情人劫，写给失恋的人 A Broken Valentine（中英双语）

“上帝看着一切所造的都甚好。”这是被造之初的世界。

可是亲爱的上帝，为什么这个世界上有那么多的遗憾？为什么美丽的故事不可以有完美的结局？为什么相爱的人最后无法在一起？

这是一个沦落的世界。蝴蝶飞不过沧海，幸福如履薄冰。夏天萌动的花朵，终究活不过北方凛冽的严冬。

"And God sees that it was good." That was the world in the beginning of Creation.

But dear God, why there are so many regrets and imperfections in this world? Why a beautiful story cannot have a happy ending? Why those in love cannot end up together?

This is a fallen world.  Happiness is like walking on thin ice. You cannot fly across the ocean with the wings of a butterfly.  Southern flowers bloomed in summer cannot survive the harsh winter of the north.

这是一种怎样的心痛。回想起当时一起走过的路，一起读过的书，一起幻想过的未来，忐忑又甜蜜的期待，温馨的点点滴滴，一个人走着都会不自觉地傻笑出来…即使那时心里的温度渐渐冷掉了， 走过的路渐渐陌生了，不停的计划憧憬着未来的感觉渐渐陌生了，心痛却仍旧如此真实而直接。

那时你说，最爱我放肆的大笑。可现在，我再也笑不出来。

即使有时候觉得自己已经放下了，其实伤疤还在，心痛会在想象不到的时刻突然袭来，让人措手不及。

What a heartache it is! Especially when you think of the places you had been together, the books you read together, and the future you dreamed about together. Life was full of sweet little hopes, unsettling long waits, and heart-warming moments that gave you foolish giggles at night. Even as those memories drift afar and those feelings fade away, the heartache is so real and hurts as hell.

You once told me how much you loved my crazy wild laughs. But now, I don't know how to laugh any more.

Even when you are certain that you have gotten over it, the scar is still deep in your heart, and those familiar heartaches still strike you at moments that you least expect.

回忆起那时的一切，就像做梦一样……可惜美梦最终还是要醒过来。想起了权力的游戏中，丹妮莉丝在不朽神殿重遇早已死去的丈夫卓戈和儿子，卓戈说，“我的月亮，如果这是一场梦，我会把叫醒我的人碎尸万段！”

还有劳勃国王终生难忘的初恋莱安娜：

“她是我此生唯一所爱所想所求。她被别人夺走了，七大王国也弥补不了她留下的遗憾和虚空。” 七国之王的宝座，权利的巅峰，一生的荣华，没有了一生挚爱莱安娜，都变得那么苍白，那么虚空。

The memories of your time together felt like a dream, except you had to wake up from it. In Game of Thrones, Daenerys met her dead husband Khal Drogo and their son in the House of Undying. Drogo told her, "The moon of my life! If this is a dream, I'm going to kill whoever wakes me from it!"

And this is what King Roberts said about his dead fiancée Lyanna Stark:

“She’s the only thing I ever wanted in my life. Someone took her from me, and the Seven Kingsoms couldn’t fill the hole she left behind. ” The throne of Seven Kingdoms, the greatest of all powers, and a lifetime of honor and glory, were all so pale and meaningless, in the absence of his beautiful and beloved Lyanna.

哲学家说，人生有两大悲剧：一个是没有得到你心爱的东西；另一个是得到了你心爱的东西。人生有两大快乐：一个是没有得到你心爱的东西，于是可以寻求和创造；另一个是得到了你心爱的东西，于是可以去品味和体验。

得不到的，是最美好的。

Philosophers claim that there are two tragedies in life: not getting what you want, and getting them. There are also two great delights in life: not getting what you want, so that you can seek and create; and getting what you want, so that you can savor and experience.

The most memorable things in life are those we no longer own.

