A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
浪漫
Romance
Two did not become one, but rather two came together—each one strong, healthy, and resilient, making the whole steadfast and true. They didn’t lose themselves in each other, but found themselves in each other instead.
两个没有成为一个，而是两个走到了一起——每个人都强壮、健康、有韧性，使整个世界变得坚定和真实。他们没有在对方身上迷失自我，反而发现自己在对方身上。
The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.
在任何爱情故事中，第一次接吻的决定是最重要的。它改变了两个人的关系，甚至比最终的投降还要强烈;因为这个吻已经包含了投降。
To pass to the deluge, and beyond it, and to come to close quarters with our proper division, the origin of Romance itself is a very debatable subject, or rather it is a subject which the wiser mind will hardly care to debate much.
让我们越过洪水，越过它，以我们适当的划分来接近它，浪漫的起源本身是一个非常有争议的话题，或者更确切地说，它是一个明智的头脑几乎不愿意过多争论的话题。
A romance novel focuses exclusively on two people falling in love. It can't be about a woman caring for her aging mother or something like that. It can have that element, but it has to be primarily about the male-female relationship.
一部爱情小说专门讲述两个人相爱的故事。不可能是一个女人照顾她年迈的母亲之类的。它可以有那样的元素，但它必须主要是关于男女关系。
For me, romance isn't an over-the-top act. It's someone offering to help and to support me. Or if that person thinks I'm making the wrong decision, he'll tell me. I want him to be honest, because being that honest takes a lot of guts.
对我来说，浪漫不是夸张的行为。这是一个愿意帮助和支持我的人。或者如果那个人认为我做了错误的决定，他会告诉我。我希望他诚实，因为诚实需要很大的勇气。
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
爱情就像一场燃烧的友谊。刚开始的时候有一团火焰，非常漂亮，常常又热又猛，但仍然只有光和闪烁。爱越老，我们的心就越成熟，我们的爱就像煤炭一样，燃烧得越深，越难熄灭。
When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.
当你恋爱时，你永远不知道你的快乐是来自于你所爱的人的品质，还是来自于她的品质;她周围的光，或像光环一样，是从你而来，或从她而来，或从你们火花的相遇而来。
I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love - and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
我是一个女权主义者，但我认为对于我们这一代人来说，浪漫已经被剥夺了一些。我认为人们在小说中所接触到的是一种压倒一切的、包容一切的爱——它比任何其他东西都更重要、更特别。
I know that some endeavor to throw the mantle of romance over the subject and treat woman like some ideal existence, not liable to the ills of life. Let those deal in fancy who have nothing better to deal in; we have to do with sober, sad realities, with stubborn facts.
我知道，有些人竭力把浪漫的外衣披在这个主题上，把女人当作一种理想的存在，不受生活弊病的影响。让那些没有更好的事情可做的人去幻想吧;我们必须面对清醒、悲哀的现实和顽固的事实。
The two stand in the fast-thinning throng of victims, but they speak as if they were alone. Eye to eye, voice to voice, hand to hand, heart to heart, these two children of the Universal Mother, else so wide apart and differing, have come together on the dark highway, to repair home together, and to rest in her bosom.
这两个人站在迅速减少的受害者人群中，但他们说话的样子就像只有他们两个人一样。眼睛对着眼睛，声音对着声音，手对着手，心对着心，这两个来自宇宙母亲的孩子，否则就会天各一方，天各一方，在黑暗的公路上走到一起，一起修复家园，一起安息在她的怀中。

The word 'romance,' according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.

Men's eyes were made to look, let them gaze, I will budge for no man's pleasure.
人的眼睛生来就是要看的，让他们看吧，我不会为任何人的快乐而移动。
Romance is very pretty in novels, but the romance of a life is always a melancholy matter. They are most happy who have no story to tell.
浪漫在小说中是很美好的，但生活中的浪漫总是一件令人忧郁的事情。没有故事可讲的人是最幸福的。
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
