我终于了解－

我与最好的朋友

可以做任何事，

或不做任何事，

而一样享受了最棒的时光。

I've learned -

that my best friend and I can do anything

or nothing and have the best time.

　

　

     　      

我终于了解－

有时你以为会在你失意时踹你一脚的人，

其实却正是那个将帮助你重新站起来的人。

I've learned -

that sometimes the people you expect

to kick you when you're down

will be the ones to help you get back up.

　

　

     　      

我终于了解－

有时候我愤怒，

因我有权利愤怒。

但这并不表示

我有权利残忍。

I've learned -

that sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me

the right to be cruel.

　

     　      

我终于了解－

真实的友谊会持续增长，

即或远隔千里。

真实的爱亦然。

I've learned -

that true friendship continues to grow,

even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love.

　

     　      

我终于了解－

有些人不照着你所期望的方式来爱你，

并不表示他们没有尽他们的一切来爱你。

I've learned -

that just because someone doesn't love you

the way you want them to doesn't mean

they don't love you with all they have.

　

　

     　      

我终于了解－

所谓成熟，比较和你拥有何种经历，

以及你从其中学到何事有关，

而比较和你究竟欢度了多少个生日无关。

I've learned -

that maturity has more to do with

what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

and less to do with how many

birthdays you've celebrated.

　

     　      

我终于了解－

你绝不可以对一个孩子说，

他的梦想是不可能的，或是奇怪的。

再没有什么比此更羞辱人的。

而且，如果他们相信了你，

更将是何等的悲剧呢！

I've learned -

that you should never tell a child

their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.

Few things are more humiliating, and

what a tragedy it would be

if they believed it.

　

     　      

我终于了解－

你的家人不会永远帮着你。

也许看来可笑，但那些与你无关的人

却会关怀你，爱你，教你重新信任人。

家庭不是一种肉身的关系。

I've learned -

that your family won't always

be there for you. It may seem funny,

but people you aren't related to

can take care of you and love you

and teach you to trust people again.

Families aren't biological.



     　      

我终于了解－

不论一个朋友多好，

总有一些时候他还是会伤到你，

而你总得为此原谅他。

I've learned -

that no matter how good a friend is,

they're going to hurt you

every once in a while

and you must forgive them for that.

　

     　      

我终于了解－

被人原谅不一定足够，

有时你也得学习原谅自己。

I've learned -

that it isn't always enough

to be forgiven by others.

Sometimes you have to learn

to forgive yourself.
