第一章讲述了Kwan的出生,发展,以及文中Olivia对付Kwan的意见产生的一系列变革。
这一章中让我最为深刻的两个情节便是Kwan对付她母亲的一种执念的爱以及她对付Olivia情绪的转变。

对付母亲Kwan实在一贯抱有不满的心情,由于母亲一贯以来显得如此不真实,她知道她爱她,但是她从为切实的感想熏染到。
她问过自己的母亲,但是总是遭到了谢绝,逐步的,这样的谢绝对她来讲已经变成一种伤疤,不能愈合,但是她又将这样的伤痛粉饰,假装统统都好。
或许这样儿时的缺爱也造成后来她想要与丈夫离婚的匆匆因之一,她爱自己的丈夫,也知道他爱她,但是她并不知足于这样的爱,她想要的更多希望探求一个能把她当做全部的人,显然那是不可能的,这不是童话天下,是现实。
而另一方面,Olivia的爱比起其他人来讲更加热烈而持久,但是当她沉浸于她的爱中时,有时时时的厌烦,嫌弃,她讨厌她代替了她母亲的位置,但是在这样的同时,她也爱着自己这位同父异母的姐姐。
这位拥有神奇“魔力”的姐姐。

喜好的句子:

When I compared the amount of time she spent with others-even total strangers- I felt myself sliding further down the ranks of favorites, getting bumped and bruised.

With me, she is unreliable. Promises to take me to the movies or the public pool were easily erased with excuses or hate it when you pout.

I learned to make things no matter, to put a seal on my hopes and place them on a high shelf, out of reach. And telling myself that there was nothing inside those hopes anyway, I avoided the wounds of deep disappointment. The pain was no worse than the quick sting of a booster shot.

If hopes never come true, then hope for what you don’t want.

As soon as night fell, the grasshopper began to chirp as loudly as a bicycle bell warning people to get out of the road.

If you ask someone to cut off his hand to save you from flying off with the roof, he immediately cuts off both hands to show he is more than glad to do so.”

Sure, I loved him –too much. And he loved me, only not enough. I just want someone who think I ‘m number one of his life. I’m not willing to accept emotional scraps anymore.

August 2nd Chapter Two

这一章环绕这梦境展开,刚开始有些混乱,又看了一遍,觉得朦朦胧胧的觉得,看了大家的卡,才弄明白了些。

很喜好个中的一个句子

“Now you have no heart, how can live? Now energy, no color in cheek, pale, sad, tired.”

看似大略的句子,但是其实在现实生活中也显得很有道理,人要有信念,崇奉,实在我以为信不信教都是可以的,并不是只有信教才解释有崇奉,很多时候,我认为只要一个人有追求,对付生活有目标,而不是一个“空心人”,溘然想起一首诗,是艾略特的《空心人》,这首讲的关于一战后没有追求,没有爱情,没有信念的人们空虚的内心天下,真个社会显得去世气沉沉。
就像文中所说的没有心,我们如何生活?从此也看出信念对付人来讲是如何的主要,希望我们每个人都可以成为一个“至心人”。

还有另一句也很喜好“Time is not the same between one lifetime and the next.”就像文中所说的一样,每个人的韶光都是不一样的,我们的韶光永久不会与那先我们的挚爱一样,或许我们能做的便是尽我们可以做的珍惜身边的亲友,而不是为了金钱和事情而忘却生活中更加主要的事情,当然金钱也很主要。
φ(>ω<)

本章以Olivia的梦境为主,朦胧又不缺少现实感,先容了客家人的生活办法以及那里是如何决定自己的另一半的,那里的女人倔强俏丽,歌声动人,也会持家又不嫌苦嫌累以及当Cape诱骗村落民加入战斗为上帝而战,结果冲破了原有的沉着的同时,也是他们妻离子散,只剩下老人与孩子。
还先容了 Miss Banner和 Lao Lu与她发生的事情。

喜好的句子:

He was strong enough to work himself to death, smart enough to find the answer to whatever he wanted to know.

Chinese words are good and bad this way, so many meanings, depending on what you hold in your heart.

