7、When you're single, and your friends start to get married, everywedding invitation presents a strange moment of self-evaluation:"Will you be bringing a guest, or will you be attending alone?"What it's really asking is, "where do you see yourself in threemonths?"Sitting next to your girlfriend, or hitting on abridesmaid?"
你还单身的时候,你周围的朋友开始步入婚姻的殿堂。每个婚礼邀请贴都会引发让人心酸的自我估价:您是独自赴约还是偕伴前来?而它实际在问的是:你估计你未来三个月会有什么进展?是坐在女朋友的边上,还是准备泡上一个伴娘?

孩子们,生命中有许多浪漫无比的时刻,它们使生命变得有价值和丰富。但却有个问题:当这些幸福的时刻逝去,潜在这背后的是一个残酷的、不修边幅的私生子——现实。
12、I'm saying, I'm here, you'rehere, this is a big romantic wedding-- why don't we just dance andhave a great time, and then when it's over, never see each otheragain. No e-mails, no phone numbers, not even names. Tonight wewill make a memory that will never be tarnished. And then... whenwe're old and gray, we'll look back on this night and it'll beperfect.
我的意思是,我在这儿,你也在这儿,在我们身后的就是一场浪漫的婚礼。为什么我们不跳支舞,好好的享受这美好的时光。当这一切都结束的时候,不再跟对方联系。不留邮件,不留电话号码,甚至不告诉对方我们的名字。今晚,我们就来制造一个永不磨灭的回忆。然后。。。当我们老去,再回顾这个夜晚,我们都不觉遗憾
13、Until our dying days,we'llremember everything about the night,it's perfect.Maybe we both needthat.I mean,so many things go wrong in life,but this is the onething that never will.It will always,always bepure,unadulterated,awesome.

如果你知道你明天就要失去一条腿,那你是应该悲痛欲绝坐在沙发上,还是应该欢呼雀跃地趁着自己还有能力时来几个回旋踢?

我不想被束缚。我想在法国,西班牙,意大利生活,单纯地享受生活并把它们画下来记录。即使要在一个破旧的咖啡馆当个端盘子的侍应生5年我也不介意。我要当一名画家,但如果有个男友整天缠在我身边,我将无法完成任何一件事。

19、I know it's a mistake.But there are centain things in life whereyou know it's a mistake,but you don't really know it's amistake,because the only way to really is a mistake is to make themistake,and look backe and say,"yep,its'a mistake".
So really,the bigger mistake would be not to make themistake.Because you get your whole life not really knowing ifsomething is a mistake or not.And damn it,I've made nomistakes!
我知道这是个错误。但在生活中有些事情你明知道是错的,但你没有真正去犯错误过就不知道这是个错误,因为只有去犯了错误才知道这是个错误,并且回望说道:对,这就是个错误!
所以,比错误更大的错误就是没有犯过错。因为你整个人生都不会知道一些事情是错误与否。而该死的,我从没犯过错误!
20、And that's how Robin and I ended up together.Turns out all I hadto do was make it rain.And I rode home the next morning,the citylooked the same,the people looked the same,it all looked thesame.But it wasn't.In just one night,everything had changed.
最后我和robin就这样走在了一起,原来我需要做的就是让天下雨。翌日清晨,在我回家的路上,整个城市看起来和以前一样,人们一样,所有事情都一样。但事实并非如此。只是一晚,却所有事情都改变了。

我在这个暑假学到了一点,就是刚开始的和刚结束的恋情在各自的头30天是惊人的相似。首先,你大部分时间都花在了床上。其次,你的朋友们无法忍受你的唠叨。
22、It took him 67days and onereally disgusting batch of pancakes,but Marshal had really comeback from the dead.Because while basketball,strippers and gun canhelp,the only thing can really heal a broken heart is time.
Marshall用了整整67天和一堆难吃得要死的馅饼才从失恋的废墟中爬了出来。虽然篮球,脱衣女郎和手枪也许也起了一定作用,但真正能治愈一颗破碎的心的灵丹妙药,就是时间。
23、So right there,in the exactsame place that six months eariler I had walked up and foundMarhshall alone,crying over his breakup with Lily,I found himagain.Only this time he wasn't alone,and he was happy.So we went tothe bar to celebrate,and it was great.I was with Robin,Marshall andLily were back together,and Barney had a cool new name.
就这样,在同一个地方,六个月前我来到这里看到marshall一个人独自为与lily的分开而哭泣,现在我又看到了他,而今天他不再独自一人,并且很幸福。因此我们到了酒吧去庆祝,真是棒极了。我和robin在一起,marshall和lily重新走在一起,而barney有了一个很酷的新名字。
24、What you can learn fromrelationships is you're never done getting to know someone.Everyonehas secrets.Some are nice.Some aren't so nice.And so are justwierd.
在恋爱过程中,我们学会一个道理:你永远不能完全了解一个人。每个人都有秘密。有些是好的,有些就不怎么好了,还有一些非常奇怪。

这段时间,我一直在苦思冥想试着找出lily和Marshall在一起的完美时刻。但我发觉他们的完美时刻不是从他们恋爱的十年里大海捞针地寻找,而是两天前的晚上。
