我试图享受生活中美好的东西, 却发现美好的东西往往是简单的;
      我向往用我的理性和感性去爱人, 却发现感性和理性往往不能共存;
      我渴望美,却发现美常常寄存在最让人意想不到的地方;
      我想要用音乐拭去我的忧愁,却发现只有悲伤的旋律最能打动我的心;
      我想忘却我的过去, 因为过去把我监禁在它的牢笼里, 却知道怀旧是我不可避免的习惯.

 

      I try to enjoy the finer things in life,

      and often find that the finer things are also the simpler;

 

      I long to love with my head and my heart,

      but only to discover that the two rarely speak to each other;

 

      I yearn for the beautiful,

      and frequently see beauty reside in the most unexpected;

 

      I am desperate to ease my sadness with music,

      but only to realize that melancholic melodies speak to my heart the most;

 

      I want to forget the past, for it confines me to its cellar,

      yet I know that reminiscence is an inevitable habit of mine.