感想熏染:觉得这一章读的朦朦胧胧的,彷佛读懂了, 但彷佛也没读懂,大家的打卡都很棒,感触很深。

August 3st Chapter Three

这一章紧张谈讨了Olivia与幽灵之间的事儿,以与Simon的争吵为出发点,展开了与Miss Bonner之间的事情,以及带走自己娃娃上的披肩的小女鬼,她惊异于幽灵可以带走活人的东西。
但我更喜好的一段情节便是她与Simon磋商去世亡后生活的问题,天国或是地狱是否真实的存在,实在我们都不知晓,只是有的时候只是种希望或是信念,信或是不信只在于个人。
而且有些时候,那些我们身边的亲友,有一天他们离开我们时,我们伤心,我们怀念,我们回顾,但是随着韶光的流逝,我们会不会像文中所说的那样,那样的真切的觉得就此消逝。
不知缘由,又不知需不须要去探求。
实在对付去世亡,还是所知甚少,有事不想提及,由于害怕,由于不安,不过现在还是努力的过好每一天,才是最主要的。

本日读的也很慢,没有期待中那样理解的快,不睬解地方也蛮多的,回去又读了一遍,有地方偶尔情节连不起来,又回去看了看,希望往后逐步变好,大家理解的都很透彻,但是自己总是半懂不懂的,厉害的人真的很多,实在很倾慕,到自己也要加油!

August 4th Chapter Four

本章以Olivia与她妈妈的之间的故事开始,有关于她妈妈看待婚姻恋情的想法,还有与妈妈之间的交谈以及想起以前须要妈妈是他却不在的伤心,反而是Kwan来关心他的故事。
我最喜好的是前一半部分,在她小时候,他的妈妈对她的哀求许诺着,但从未履行过,一次次的伤心与失落落在无形中让她放弃了对付来自妈妈的爱,就像第一章所说的那样“I learned to make things no matter, to put a seal on my hopes and place them on a high shelf, out of reach. And telling myself that there was nothing inside those hopes anyway, I avoided the wounds of deep disappointment. The pain was no worse than the quick sting of a booster shot. ”她把自己的伤痛埋得很深很深,不去在意,不去渴求,然而这一次与妈妈的发言又让那样的伤痛显现,只管母亲说要安慰她,但实则却是责备他的婚姻,她说她的婚姻同她的一样失落败,她的母亲将她伤疤再次戳破,她不想去,但思绪已经回到以前,她想起自己独清闲床上哭泣,只管不想被Kwan创造,但还是创造了,Kwan女里逗她笑,不想让她伤心,但又能若何,对付母亲带来的伤是抹去的,由于Kwan毕竟不是妈妈呀。

Do you think Oliva’s mother should be blamed for Oliva’s failed marriage?

No, marriage is a thing for both of them not for her mother. One can never blamed other’s marriage, there is a lot of things that we never know about them, the thing between, so how can we blamed them as we never truly know them. So does Olivia’s mom.

Why did author create a mother and a Kwan in such a contrast?

Both of them is Olivia’s nearest man, one is her mother, another is her sister, but her never give her truly warm when she needed, while Kwan play this role all her life. But the most important thing is the role of mom can never replace by Kwan. Mom is mom , Kwan is Kwan, even she is important to Olivia. So in my opinion the author want us to know the importance of the influence that our parent does.

August 5th Chapter Five

Kwan想尽办法让Olivia与Simon联系,在Kwan 看来,他们很适宜,她不肯望她们就此分开,但是每个人对付爱的哀求不同,Olivia想要的更多,她爱他,他也爱她,但是她只是以为这样的爱并知足不了她,这样的爱,对付她来讲是远远不足的。
Olivia回顾起她与Simon相遇、相识以及她爱上他那一段日子,甜蜜又带上着伤痛,就像文中所说“Happy and sad sometimes come from the same thing.”她和每个普通的女生一样,在爱情来临的时候,有些不理智,她会去比较她与Eliza的各类,在看到Eliza的照片时,又光彩自己比她长得俊秀,但当Simon谈及Eliza的若何若何时,她又感到钻心般的疼痛,当然她有时也会为了迎合他的话题而撒谎,也会为一点点的小事儿愉快起来,由此可见Olivia 是如此的深爱着Simon,实在还是很希望他们在一起的。

