　　"You never foil until you stop trying," he always told himself," Imust make it in life!"

　　“如果你失败了，那是因为你停止努力了，”他常常告诫自己。“我一定要事业有成!”

　　On a rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched.

　　Therefore she had chosen to leave him.

　　所以，她选择离开他。

　　She asked her parents to leave his paper cranes by her side, if one day the destiny brings him here, he could take some back home.

　　她让父母把他的千纸鹤放在她的身旁，如果有一天命运指引他再来看她的时候，他可以带一些纸鹤回去。

　　小伙子泪如雨下……最痛苦的事情莫过于你就坐在他们身旁，可你知道你再也无法拥有他们，再也不能相见了。

　　Love is an art which involves deep emotion. It is a pure and lofty desire in one's innermost heart. Real love means not only a pleasure, but also loyalty and obligation. To love is to give and sacrifice. One who can not create happiness, even make sacrifice for his beloved, cannot be counted as a true lover.

　　To be loved you have to love. True lovers are willing to sacrifice themselves for each others sake. True love needs no expression in words. One glance is enough to make each other understand. A handshake, a gentle touch inspired by respect and admiration, will leave you intoxicated and remain in your memory. Even when you are old you will recall and cherish it with deep emotion.

　　Real love is unforgettable. With the development of science and technology, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle. As is known to all, everyone is born with the right to love and also the right to refuse to return love. Human love exists with human beings. Wherever there are people, there is love.

　　Let us draw courage, confidence and happiness from love.

　　爱情是一门艺术，它包含了深厚的感情。这是一个纯洁而崇高的愿望，在一个人的内心深处(转载 于:wWw.DyHzdl.cn : 爱情英文短文)。真正的爱不仅意味着快乐，而且意味着忠诚和义务。爱是奉献与牺牲。一个人不能创造幸福，甚至为自己心爱的人做出牺牲，也算不上真正的爱人。 要被爱，你必须爱。真正的爱人愿意为彼此牺牲自己。真爱不需要表达。一眼就足以使对方明白。一次握手，一个温柔的抚摸，受到尊敬和钦佩，会让你陶醉在你的记忆中。即使你是老了，你也会记得，并珍惜它与深的感情。 真正的爱情是难忘的。随着科学技术的发展，爱情变得更加高贵、丰富、精细和微妙。众所周知，每个人都有爱的权利，也有拒绝爱的权利。人类的爱与人类存在。哪里有人，哪里就有爱。 让我们从爱中汲取勇气、信心和快乐。
