1. On that night, as the insects began to chirp, the symphony of summer played.

25. In the early stages of their relationship, both the man and the woman may arrange appropriate environments more frequently to facilitate the expression of their inner feelings.

29. 24 accidentally saw the starry sky. The stars in the sky were incredibly beautiful: some flashed briefly; some played games in groups of three or five; some whispered together in pairs; some shone like sparkling diamonds; and some were solitary... I always counted them curiously over and over again. The stars blinked their eyes, as if laughing at my foolishness.

30. 35我们所追逐的，在漫长时光里就像个自娱的笑话。

30. 35 What we pursue is, over the long span of time, like a self-amusing joke.

31. 上帝对每个人都是公平的，只是每个人面对烦恼时，考虑问题的角度不同罢了。凡事应该多往好的方面想一想，心中才会有豁然开朗的感觉，眼前才会出现柳暗花明又一村的景象。学会忍让，学会化干戈为玉帛。只有这样，你才能知足常乐，才能不会经常为一些小事而生气伤神。

31. God is fair to everyone; the only difference is that people approach problems from different angles when faced with troubles. One should always think positively about things; only then will one feel a sudden clarity in the heart, and see the scene of willows and flowers, and another village just around the corner. Learn to be accommodating, and learn to turn swords into jade. Only in this way can you be content and happy, and not often get angry or waste energy over trivial matters.

45. 14没有爱的倾注，我如涸辙之鲋。这样的生活确实很难让我安之若素。看著朋友们已为人父，小生活过的美满和睦，我又何尝不是深深的羡慕，并渴望著感情上的脱贫致富？

45. Without the pouring of love, I am like a dried-up fish in a dried-up river. Such a life indeed makes it hard for me to take it all in stride. Watching my friends become fathers, leading their little lives in happiness and harmony, how could I not feel deeply envious, and yearn for an emotional rise from poverty?

54. Parents often remind us that before doing things, we should first learn to be a good person. Ability is indeed very important, but character is more important than ability. Character is the foundation of a person, the cornerstone, and all the honors obtained are built on the foundation of character. If the character is not up to standard and the foundation is not well laid, no matter how great the achievements obtained later, there will be a day when everything collapses. Good character can make up for the shortcomings of wisdom, but talent can never make up for the defects in character. To be a person, one should have good character, treat others with virtue first, and do things with sincerity first.

58. 人生的经验有直接的和间接的，间接的经验主要从书本中得来。我们不可能每事亲为，所以要重视从书中得到的经验。

64. It is important for adults to learn how to be human, which is about one's character and bottom line, and it serves as the foundation for all potential collaborations in the future. There should be give and take; if you owe someone a favor, don't pretend to be naive, and when it's time to repay, do so. People who always take advantage of others and never give back will eventually disrupt the balance of long-term relationships. Once others see through their tricks, they will all want to leave. Human relationships should be nurtured with a steady flow, like watering a plant daily, saving actively, and maintaining a grateful heart.