August 6th Chapter Six

事情发展的出乎我的预见,Simon 主动亲了Olivia,但那之后又说了句“sorry”,我想这是每一个女生最不想听到的吧,之后他又向她阐明,说他彷佛同时爱这两个人,Olivia 不知所措,既生气又有些期待,只管对付Simon的态度很不满意,但是对付Olivia,她并不想放弃这次机会,她决定与Elza一决胜负。
但是让Olivia没有想到的是她有身了,并且已经开始想要与Simon决定今后的生活. Simon让两个女人伤心,Olivia质问他,责怪他,而Elza却发生了意外,不幸的离开了他们,Simon瞬间崩溃了,Olivia觉得很愧疚,她以为彷佛是她让她涌现意外的。
后来他们还是在一起了,但是实在Olivia并不愉快,她的生活到处是她印记,她想安慰他,就和他一起去回顾,去“他们”所见所闻的地方,Simon过得不随意马虎,然而Olivia过得更痛楚。

这场爱情来的不随意马虎,但是当他真正到来时,彷佛没有想象中的美好,充满了对愧疚、痛楚、推让、无奈…但是仔细想想,到底又是谁做错了?Olivia? Simon? 还是Elza? Simon怪他不卖力?还是怪Olivia 是第三者?还是Elza太冲动?实在我说不清,只是以为感情有时也是不能掌握的,爱而不得的痛是极为痛楚的。
只是爱得更深的那个人实在是最痛楚的。

这章越往下读觉得越心痛,心疼Olivia,也惋惜Elza的拜别,对付Simon也十分朝气。

期待来日诰日。

I felt myself becoming smaller yet denser, about to be crushed by the weight of my own heart, as if the laws of gravity and balance had changed and I was now violating them.

August 7th Chapter Seven

自从Elza 去世之后,Olivia由于自己的愧疚以及Simon对她一贯不能忘却,他们的生活处处有她的痕迹,那不是他们的生活,那是他们三个人的生活,而且Olivia像是第三者,她逐渐地失落去原来那样的她,她迎合Simon,彷佛她也极其惦记她,但是这都是假象她想彻彻底底的摆脱Elza的影子,想彻彻底底的解脱她的束缚,因此她寻求Kwan的帮助,探求她,并将Kwan请到她与Simon的家中,以此让Simon相信Elza希望它开启新的生活,并彻彻底底的忘却她,Simon相信了这个骗局,没有再去提过Elza,他们的生活开始了,但是统统并没有想象中的美好,Elza的思绪一贯缠绕在Olivia的心头,并没有由于“新的开始”而改变,她的妒忌转变为害怕、担忧,而且Olivia害怕Simon发觉他实在并不是真正的爱她,而他们的婚姻也会注定会就此失落败。

实在当Olivia制造这个骗局的那一刻开始,就已经对他们的感情造成了侵害,纵然Simon并不知情,但是Olivia也已经开始意识到这统统来得并不真实,人的感情并不是来去自若的,何况Elza从儿时就陪伴在Simon的旁边,而她与他比较却是一段短暂的光阴。

实在有去想过如果Simon知道了这个骗局会若何,体谅?还是背弃?Olivia又会若何?Olivia做的有错吗?实在她想让他忘却另一个女人,很正常,毕竟每个人都希望自己的另一半是全心全意的爱自己,就算是换做Elza,我想她也会这样做,或许办法不同。

对付他们的这段感情,我判断不出对与错,只是惋惜与无奈。

喜好的句子:

I’ve come to know that the heart has a will of its own, no matter what you wish, no matter how often you pull out the roots of your worst fears.

Yet over these last seventeen years, I’ve come to know that the heart has a will of its own, no matter what you wish, no matter how often you pull out the roots of your worst fears.

August 8th Chapter Eight

他们结婚了,统统并没那样的顺利,也没有像Olivia希望中美好,她太爱他,一次次的推让,一次次的争吵,也有些许的期待,但是总体看来,失落望伤心显得更多一些,但他们一起去医院的时候,年夜夫说Simon不育,Olivia知道他在想Elza,但是她能说是什么?质问他?不能,由于她更在乎他的感想熏染;当Olivia在住处因“怪声”而吓得闻风丧胆的时候,他却当做玩笑!
当Elza的歌溘然盛行起来,Simon每天都放并讴歌着,他有没有考虑过Olivia的感想熏染?都没有!
当初恋爱的美好逐步淡去,没有温存,只有类似白开水的生活,婚姻暴露很多的问题,但是韶光真的会消磨很多美好吗?会然人变得不体谅对方,不考虑对方的感想熏染吗?还是Olivia太依赖Simon?我以为不是!

