在遥远的东方，有一个流传千年的美丽传说。这里，每一粒沙都讲述着适应与发展的故事，每一句话都承载着经久不衰的情感。如今，让我们一同走进这片沙漠，探寻那些可爱好听的沙砾之间，隐藏的古老智慧。

In the distant east, there is a beautiful legend that has been passed down for thousands of years. Here, every grain of sand tells a story of adaptation and development, and every word carries enduring emotions. Now, let us all venture into this desert together, exploring the hidden ancient wisdom among those lovely and pleasant sand grains.

1. 十八、我们都在想对方会不会想念自己。我们都在心里，期待对方主动。所以，我们有自己的担心。最后，我们渐行渐远。

1. Eighteen, we are all wondering if the other person is missing us. We both have expectations in our hearts for the other to make the first move. So, we have our own concerns. In the end, we gradually drift apart.

2. 二十一，很多时候我自己挖了一个坑，然后义无反顾的跳了进去。我自己挖洞，自己跳，最后爬不出来了。

2. Twenty-one, many times, I've dug a hole myself and then jumped into it without hesitation. I dug the hole, jumped into it, and finally couldn't climb out.

3. 记得在你结婚那天给我寄一张请柬。我见过你哭和笑。终于，让我再见到你。

3. Remember to send me an invitation on the day of your wedding. I have seen you cry and laugh. Finally, let me see you again.

4. 十四、你以为他会被热情和主动打动。你以为你吃亏了他会心碎。其实没有这回事。只有你一次又一次的下贱。

4. Fourteenth, you thought he would be moved by enthusiasm and initiative. You thought that if you were at a disadvantage, he would be heartbroken. But actually, that's not the case. It's only you who are being despicable time and again.

5. 十五、风吹乱了她的头发，裙子上沾了些酒渍。她说，她可以爱上烟酒、深夜、鲜血和铁锈，但她再也不能爱上任何人。

5. Fifteen, the wind ruffled her hair, and her skirt was stained with some wine spots. She said, she could fall in love with cigarettes, alcohol, the dead of night, blood, and rust, but she could no longer fall in love with anyone else.

6. 后来你发现，爱情本来就是前人栽树后人乘凉的事情。你精心种下的树长大了，被别人凉了。别人种下的幼苗参天，你却遇到了。

6. Later on, you realized that love is always about the trees planted by ancestors for the shade of descendants. The trees you carefully planted have grown up and been shaded by others, while you encountered the saplings planted by others.

7. 我走进了故事，看着故事里的人解释世界的冷漠。我笑了，是的，我还是笑了，那是令人心碎的笑，但也欺骗了所有人的眼睛。

7. I stepped into the story, watching the characters in it explain the world's coldness. I smiled, yes, I still smiled, it was a heart-wrenching smile, but it also deceived everyone's eyes.

8. 也许我只是你生命中的一个替代品，只有我傻傻的把你当成了生命中的必需品。

8. Perhaps I am just a substitute in your life, and it's only my foolishness that treats you as an essential necessity in my life.

9. 你说以后会保护我的时候我差点就信了，然后你就成了别人的英雄。

9. When you said you would protect me, I almost believed you, and then you became someone else's hero.

10. 我以为你很孤独，所以经常粘在你身边，总想着你会为我的热情付出。后来发现你的世界极其精彩，我从来不缺。我知道该是我后退的时候了。

10. I thought you were lonely, so I often stuck close to you, always hoping you would respond to my passion. Later on, I discovered that your world is incredibly fascinating, and I have never lacked for anything. I know it's time for me to step back.

11. 第三，人总是这样。安慰别人的时候，他们是见多识广的。当他们遇到困难时，他们不能立即自拔。他们都懂道理，但是情绪化，故事太撩人。

11. Thirdly, people are always like this. When comforting others, they are wise and knowledgeable. When they encounter difficulties, they cannot pull themselves out immediately. They all understand reason, but they are emotional and the stories are too tempting.

