My little cousin calls me again and makes complaints that her boyfriend is so careless, inconsiderate, and not good enough for her. They two often squabble over trifles and she says she feels tired. But, as he is the one she loves, she doesn’t want to let him go.
小表妹又打来电话向我抱怨，男朋友对她不够好，不细心不体贴，两个人常常因为鸡毛蒜皮的小事吵起来。她说自己觉得累了，又不想放手，因为那是她喜欢的人。
我给不出她什么好的建议，只能隔靴搔痒的安慰几句。爱情这东西，虽说有时是当局者迷，旁观者清，可不是自己下的决心，总有后悔的一天。
She reminds me of my aging grandparents who have been married and lived together with a few bumps for several decades. They also had disputes and disagreements. However, when they come to old age, they lead a much sweeter life. Sometimes, unexpectedly, they show their mutual affection when we around them.
她的事让我想起了年迈的祖父母，两位老人在一起磕磕绊绊几十年，不是没有过争吵与分歧，然而到了暮年却越过越甜蜜，有时候在他们身边，猝不及防的就被喂了一把狗粮。
其实我不明白，为什么满身书香气质温雅的祖母会和祖父这样的糙汉子在一起生活几十年。祖母出身书香门第，可祖父却连学堂都没上过几天；祖母爱好文雅，闲时侍弄花草，写字画画，祖父却不耐烦这些，说“净是无用功”。
Whereas, the two distinctly different persons have gone through wind and rain during their whole lives with accompanying each other mutually.
然而就是这样两个截然不同的人，相依相伴走过了一生风雨。
矫情点说，就是因为爱情吧。
02
The one who could put up with your temper is the one who loves you, and the one who could hold your temper is the one who you love. This sentence suits the two old men down to the ground. Even though grandpa takes no notice of grandma’s calligraphy and painting, every time he always buys pens, paper and books for her after he takes a salary. And grandpa loves wine, grandma thinks of methods to make wine. Bouquet of wine diffuses the house in all seasons.
受得了你脾气的是爱你的人，治的了你脾气的是你爱的人——这话放在两位老人身上再合适不过。祖父虽然对祖母的书画不屑一顾，每每领了薪水却又会为妻子买回纸笔书籍；祖父爱酒，祖母便琢磨了酿酒的法子，家里一年四季酒香弥漫。
Sharing secrets and expressing love without gorgeous words and various romance, however, their affection is prosaic but extraordinary.
没有华丽的辞藻互诉衷肠，没有花样的浪漫传达爱意，他们的爱情，平淡而不平凡。
Lovers, both two love and tolerate each other. Many people can hold that for a while, it is the novelty. Few people could hold that for a lifetime, that’s love.
两个人互相宠爱，相互包容——许多人能保持一阵子，那是新鲜劲儿，很少人才能坚持一辈子，那才是爱情。
像现在的年轻人，一年坠入爱河三百次，也许上一秒还山盟海誓你侬我侬，下一刻就恨不能不再见老死不相往来，说“我爱你”或者“我们分手吧”就像讨论“今天天气真好”一样自然。
高兴了就在一起，不高兴就分开，人生就这几十年，当然得好好折腾。
Searching and abandoning day after day, probably, we just miss our lives during absurdities and jokes due to we don’t know what true love is.
日复一日的寻找、放弃，不懂爱情为何物的我们，也许就在荒唐和玩笑中错过了一生。
03
Perhaps, in many people’s eyes, love is a pronoun for impulsion and desperation. But, it is not. When speaking highly of vigor and vitality of those splendid legends, we always ignore the tragedies, such as Meng Jiangnv kept crying until the Great Wall started to collapse, Bai Niangzi was crushed under the Leifeng Pagoda, and Niulang and Zhinv could only meet with each other on Double Seventh Day……
可能在很多人眼里，爱情就是“冲动”、是“奋不顾身”的代名词，其实不然。当我们在赞叹那些传世经典的轰轰烈烈的时候，常常忽略了它们自身的悲剧。孟姜女哭倒长城，白娘子被镇压雷锋塔下，牛郎织女只有七夕才能相见……
你羡慕吗？
These stories are really impressive, but we do not look forward to. What we keep pursuing all the time is staying and growing old together forever, right?
这些故事着实感人，却不是我们向往的。长相厮守，白头偕老，才是我们一直追求的，不是吗？
但是我们又犯了另一个错误，那就是在感叹真情难求的同时，又抱着试探的心态与人交往。
不是有那么一句话吗，你拿谎言去验证谎言，得到的永远是谎言。真情唯有拿真心去换。
可能你喜欢的人、你爱的人脾气不好，甚至两人之间有许多世界观的不同，但谁让你爱她呢？如果你不能包容她、理解她，又怎能说是爱她？
It is breaking-in between two persons. Love is like a river and humans are the stones in the river. Gradually, embracing with each other doesn’t hurt for grinding flat by the floating water in river and the other party.
这就是两人之间的磨合。爱情像一条河流，世人就是水中的石，渐渐地被彼此、被河水磨平了棱角，拥抱就不会疼痛。
04
你愿意为了爱情包容她的小牢骚，她因为爱你而能容忍你偶尔的坏脾气，生活里的摩擦没能把两人的距离拉远，反而让两颗心越来越近，这才是好的爱情。
Over time, you could find her dissatisfaction and complaints getting much less. At the same time, your temper is getting better. Conflicts between you two are also decreased, conversely, you are much attached to each other. It is the magic of love.
时间久了，会发现她的不满与抱怨变少了，而你的脾气也越来越好，两人间的摩擦也愈来愈少，感情却更深厚了。这就是爱情的魔力。
它让原本陌生的心，在纷扰的尘世中找到一处栖息之地。而原本孤单的两个人，也因此得到了救赎。
在真正的爱情里，每个人，都在为了与彼此在一起更好的明天而努力，不会担心一拍即散，不会担心因为一些小矛盾便离心离德，因为在一起时，就做好了共同面对风雨的准备。
We are willing to make changes for each other. And do not think about oneself anymore and have someone to care for deep in heart. Love teaches us a significant lesson in our lives—cherish what you own in this moment.
我们都愿意为了彼此而做出改变，不再是只想着自己，心里边多了一抹身影。爱情教会了我们生命中重要的一课——且行且珍惜。
等到生命快要走到尽头的时候，回头看看，不会落寞，也没有遗憾，转过来看看身边陪伴的人，虽然岁月在我们脸上都留下了风霜的痕迹，不复年轻时的俊朗与秀美，可是心中却全是满足。
一路走来纵有风雨洗礼，却从未放开过彼此紧握的手。这是誓言，愿陪你走到白头。
Whenever you meet with someone, the intention of staying together isn’t for the expensive presents or touching sweet words, but only because the simple sentence—I love you.
什么时候遇见一个人，你们在一起不是为了昂贵的礼物，不是为了动听的情话，只是因为那句——我爱你。