这两天读的这几章越看心情越繁芜!


想到了一首诗Love me little Love me long, 爱我少一点,爱我久一点,在爱情当中,谁不肯望对方多爱自己一点,如果那样意味着分离,还不如在一开始爱我少一点,爱我久一点,这样透漏的点点悲哀与无奈就彷佛是Olivia的内心情绪,我想这也是后来她决定离婚的缘故原由吧,纵然面前的是自己所爱,但好似守了一颗空壳的心,这样的无奈与哀伤还不就此分开。

As to our hopes, our dreams, our secret desires, we couldn’t talk about those. They were too vague, too frightening, too important. And so they stayed inside us, growing like a cancer, a body eating away at itself.

Simon took my hand again and squeezed it. I squeezed back. This had potential. Together, I thought, Simon and I could dream up ways to fill the emptiness.

Love me little, love me long

- 爱我少一点,爱我久一点-

Is the burden of my song

我歌唱永恒的爱情

Love that is too hot and strong

如果爱得太炙热

Burneth soon to waste

它将很快燃烧成灰烬

Still, I would not have thee cold

但也不要对我冰冷

Not too backward ,nor too bold

不要爱得太羞涩,也不要爱得太狂热

Love that lasteth till its old

不要让爱的花朵那么快就凋落

Fadeth not in haste

我要你爱我 一贯到老

Love me little ,Love me long

爱我少一点,爱我久一点

If thou love me too much,

如果爱我太多

It will not prove me as true as touch

它不可能像金石那样永恒

Love me little ,more than such

爱我少一点我更乐意

For I fear the end.

只因我怕爱会失落去

I am with little well content

一点儿我就感到幸福

And a little from thee sent

一点儿就会让我满意

Is enough, with true intent

只要你是至心

To be steadfast friend.

我们的爱 死心塌地

August 9th Chapter Nine

婚后两个都在搪塞面前的生活,不像是新婚夫妇对新生活抱有期待与热爱那样。
那天,他们神往常一样去同一家餐厅用饭,餐厅人不多,Olivia把稳到一对夫妇,他们相互好似陌生人,没有互换,没有敌意,只是他们之间相互谢绝去理解对方。
这样的环境让Olivia觉得一丝丝的熟习感。
是多久她和Simon没有谈及到真正本色性的东西了,就算是一旦触及,他们也是当成玩笑将其跳跃,这样生活这得是结了婚的人所该面对的吗?这便是婚姻吗?婚姻中的两个人不应该相互依赖,相互鼓励吗?他们可以谈及那些与别人不可以触及的,可以在难过伤心时,回家时得到一个拥抱。
但是在他们的婚姻当中,那样的温暖都是浮在表面上的,而那些真正主要的东西却又触及不到。
这便是他们婚姻的问题。
Olivia看到了,当她真正派面去它的时候,只管Simon想要回避,但是他是做出了改变。
这样的改变对他们的婚姻有很大改变,他们像以前一样畅谈,舒心既愉快,但短暂的美好又被Simon的日记冲破,Elza提出离婚,Simon也没有反对。
这件又是谁对谁错呢?Simon不想说,由于隐私,由于他知道她会生气,Elza由于想要知道那个真实的Simon,想要探求一种办法靠近她,但是却创造到末了贰心里还有她,她不想接管,愤怒,心痛,想要与他分别,但真正分开却更加痛楚。
这又能怪谁呢?!
好想知道Simon到底怎么想的!


感想熏染:越看越心痛!

☆They didn’t seem to be having a fight. They just acted resigned, disconnected from both happiness and discomfort.

☆I felt like a small child, hungry and hot, itchy and tired, frustrated that I couldn’t say what I really wanted to. “I’m talking about us, what’s important. I feel like we’re stagnating and mold is growing around the edges.

☆I felt stuck in the bottom of a wishing well. I was desperate to shout what I wanted, but I didn’t know what that was. I knew only what it wasn’t.

