我们还会再见面的。用不着现在决定,你再考虑考虑,等再见面,你也许改主意了。

Nobody understands when a woman makes a choice to marry and have children, in one way her life begins, but in another way, it stops. You build a life of details, and you just stop and stay steady, so that your children can move. And when they leave,they take your life of details with them. You are expected to move on again, but you don't remember what it was that moved you, because no one's asked you in so long.Not even yourself.

大家都不了解,女人决定结婚生子时,她的生命一方面开始了,另一方面却结束了。生 活开始充斥琐碎的事,你停下脚步,呆在原地,好让你的孩子能够任意来去。他们离开后,你的生活就空了。你应该再度向前,但你已忘了如何迈步。因为长久以来,都没有人叫你动。你自己也忘了要动。

人活在世上只是过客,如果离开人世也没让你最疼爱的人,知道你是谁,是很可悲的事情。

Known for all that you were during this brief stay.How sad it seems to leave this earth without those you love the most ever really knowing who you were.

许多人害怕改变,但是如果把它视作天经地义的事,也就释然了。

Most people are afraid of change,but if you look at it as something you can count on,then it can be a comfort.There's not many things you can really count on.
