tutoring is very popular. This shows that seeking knowledge is like dating; those who drag out the process are considered low-class, while one-on-one interactions are valued. Valuable things, of course, are truly expensive, costing several tens of yuan per hour, which is basically the same price as that of prostitutes. While both are making money, teachers are much more skilled than prostitutes. Prostitutes earn money by providing pleasure to others; however, teachers provide pain yet still receive payment, which is the greatness of home tutoring.

28. 对于一个人，心无所归才是真正的流浪，心无所属才是真正的死亡。

28. For a person, true wandering is when the heart has no place to belong, and true death is when the heart has no loyalty.

33. 上海的美女走在街上向来目不斜视，高傲地只看前方，穿马路也不例外；上海的男人却大多目不正视，竭力搜索美女，脸上的肌肉已经被培训得可以不受大脑控制而独立行动，见到美女就会调出个笑，因为如此的关注，所以，在上海只听到车子撞老太婆，鲜闻有车子撞上美女。

33. Shanghai's beauties walk on the streets with their eyes straight ahead, proudly gazing only in front, and this is no exception even when crossing the street; however, most Shanghai men look straight ahead, eagerly searching for beauties, with their facial muscles trained to act independently without the control of the brain. When they see a beauty, they automatically break into a smile. Because of such intense attention, in Shanghai, one only hears about cars hitting old ladies, but rarely about cars hitting beauties.

34. 11街上美女很少，因为这年头，每天上一次床的美女比每天上一次街的美女多。举凡女孩子，略有姿色，都在大酒店里站着；很有姿色，都在大酒店里睡着；极有姿色，都在大酒店经理怀里躺着。

34.11 There are very few beautiful girls on the streets, because in these times, there are more beautiful girls who have sex once a day than those who go out on the streets once a day. Girls with a bit of charm are standing in the big hotels; those with a lot of charm are sleeping in the big hotels; and those with the utmost charm are lying in the arms of the hotel managers.

35. 夏至是短头发，白衬衣。是骑着单车匆忙地驶过覆盖着树阴的马路的岁月。那些停留在单车上的曰子，我们匆忙地从城市的这个角落骑向另一个角落。我们彼此拍着肩膀挥舞着校服的外套，彼此放声大笑挥汗如雨。因为我们知道夏至就要到来，阳光灿烂的曰子是全世界最盛大是节气。永远没有忧伤的曰子，永远没有欺骗的曰子，永远没有毕业的曰子，永远没有遗忘的曰子。我们的青春绵延百里，谁都相信我们可以感动整个世界。即使谁都不相信可是还有我相信。

35. Solstice is short-haired, in a white shirt. It's the days of racing on bicycles across streets shaded by trees in a hurry. Those days spent on the bike, we would rush from one corner of the city to another. We would pat each other's shoulders, flapping our school uniforms, laughing heartily, sweating buckets. Because we knew solstice was approaching, the days of sunshine were the grandest of all seasons. Days without sorrow, without deceit, without graduation, without forgetfulness. Our youth stretched for miles, everyone believed we could move the whole world. Even if no one else believed, there was still me who did.

36. 爱情从希望开始，也由绝望结束。死心了，便是不再存在着任何我曾经对你有过的希望。

38. 有时候，不是对方不在乎你，而是你把对方看的太重。

38. Sometimes, it's not that the other person doesn't care about you, but rather that you place too much importance on them.

39. 35家庭就像一座山，双方都要拼命往上爬，而山顶只容一个人站住脚。说家像山，更重要的是一山难容二虎，一旦二虎相向，必须要恶斗以分轩轻。通常男人用学术之外的比如拳脚来解决争端,所以说，一个失败的女人背后大多会有一个成功的男人。

39. 35 A family is like a mountain, where both partners have to struggle to climb to the top, but only one person can stand firm on the peak. It is more important to say that a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and once two tigers face each other, they must engage in fierce battles to determine who is superior. Usually, men resort to methods other than academics, such as fist and foot combat, to resolve disputes. Therefore, behind most unsuccessful women there is usually a successful man.

40. 爱情的滋味复杂，绝对值得一试二尝三醉。

40. The taste of love is complex, and it is absolutely worth a try, a second try, and even a third intoxication.

46. 自由自在的生活,在我的解释里,就是精神的文明。-------三毛《撒哈拉的故事》

46. A carefree life, in my interpretation, is the civilization of the spirit. ------- Sanmao, "The Story of the Sahara"

47. 夏至是凉席上睡出的汗水印记。翻个身听到稀薄的蝉鸣漏进窗户，再然后越来越清晰于是睁开眼就看到满世界的阳光。打开冰箱拿出半个西瓜，勺子插在上面向是胜利的旗帜。拿出写字本一笔一画地写着工整的中文字，老师说这个暑假要写满一百页。写到快要吃晚饭的时候就打开电视机，机器猫永远比中文字吸引人。那一年你十一岁。在小学里你是个调皮的孩子。永远做不完暑假作业。永远拿不到第一名。

47. The Summer Solstice is the sweat stains left on the bamboo mat. Turning over, I hear the thin sound of cicadas filtering through the window, and then it becomes clearer and clearer. When I open my eyes, I see the sunlight everywhere. I open the refrigerator, take out half a watermelon, and the spoon stuck in it is like a flag of victory. I take out a writing pad and write neatly in Chinese characters, the teacher said I had to write one hundred pages this summer. By the time I was about to eat dinner, I turned on the television, and the little cat from the television show was always more attractive than Chinese characters. That year, you were eleven years old. In elementary school, you were a mischievous child. There was always more summer homework than you could finish. You could never win first place.

48. 从容不迫的举止，比起咄咄逼人的态度，更能令人心折。

53. 每想你一次，天上飘落一粒沙，从此形成了撒哈拉。每想你一次，天上就掉下一滴水，于是形成了太平洋。---三毛《撒哈拉的故事》

53. Every time I think of you, a grain of sand falls from the sky, and thus the Sahara was formed. Every time I think of you, a drop of water falls from the sky, and so the Pacific Ocean was formed. --- Sanmao, "The Story of the Sahara"

56. There were always inexplicable troubles during the period of dating, but after the wedding ceremony, they all naturally disappeared.

57. 中国看不起说大话的人。而在我看来大话并无甚，好比古代妇女缠惯了小脚，碰上正常的脚就称“大脚”；中国人说惯了“小话”，碰上正常的话，理所当然就叫“大话”了。敢说大话的人得不到好下场，吓得后人从不说大话变成不说话。

57. The Chinese look down upon those who talk big. In my opinion, there's nothing much to big talk, just like ancient women who were accustomed to having small feet, and when they encounter normal feet, they call them "big feet"; Chinese people are accustomed to saying "small talk", and when they encounter normal conversation, it's only natural to call it "big talk". Those who dare to talk big never have a good ending, which frightens later generations into not talking big, and even not speaking at all.

71. Memory is the fragrant camphor tree in summer, its rich aroma spreading through the air like a river, permeating the playground. On a summer afternoon, the playground is deserted, the fierce sun blazing down, the green grass along the track glistening with light.
