A painting is more than the sum of its parts. A cow by itself is just a cow. A meadow by itself is
just grass, flowers. And the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light. But you put
them all together and it can be magic.
一幅画不是众多物件简单拼凑而成的ã€?/p>
牛只是一头牛ï¼?/p>
草地也只有青草和鲜花ï¼?/p>
而穿过树æž?/p>
的阳光也仅仅只是一束光,但如果将它们放到一起,就会产生魔一般的魅力ã€?/p>
The higher I got, the more amazed I was by the view.
我爬得越高,眼前的风景便愈发迷人ã€?/p>
Some days the sunsets would be purple and pink. And some days they were a blazing
orange setting fire to the clouds on the horizon. It was during one of those sunsets that my
father's idea of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts moved from my head to my
heart.
有时落日泛起紫红的余晖,
有时散发出橘红色的火光燃起天边的晚霞ã€?/p>
在这绚烂的日落景è±?/p>
中,我慢慢领悟了父亲所说的整体胜于局部总和的道理ã€?/p>
Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.
有时起初的隐忍可以避免一路的疼痛ã€?/p>
Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once in a while you
find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.
有些人沦为平庸浅薄,金玉其外,而败絮其中。可不经意间ï¼?/p>
有一天你会遇到一个彩虹般ç»?/p>
丽的人,从此以后,其他人就不过是匆匆浮云ã€?/p>

The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped. It was those eyes, something in those dazzling
eyes.

罗斯基的第一天,我心动了。他的双眸有种魔力让我如痴如醉ã€?/p>
The
next
thing
I
know,
he's
holding
my
hand
and
looking
right
into
my
eyes.
My
heart
stopped. Was this it? Would this be my first kiss?
接下来,我所知道的就是,他紧紧握住我的手,与我深情对视。我的心跳停止了。就要来äº?/p>
吗?我的初吻就要来了吗?
Sherry
Stalls
was
nothing
but
a
whiny,
gossipy,
backstabbing
flirt.
All
hair
and
no
substance. And there she was holding hands with Bryce. My Bryce. The one who was walking
around with my first kiss.

斯道尔斯是个絮絮叨叨、阴险毒辣的长舌妇,头发长见识短。可她竟然牵起了布莱æ–?/p>
的手。那可是我的布莱斯!带着我的初吻到处招摇的布莱斯ï¼?/p>
- And she's been stalking me since the second grade.
- Well, a girl like that doesn't live next door to everyone.
