@ 30510 Seeking Comfort
A: 麗麗，要見你一面真難啊！
L`ıli, ya`o jia`n nˇı y¯ı mia`n zhe¯ n na´n a¯ !
Lili, it’s so hard to get together with you!
B: 算了吧。你才是大忙人呢！ 每天不是上電視就是上報紙，像我們這樣的平凡人哪敢主動聯繫你啊。

That’s enough. It’s you who is the busy one! Every day if you’re not on the TV then you’re in the newspaper. An or- dinary person like me–how could I dare to take the initiative to get in touch with you.
A: 你跟別人可不一樣。我再忙，都要擠出時間來見你。對了，上次我們在咖啡館碰見之後，我給你發短信，你怎麼都不回啊？我還以為你不想見我呢。

It’s different with you than with other people. If I were even busier, I still would squeeze in the time to come and see you. Oh, last time after we met in the coffee shop I sent you a text message, how come you never responded?
B: 沒有。不過，前段時間我心情不太好。

No, not at all. But in the last little while my mood hasn’t been that great.
A: 怎麼了？這可不像你。在我們眼裡你永遠都是開心果，好像每天都有笑不完的事。

What’s wrong? That’s not like you. In our eyes, you are always a ”pistachio,” as if every day you have so much to laugh about.
B: 是嗎？可我現在怎麼也笑不出來。

A: 你能這麼想就對了。是他不懂得珍惜你。麗麗， 你知道你有多好嗎？我想能照顧你的男人肯定是這世界上最幸福的男人。

It’s good that you can think of it that way. He’s the one that doesn’t understand how to cherish you. Lili, do you know how good you are? I think the man that gets to take care of you is definitely the luckiest man in the world.
B: 我有那麼好？不會是騙我的吧？不過我還是謝謝
你的安慰。好了，我現在沒事了。真的。

Am I that good? Could it be that you are fooling me? But I still thank you for your consolation. All right, I’m fine now. Really.
A: 你沒事我就放心了。其實我以前一直覺得自己很聰明，現在才發現，我是世上最笨的人，因為我失去了你。不過現在好了，老天叉給了我彌補的機會，我叉可以在你身邊陪你了。而且你放心， 我永遠都在。

If you are OK then I can set my mind at rest. Actually, before I always thought that I was so smart. Only now do I realize that I am the stupidest person in the world, because I’ve lost you. But now it’s OK–heaven has given me another chance to make it up to you, I can again be by your side to accompany you. And don’t worry, I will always be here.
B: 你真的會嗎？

A: 相信我，這麼多年了，我心裡一直只有你一個。
