Is there anyone who hasn't suffered for the secret love? We alwaysthink that love is very heavy, heavy and could be the heaviest thing inthe world.

I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am with you. 我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起的感觉. The more you wanna know whether you have forgotten something, the better you remember; I once heard that, the only thing you can do when you no longer have something is not to forget. 你越想知道自己是不是忘记的时候，你反而记得越清楚，我曾经听人说过，当你不能再拥有的时候，唯一可以做的就是令自己不要忘记。

Love you, think of you, love you secretly, eagerly love you, wait, feel disappointed, try hard, lose, and feel sad, go apart, and recall.All of these are for sake of you. And I will never regret for it. 钟情，相思，暗恋，渴慕，等待，失望，试探，患得患失，痛不欲生，天涯永隔，追忆似水流年……种种这些，都曾因你而经历，也就誓不言悔。 To love someone in secret is like a seed in bottle waiting for growing up, though not sure whether the future will be more beautiful, still waiting it earnestly and eagerly. 暗恋一个人的心情，就像是瓶中等待发芽的种子，永远不能确定未来是否是美丽的，但却真心而倔强的等待着。

Loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone means you just have no one beside you but loneliness means that you cannot talk with others and share them with your feelings. And the true loneliness is that you even forget how it feels when you love someone. 寂寞确实跟孤单不一样，孤单只表示身边没有别人，但寂寞是一种你无法将感受跟别人沟通或分享的心理状态。而真正的寂寞应该是连自己都忘了喜欢一个人的感觉。

段：Four Years of College: Why？我为什么要上四年大学Before entering college, I worked for a year as a security guard, a cashier in a liquor store, an orderly at New England Deaconess Hospital, and an art assistant at a Barnes and Noble Bookstore.1上大学前我工作了一年，当过警卫、酒店收款员，在新英格兰狄康纳斯医院当过卫生员，在伯恩斯和诺布尔书店当过艺术装璜工。As a guard I worked nights, slept days, and soon felt I was sleeping my life away. At the liquor store I often had to serve unruly customers who were always right,2 and at the Deaconess I got some of the worst jobs, with no real chance of advancement.？ 在伯恩斯和诺布尔书店当过艺术装璜工。

当警卫时我晚上工作白天睡觉。没多久我就感到是在把生命睡掉。

在酒店干活时我常常不得不侍候这样一些顾客，他们态度蛮横却从来都是“常有理”。在狄康纳斯医院里我有时候干最次的活，简直看不到有出头的机会。

At Barnes and Noble I was happiest, especially making signs and displays for the store, but I was eventually displaced by a former worker with a degree in art.3在巴恩斯和诺布尔书店那段时间是我一生中最愉快的，特别是为店里画广告和布置展品时更是如此，但是最终我还是被人抢去了饭碗，那人过去是店里的职工，只是现在得了艺术学位。This was enough for me, and I didn't want it to happen again. For this reason and several others, I signed up for four years of college.这一下可真够我受的，我不希望这种事情再发生。

由于这个原因，再加上其它一些因素，我报了名准备读四年大学。I also knew that I would finally be making my parents happy. Both college graduates,4 they wanted me to be one also. They told me for years about the advantages of a college degree over a high school diploma.我也知道我最终会使父母感到高兴的。

他们俩都大学毕业，希望我也和他们一样。多年来他们一直对我讲大学学位如何胜过中学文凭。

I can still hear my mother saying, “ go to college and get a degree. You need a degree now, and besides, you'll be proud of yourself.” I can still hear myself, though, saying that I wanted to see if I could make it5 on my own — without college.我耳边仿佛还响着母亲的话音：“上大学得个学位吧，你需要个学位，那样你自己会感到自豪。”可我也还记得自己说过的话，我说我想试试不上大学是否也能成功。

They were persistent but not demanding,6 and allowed me my year of discovery, if I wanted it. Now I know they were right and can see that they are relieved that I decided on more school.7父母虽然老是劝我，但并不强求，如果我真想试试，他们允许我去试一年，看看结果如何。现在我明白他们的话是对的，可以想象我继续深造的决定会使他们心里一块石头落地。

Another important reason for returning was my desire to learn 。