☆He patted my eyes with a tissue, wiped my nose, then eased me down on the bed.

☆The pain seemed to last forever, but love disintegrated in a second.

☆I made myself as unemotional as I could. No hurt, no anger, no forgiveness.

August 10st Chapter Ten

Kwan不肯望他们就此这样分开,由于Lao Lu说他们是定命姻缘,他们注定在一起,只管她不相信。
这章中还讲了yiban的故事。

喜好的句子:

☆To me, best time now. You wait, everything change. Yin people know this.

韶光从不会等待我们,珍惜当下才是最主要的,在文中,Olivia对Simon的爱如此深,Simon的爱虽不及她,但也明白他爱她,那为什么两个人都不能退一步,给对方一个机会呢?或许,有些东西在心里是过不去的,如果可以,Olivia也不会做出这样的决定。
但是总之是希望他们珍惜当下,珍惜对方的。

☆I belonged to everyone, so I belong to no one.

文中的Yiban的命运坎坷,母亲自尽,父亲不负任务,根本不把他当做自己的孩子,将他当做棋子,这样的命运对他的心里造成了极大的侵害,“我属于任何人,以是我不属于任何人。
实在对付这句话并不是很理解,但是能感想熏染到二心坎当中那份忧伤。
很心疼他。

☆In all my life, I had never seen a person so intelligent, so wistful, so deserving to belong.

很喜好这句话。

August 11st Chapter Eleven

关于Olivia住处的声音,终于办理了,便是楼下那位盲人,提及这位盲人,孤独,残疾,贫穷,在这样的环境之下,恶念在贰心中产生,可想而知,孤独是多么恐怖,对他来讲,他的生活中短缺爱,他的心中短缺爱,末了就造成这样的结局。

Living alone edges my imagination toward dangers.

Simon和Olivia所期待的事发生了,然而他们却分开了,当她向他提到他们得到去中国的机会时,Simon堕泪了,实在他也是很重视婚姻的,只是在这场婚姻中他们忘却了一些对付他们来讲极为主要的东西。

We ’re both quiet, as if to remember our marriage with a few moments of respectful silence.

Olivia太不会表达自己的感情了,总是将爱与惦记藏在心中,总是将自己的伤心与难过埋在心底,在爱你的人面前,又何必这样倔强,又何必这样勉强自己呢?

But I say nothing, and even congratulate mysef for being keep my ill feelings in check, to not show how much I hurt.

Being able to restrain my emotions isn’t a great victory -it’s the pitful proof of last love. Every word, every gesture is now loaded with ambiously, nothing can be taken at face value.

当Olivia意识到自己这么多年来从未给予Kwan一起爱意之时,她被自己的无情所惊异到了,被自己是如何像自己的母亲所震荡到了,她不想成为像她那样侵害别情面感的人,她对自己的之前的那样无情那样冷淡的举动感到愧疚,她打算约请Kwan一同出游。
当读到这里的时候,真的好冲动!
实在生活中我们每个人都该当对那些爱我们的人表达一下爱意,我们要学感激,而不是一味的索取,有时候总以为没韶光给父母打电话,实在都是情由不是吗,由于我还有玩手机的韶光呀,不要说没韶光,实在都是借口不是吗。
很喜好一句话“爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的办法来爱你,那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
”可能有时候父母的爱让我们难以理解,但是对付我们来讲,他们爱是最无私的,当然我想当我们去爱别人的时候,最好不要以我们认为的办法去爱,而因此他们想要的办法表达我们的爱,就好比你喜好吃橘子,到别人却给你苹果一样。

而谈到孤独,我想到了艾米丽·狄金森,她20岁开始写诗,在她25岁开始,弃绝社交,在家务劳动之外,她基本闭门不出,在孤独中专一写诗30年,她把生活过成了诗,她有把诗留给我们,她的诗都很温暖,有力量,也有哀伤,到更多的快乐,神往。
她没去过远方,但将生活过成了诗与远方,对她而言,实在生活并不孤独,由于她有她所爱的,她所想要追求的。

