I Have Learned.....

(Part II)

我終於了解－

不論你的心破碎到什麼程度，

世界也不會因你的悲傷而停止運轉。

I've learned -

that no matter how bad

your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

我終於了解－

儘管我們的背景和環境會影響我們的本質，

但我們都須為我們爾後的改變負責。

I've learned -

that our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

but we are responsible for who we become.

我終於了解－

有時當我的朋友間起了衝突，

儘管我不情願，

我還是被迫需選擇站在其中一方。

I've learned -

that sometimes when my friends fight,

I'm forced to choose sides

even when I don't want to.

我終於了解－

兩個人爭吵，並不表示他們不愛對方。

兩個人不爭吵，也不表示他們愛對方。

I've learned -

that just because two people argue,

it doesn't mean they don't love each other

And just because they don't argue,

it doesn't mean they do.

我終於了解－

有時你必須把焦點放在個人，

而非他們的行為上。

I've learned -

that sometimes you have to put

the individual ahead of their actions.

我終於了解－

我們並不需要改換朋友－

如果我們明白朋友也會改變的話。

I've learned -

that we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

我終於了解－

你不應那麼熱切地去發掘一個秘密，

因它可能會永遠改變你的一生。

I've learned -

that you shouldn't be so

eager to find out a secret.

It could change your life forever.

我終於了解－

兩個人可以看著同一件事，

卻見到完全不同的東西。

I've learned -

that two people can look

at the exact same thing

and see something totally different.

我終於了解－

無論你如何嘗試保護你的孩子，

他們終究還是會受傷，

而你也會在此過程中受傷。

I've learned -

that no matter how you try to protect

your children, they will eventually get hurt

and you will hurt in the process.

我終於了解－

墜入情網和持續相愛，

都有許多途徑。

I've learned -

that there are many ways of falling

and staying in love.
