(单词翻译:单击)


It's a dangerous world. So we all look for protection.And whether we find it in the arms of our mother,or at the end of a jagged blade, or in the kiss of our sweetheart, or at the end of a barrel. We do what we have to to feel safe. Because we know somewhere in the world there are those who would do us harm.

这个世界危机四伏,所以我们都会寻求保护。不管是妈妈那温暖的臂弯,还是一把锯齿刀片,不管是心爱妻子的一个轻吻,还是一把手枪。为了安全感,我们不得不有所行动。因为我们知道世界上的某个地方,有想伤害我们的人。


  

Yes, it can happen so quickly. Life as we know it can change in the blink of an eye.Unlikely friendships can blossom. Important careers can be tossed aside. A long-lost hope can be rekindled.Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there are no changes left.
    
是的,世事瞬息万变。转眼之间,面目全非。不可能的友谊可以开花结果,重要的事业可以放置一边,灰飞烟灭的希望可以重新点燃。不论如何,我们仍然要感激生活的改变,因为不久末日来临,就不在有任何改变了。

  
Recapturing the past is a tricky business. While most memories are simply souvenirs of a happier time, others can be quite deadly.
    
回顾过去不是件容易事,其中大部分是关于快乐时光的记忆,也有的可能是致命的。

  
In every housewife's closet, there's an article of clothing that tells you more about its owner than she would want you to know. It might be a T-shirt that she despises but wears without complaint. Perhaps it's some lingerie, she knows isn't hers, but refuses to discuss... Or a dress she once loved, that she can no longer bear to look at this. You can learn a lot about women from what they choose to wear. You can learn even more by what they choose to take off, and who they take it off for.
    
每个主妇的衣橱里,满满的都是关于着装的文章,记载着主人很多不为人知的细节。也许是一件T恤,她很不喜欢,却毫无怨言的穿上;也许是一件内衣,她明知不是自己的,却拒绝提起;也许是一件她曾经非常喜欢的长裙,可如今却再也不想看见。是的,女人决定穿什么,会让你知晓很多,但是如果知道她愿意褪去什么,为谁褪去,你会更加了解她的。

  
It's so easy to spot the lonely ones.They're the people who tell stories to their plants, and whisper secrets to their pets, and have arguments with their TV, and the loneliest of all are the ones who talk to people who are no longer there.
    
孤单的身影总是随处可见。他们向自己的盆栽倾诉心事,向自己的宠物分享秘密,和自己的电视机争吵不休,但最孤单的则是这样一类人,他们向亡者倾诉。


Passion. It's a force so potent we still remember it long after it's faded away. A drive so alluring it can push us to the arms of unexpected lovers. A sensation so overwhelming it can knock down walls we built to protect our hearts. A feeling so intense it resurfaces even though we try so hard to keep it buried. Yes, of all emotions, passion is the one that gives us a reason to live and an excuse to commit all sorts of crimes.
    
激情,就算它在逝去很久以后,仍是让人如此难以忘记。它是如此强烈的诱惑,把我们推到意想不到的爱人怀中;它是无法抗拒的感情,击垮了我们修筑起来的保护心灵的高墙;它是那尽管我们如此努力的埋藏,却仍浮出水面的炙热情感。是的,在所有的情绪中,激情给了我们生活下去的理由,却也给我们了犯下各种罪刑的借口。
