在纷扰的世界中，我们渴望一片宁静的天地。保持距离，不沾染尘埃，拒绝期许，追求独立的生活，在这片自留地中，让心灵得以自由呼吸。

In the turbulent world, we yearn for a tranquil realm. Maintaining distance, avoiding沾染 dust, rejecting expectations, pursuing an independent life, in this piece of reserved land, let the soul breathe freely.

1. “聪明的人，从来不和任何人走的太近，近则不恭，远则生怨，智商高的人，没有朋友；情商高的人，没有敌人。”

1. "Intelligent people never get too close to anyone. Too close is impolite, and too distant breeds resentment. People with high IQs have no friends; people with high EQs have no enemies."

2. 穷人在十字街头耍十把钢钩，够不着亲人的骨肉，富人在深山老林舞刀枪棍棒，打不散无义的宾朋。

2. Poor people wield ten steel hooks at the crossroads, unable to reach their beloved kin; the rich swing swords, spears, and clubs in the deep mountains and dense forests, yet cannot disperse the ungrateful guests.

3. 不要对任何关系抱有期待，风雨人生，要我们一个人走，春夏秋冬，要我们一个人去面对。

3. Do not hold any expectations for any relationship, for life is full of ups and downs, and it requires us to walk alone, facing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter by ourselves.

4. 父母爱不爱你不重要，伴侣爱不爱你不重要，子女爱不爱你不重要，亲戚朋友爱不爱你不重要。唯一重要的一件事情，就是自己必须要爱自己。

4. It doesn't matter whether your parents love you, whether your partner loves you, whether your children love you, or whether your relatives and friends love you. The only thing that matters is that you must love yourself.

5. 我们曾经多么想做出一番事业，或者非常执着于某一件什么事情，不愿意轻言放弃，不想半途而废，千难万难也要熬住，风云变幻也要扛住，掉皮掉肉也要挺住。而最后呢，我们感到非常痛苦，过得非常普通，仍然是一个一事无成的平凡之人。

5. How much we wanted to make a name for ourselves or were so obsessed with a particular thing that we wouldn't easily give up, didn't want to give in halfway, and were determined to endure through all the hardships, no matter how the circumstances changed, and would withstand any pain or suffering. Yet, in the end, we felt incredibly bitter and lived a very ordinary life, still just an average person with nothing to show for our efforts.

6. 不要走近任何人，如果你太普通了，就应该销声匿迹，离群索居，默默积攒自己的能力，或者在没人打扰的状态下过清静的日子。如果你不普通，也就不需要在任何人那里浪费自己的时间和精力。

6. Do not approach anyone. If you are too ordinary, you should fade into obscurity, isolate yourself from the crowd, silently accumulate your own abilities, or live a tranquil life without any disturbances. If you are not ordinary, there is no need to waste your time and energy on anyone else.

7. 人与人之间的关系就是利益关系。当你强大了，有钱了，有势了，别人都愿意靠近你，因为可以沾你的光，借你的势，汲取你的能量。当你落魄了，贫穷了，有病了，别人都想着远离你，因为你可能要借他们的钱，花他们的力气，消耗他们的能量。

7. The relationship between people is essentially one of interests. When you are strong, wealthy, and powerful, others are eager to be close to you, as they can benefit from your influence, borrow your strength, and absorb your energy. Conversely, when you are down on your luck, poor, or sick, people tend to keep their distance, as they may have to lend you money, exert their efforts for you, or deplete their energy.

8. 我们曾如此期待别人的认可和帮助，后来才发现，人生的本质就是百年孤独，世界是自己的，和其他人毫无关系。

8. We had long awaited others' recognition and help, only to find out later that the essence of life is a century of solitude, and the world belongs to oneself, having nothing to do with others.

9. 人世间并不像书本上歌颂那样美好，有些父母并不爱孩子，有些孩子并不孝顺父母，有些夫妻并不恩爱，有些兄弟姐妹形同路人。也不是说有什么矛盾或者利益纠葛，有些人因为天缘凑巧而结合在一起，但不是因为善缘，而是因为孽缘。

9. The world is not as beautiful as it is praised in books. Some parents do not love their children, some children are not filial to their parents, some couples do not have loving feelings for each other, and some siblings are as strangers to each other. It's not that there are any conflicts or entanglements of interests; some people come together by mere chance of fate, but not because of good causes, but because of bad karma.

10. 每个人都为自己而活，不要对任何人抱有任何不切实际的期待。生命是一条孤独的河流，只有自己才是人生的摆渡人。如果我们总想着靠别人来渡自己，一定无法逾越人生这一条长河，可能还会溺毙其中。

10. Each person lives for themselves, and do not have any unrealistic expectations of anyone else. Life is a solitary river, and only oneself can be the渡man (or woman) in life. If we always think of depending on others to cross ourselves, we will certainly not be able to cross this long river of life, and might even drown in it.

11. 李银河说：“最舒服的日子就是啥都不干，啥也不想。反正这个世界上的事，做了最后也没啥意义，都会消失不见。重要的是怎么过自己的日子，怎么花自己的时间。至于是干点啥还是啥都不干，其实差别不大。”

11. Li Xuelin said, "The most comfortable days are the ones when you do nothing and think of nothing. After all, in this world, no matter what you do, it doesn't really matter because it all eventually fades away. What's important is how to live your own days and how to spend your own time. Whether you do something or do nothing, the difference is actually not that big."

12. 还记得我们小时候都背过一段话，出自奥斯特洛夫斯基《钢铁是怎样炼成的》：人的一生应该这样度过，当你回首往事的时候，不因为虚度年华而悔恨，不因为碌碌无为而羞愧，可以勇敢的对自己说，这一世人生，我值了！

12. Do you remember the passage we all recited when we were kids, from "How the Steel Was Tempered" by Alexei Ostrovsky: "One should spend one's life in such a way that, when one looks back, one does not regret wasted years, does not feel ashamed of having lived in vain, but can bravely say to oneself, this life, it was worth it!"

13. 放下心中的执念，潇潇洒洒地活着，以自己喜欢的方式度过一生。

13. Let go of the attachments in your heart, live carefree, and spend your life in the way you like.

14. 非常通透的一段话：

14. A very transparent statement:

15. 寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟。哀吾生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。我们只是宇宙之间的一粒尘埃，很多事情干与不干，多干与少干，坚持到底或者半途而废，都没有什么意义。

15. Cast a mayfly into the heavens and the boundless ocean, but it is only a grain of sand among the vastness. I mourn the brevity of my life, envying the boundless flow of the Yangtze River. We are but a speck of dust in the universe, and whether to participate or not, to do a lot or a little, to persevere to the end or to give up halfway, all hold no real significance.

16. 当你走近一个人，就走近了消耗；当你纠缠一件事，就浪费了能量；当你执着于任何一段关系，就会自寻烦恼，自取其辱。

16. When you approach someone, you approach consumption; when you entangle yourself in a matter, you waste energy; when you become obsessed with any relationship, you seek trouble and bring dishonor upon yourself.