年少时的恋爱，不会如此患得患失。那时候还年轻，总觉得世界上还有大片的森林等待着我去探索，何必定睛于眼前的这一棵树呢？况且那个时候还有高考，有大学，有前程，有整个需要奋斗的青春在眼前，相比之下，恋爱实在不是最重要的事情。可是现在，上学毕业工作升职跳槽，该经历的都经历过了，最想要的不过是有个温暖的家。可是这么多年，走过这么多森林，却再也没有找到令自己怦然心动的那棵树。

Break-ups at our youth did not hurt as much. When I was younger, I told myself not to fixate my eyes on that one single tree when there was an entire forest in front of me, waiting to be explored. In addition, I was yet to start college and had to work hard to build up a future that I wanted. Love was not a priority in comparison. Yet now, college, graduation, job, promotion, new jobs, you name it, I have been through them all. Then I realize that I want nothing more than a warm and cozy home to return to at night. Sadly, after walking through many forests after many years, I never found another tree that took my breath away like the one I saw in my youth.

被分手被抛弃，终归是一种拒绝。我不禁地疑问，是不是自己真的不够好？其实哪里是这样 ，自己再完美，也无法赢得一颗不想要你的心。而想要你的那颗心，就连你的不完美都是可爱的。感情是双方的事情，付出真心未必会换来真心的回应。感情就是这样无法分析无法推理无法定论无法掌控。没有感觉，终究没有感觉，再多的爱又能怎样。我们无法选择自己会爱上谁。

世界上最难的事，莫过于在茫茫人海中遇见那个对的人。不是吗？无论我们多么努力地寻找，付出了多少心思去维系，到了最后，我们能够掌控的，实在微不足道，无力回天。我们无法选择自己会爱上谁，也无法选择谁会爱上我们。

Break up is a form of rejection, at the end of the day. I couldn’t help asking myself, am I not good enough to deserve him? This is an illusion. If someone doesn’t want you, he/she will always not want you no matter how perfect you are. But when someone wants you, your imperfections do not matter. It takes two to tango. You don’t always get back what you gave. This is love. It’s beyond logic, analysis, interpretation, deduction, theorization, experimentation and manipulation. The heart wants what it wants. We don’t choose whom we love.

Meeting the right one is the hardest thing on the earth, isn’t it? No matter how much we do and how hard we try, we just have so little control over it! Yes, we don’t choose whom we love, nor who loves us.

真心未必换来真心，还有谁比上帝更明白其中的无奈？他为世人舍弃独生爱子，世人却不理他。

付出一切未必得到欣赏，还有谁比耶稣更了解这种感受呢？他为世人赎罪而死，世人却弃绝他。

You don’t always get back the love you lavished. God knows it better than anyone. He gave His only son to save men, yet men ignore Him.

Your sacrifice and devotion are not always appreciated. Jesus knows it better than anyone. He sacrificed his life as atonement for men, yet men reject him.

但是，亲爱的上帝，即使这样，我并不后悔当初的决定，不后悔那场美丽的相遇。遗忘不了，就不要忘了，把这份回忆小心藏好，收进胸前左边的口袋。

我仍旧感恩，生命中可以有这样一份可忆而不可追的美好。

遇见你的夏天，是我生命中无与伦比的美丽。如果还能在梦里相见，多么希望就再也不要醒来。

But, dear God, I have no regrets of my past decisions, nor do I regret meeting that person. If I can’t have it all, I can at least try to remember it all. I am grateful for this beautiful memory buried in the wind.

The most beautiful summer in my life is the one in which I met you.

If I ever see you again in my dreams, I wish I never have to wake up from it.

他走了，带不走你的天堂。

你的问心无愧，你所承受的一切，主知道。

洪水之上，风暴之中，他仍旧掌权。

Your beloved is gone, but your Heaven remains.

Whatever you had sacrificed and undergone, the Lord knows it.

Even in floods and storms, the Lord is in control.

亲爱的上帝，求你给我微笑的动力，和面对未知的勇气。世界就是这样，付出真心未必得到回应， 你比任何人都更加懂得 。求你赐我笑着活下去的理由，赐我相信未来的信心，因为你来，是要让我们得生命，并且得的更丰盛。

Dear God, please help me smile again, and give me courage to face the unknowns in the future. In this fallen world, we don’t always get back the love what we gave, and you know it better than anyone. Please help me face it all with optimism without losing hope for the future. Because you came so that we can have life, and have it abundantly.