12. 九、你从来没有拒绝过我，也没有让我离开，更没有要求我留下。你爱你是因为我。你想要什么?你不能瞒着我。你很老实，我很难过，左右为难。

12. Nine, you have never refused me, nor have you allowed me to leave, nor have you ever asked me to stay. You love me because of me. What do you want? You can't keep it from me. You're very honest, and I'm really sad, feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.

13. 七、那些我们曾经以为刻骨铭心的事，在回忆的过程中被我们遗忘了。

13. Seven, those things we once thought were etched in our hearts are forgotten to us in the process of recollection.

14. 十三、没人理解我的时候，我学会了不解释；当所有人都不理我的时候，我学会了独处。

14. Thirteen, when no one understands me, I learned not to explain; when everyone ignores me, I learned to be alone.

15. 第四，有人把心交给你，你却视而不见；有些人心里没有你，你却百般思念。

15. Fourthly, someone entrusts their heart to you, yet you turn a blind eye; while some who don't have a place in your heart, you yearn for them deeply.

16. 第二，在你满身荆棘的时候，我拥抱了你。我磨平了你所有的棱角，但后来，我只能看着别人把你捧得近乎完美。

16. Secondly, when you were covered in thorns, I embraced you. I smoothed out all the sharp edges of you, but later, I could only watch others捧 you up to near perfection.

17. 十六、有一天我对你不冷不热，有一天我终于放弃，有一天我和别人在一起，有一天我们完全是陌生人。你会后悔没有珍惜我吗？

17. Sixteen, one day I was lukewarm towards you, one day I finally gave up, one day I was with someone else, and one day we were complete strangers. Will you regret not cherishing me?

18. 十七、我不喜欢抛弃别人，也不喜欢被别人抛弃；我习惯了对身边的人好，也更习惯了对身边的人好。不属于你的感情，绝对不能勉强；不讨好又何苦呢？不能依靠的人，一定是虚幻的。

18. Seventeen, I don't like to abandon others, nor do I like to be abandoned by others; I am accustomed to being good to those around me, and I am even more accustomed to being good to those around me. Emotions that do not belong to you cannot be forced; what's the point of ingratiating yourself? Those who cannot be relied upon must be illusions.

19. 如果有一天，我无缘无故删除你，请原谅我，因为我发现，你的世界真的不缺我。

19. If one day, I delete you without any reason, please forgive me, because I've realized that your world really doesn't need me.

20. 二十三、我们总是不懂得珍惜当下。在不可预知的重逢中，我们以为总会有重逢，总会有说声对不起的机会，却不曾想到，每一次挥手告别，都可能是一次永别；每一声叹息都可能是世界上最后的叹息。

20. Twenty-three, we always fail to appreciate the present. In the unforeseen reunions, we think that there will always be reunions, and always opportunities to say sorry, but we never thought that every time we wave goodbye, it might be a final farewell; every sigh might be the last sigh in the world.

21. 十二、你不能放弃的，不是你喜欢的人，而是你默默付出的自己。当你惊叹自己的努力时，爱上的人其实只是现在的自己。最终，在这场独角戏中，感动的只有你一个人。

21. Twelve, what you cannot give up is not the person you like, but the self you have silently devoted yourself to. When you marvel at your own efforts, the person you fall in love with is actually just the present version of yourself. In the end, in this solo play, the only one moved is you.

22. 二十四、现在一切都是你自己的错，不怪任何人！是你让我失望，让我难过。所以我不会同情怜悯你。除了失望，我对你无话可说。

22. Twenty-fourth, now everything is your own fault, don't blame anyone! It's you who have disappointed me, who have made me sad. So I will not have any sympathy or compassion for you. Besides the disappointment, I have nothing to say about you.

23. 八、成年人的告别仪式很简单。你没有回我的信息，我也没有再发，就这样悄悄地消失在彼此的生活里，好像从来不认识一样。

23. The farewell ceremony for adults is simple. You didn't reply to my message, and I didn't send any either. We just quietly disappeared from each other's lives, as if we had never known each other.

24. 十九，我以为我得到了你的心，可是等她回来，我才知道，我只是她的替代品。

24. Nineteen, I thought I had won your heart, but when she came back, I realized that I was just a substitute for her.
