1. 曾几何时，连曾几何时这个词都变得如此矫情，如果不是在特殊的抒情场合，再也不好意思从词库里调出来使用，连排比这种修辞都变得如此二逼，不仅写诗歌和小说时绝不使用，写杂文时偶尔用了也要斟酌许久。

1. How time flies, even the phrase "how time flies" has become so pretentious that it's no longer dignified to pull it out of the vocabulary, even in special emotional situations.

2. 人到中年，能让我们快乐的而且合法合规的事儿越来越少，大量运动是剩下不多的一个，运动之后，给你合法合规的多巴胺。如果肉身已经不能负担大量运动，说走就走，去散步，去旅行，也好。

2. As we enter middle age, there are fewer things that can bring us joy and are both legal and compliant. Engaging in a lot of physical exercise is one of the few remaining options. After exercising, it provides you with a legal and compliant dose of dopamine. If your physical body can no longer handle intense exercise, then it's fine to simply walk away, go for a walk, or travel. That's also good.

13. 拥有顶级的镶满宝石的嘎巴拉佛珠、老坑冰种帝王绿翡翠十八子手串和一线明星最爱戴的仁波切，也不能证明一个人修佛修得高逼格。高逼格的修佛是在日常的劳作里、阳光里、花花草草里、众生皆苦里、生命终极无意义里，试图体会到蹦蹦跳跳的快活。

13. Possessing the top-tier jewel-encrusted Gharala prayer beads, the old mine ice jade emerald eighteen-character bracelet, and Rinpoche, the favorite of the A-list celebrities, does not prove that a person's practice of Buddhism is of high caliber. High-caliber Buddhism practice is about finding joy in the daily toil, sunlight, flowers and grass, the suffering of all sentient beings, and the ultimate meaninglessness of life.

16. 不可避免的事儿是，一夜之间，活着活着就老了，我们老成了中年。在少年时代，我们看书，我们行路，我们做事，我们请教老流氓们，我们尽量避免成一个二逼的少年。近几年，特别是近两三年，周围的一些中年人被很持续地、很有节奏地拎出来吊打，主要的原因都是油腻。这些中年人有些是我的好朋友，有些是我认识的人，有些我耳闻了很久。他们有的是公共知识分子，有的是意见领袖，有的是相对成功的生意人。?>

16. It's an inevitable matter that, overnight, as we go on living, we grow old and become middle-aged. In our youth, we read books, we travel, we do things, we seek advice from the old rascals, and we try our best to avoid becoming a foolish young man. In the past few years, especially in the last two or three years, some middle-aged people around me have been consistently and rhythmically dragged out and beaten up, mainly because of their greasiness. Some of these middle-aged people are my good friends, some are people I know, and some have been known to me for a long time. They include public intellectuals, opinion leaders, and relatively successful entrepreneurs.

22. 招女生喜欢这件事其实和其他复杂一些的事情一样，天生有就有，天生没就没，少年时不招女生喜欢，中年后招女生喜欢的概率为零。中年后，女生可能喜欢你的其他一切，除了你。如果心中还有不灭的火，正确的心态是，看女色如看山水，和下半身的距离远些，相看两不厌。需要特别注意，和山水不同的是，在征得对方同意之前，请不要盯着女生看，即使忍不住盯着看，也不要一嘴的口水和一双大眼睛里全是要吃掉她的光芒。关于眼神的告诫，也适用于权、钱等其他领域。

22. The fact that something attracts girls' liking is actually like other more complex things – it's something you're born with or not. If you're not liked by girls in your youth, the probability of being liked by them in middle age is zero. In middle age, girls may like everything about you except you. If there's still a burning flame in your heart, the correct attitude is to view women as you would scenery, keeping a distance from your lower half, and appreciating each other without being tired. It needs to be particularly noted that, unlike scenery, do not stare at girls without their consent. Even if you can't help but stare, don't let your mouth drip saliva and your big eyes brimming with the desire to consume her radiance. The caution about the eyes also applies to other fields such as power and money.

23. 我们都是尘埃，过去的那点成就其实都谈不上不朽。中年不意味着生命终结，不意味着我们只能回忆从前。纠集起最好的中学校友、最铁的前同事、最爱的前女友，畅谈一壶茶、两瓶酒的从前，再尬聊，也只能证明我们了无新意。

23. We are all dust, and the achievements of the past are not really immortal. Middle age does not mean the end of life, nor does it mean that we can only recall the past. Gathering the best high school classmates, the most loyal former colleagues, and the most beloved former girlfriend, talking about the past over a pot of tea and two bottles of wine, and then awkwardly chatting, can only prove that we have nothing new to offer.

24. 高逼格的喝酒不是顿顿DRC和波尔多五大庄。高逼格的喝酒是和好玩儿的人喝，是闭着眼能喝出产地、酒庄、葡萄品种、年份，是同样的价钱能挑出非常好喝的酒喝，是喝完能背出很多唐诗和楚辞。

24. High-end drinking is not about having DRC and the five great Bordeaux chateaus every meal. High-end drinking is about enjoying it with fun people, being able to discern the origin, vineyard, grape variety, and year with your eyes closed, selecting very delicious wines at the same price, and being able to recite many Tang and Chu poems after drinking.

25. 一室不扫，何以扫天下？一胖不除，何以除妖魔。

25. If you can't clean one room, how can you clean the whole world? If you can't remove one fat, how can you eliminate the evil demons?