August 12st Chapter Twelve

Simon还是很在意Olivia的感想熏染他打电话与她商榷关于去中国的事情,他说他不肯望由于他而让她错过去中国的这次机会,他希望她可以去中国,由于这对付她来讲意义非凡。
而Olivia听了Simon的奉劝与他的理解宽容时,她溘然意识到或许他们可以通过这次机会重新变成朋友,灵魂”之交很难再碰到一个。
Olivia试探的约请他一起去中国,Simon立马答应了。
读到这里的时候,真的好冲动,他们的关系总算有些变革了。
还是很希望他们在一起。
很喜好Simon说的那句话超喜好!
“I never stopped being yours.”而这个时候Olivia压抑的心情总算是变得明朗些了。

他们踏上了去中国的旅途,Kwan全程超愉快,而Olivia在飞机上也因措辞的问题闹了笑话。

喜好的话:

The first time I was a child that Kwan will be my constant companion for two weeks. The first time that Simon and I will travel together and sleep in seperate rooms.…the emotional havoc of going with the very two people who are the source of my greatest heartaches and hears.

Fate is the reason I'm going. Fate has no logic, you can't argue with it any more than you can argue with a tornado, an earthquake, a terrorist. Fate is another name for Kwan.

August 13st Chapter thirteen

他们三人开始了他们的在中国的生活,自从来了中国,很多的事情都很不同,Kwan开始早起,五点钟就叫他们起来,并让他们考试测验与宾馆不同的实慧既美味的食品,一开始Olivia是谢绝的,但是听了Kwan的一番劝解后,她也开始认为该当考试测验一下。

If you want to take picture of Chinese food, you have to taste real Chinese food. the flavours soak into your tongue, go into your stomach. the stomach is where your true feelings are. and If you take photos, these true feelings from your stomach can come out, so that everyone can taste the food just by looking at your pictures.

很大略的一句话,却蕴含很多道理呢!

之后他们租车去Changmian,路途中发生了很多事情,救下了一只猫头鹰以及Kwan的三个欲望。

★My body is jittery with exhaustion and excitement.

★Plumes of acid breakfast smoke mingled with the morning mist.

分享一首诗《希望是长着翅膀的小鸟》 ,还有一句肖申克的救赎中的一句话:

“Hope isthegoodthing, maybe the best thing, and no goodthings ever.”

✪ω✪希望我们都心怀希望!

Hope is the thing with feathers

——Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all

And sweetest in the gale is heard

And sore must be the storm

That could abashed the little bird

That kept so many warm

I've heard it in the chillest land

And on the strangest sea

Yet, never, in extremity

Tasked a crumb of me

希望长着翅膀的小鸟

希望是长着翅膀的鸟儿,

栖居在人们的灵魂之中,

吟唱着没有歌词的曲调,

永无止息。

在风暴中它的歌声最为甜美;

风暴一定会带来痛楚,

风暴会令小鸟窘困错愕,

它却留给我们如此温暖。

我已在最荒寒的陆地上,

听到过经的歌唱,

也在最陌生的海洋入耳到,

但它纵然身处绝境,

也不向我索取分毫。

August 14st Chapter fourteen

他们车夫叫Rocky,他自学英语,但能说的就那么几句,他很想去美国做演员,然后挣很多的钱,Kwan没有打断他,也没有否认或是去破灭他的这种梦想,但是现实是残酷的,无论在哪个国家,就算是在那时的美国,也是如此,在那里,人们压力很大,穷汉大概多。
当Kwan想要见告他这样的现实时,他溘然想起Olivia所说的话,我们不能冲破任何人的梦想,每个人都有心怀希望的权利。

Kwan 看到了那熟习的美景,那是Kwan给她讲的故事,那是梦中的景象!
这才是他们真想要看到的景象,这里没有鼓噪,没有美国街头的快节奏,这里沉着,祥和,给予人温暖的觉得。

Olivia知道BigMa去世,由于他看到了她的灵魂,她伤心的哭了。
但是伤心也只能短暂的,还是要面对所要面对的。

★You can not stop people from wishing. They can't help trying. As long as they can see sky, they'll always want to go As high As they can.

★Simon's face is tense, but when he catches me looking at him, he smiles.很温馨的画面是不是ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶ з

★In the distance is another pair of tall peaks, dark jade in color, and beyond the purple shadows of two more. Simon and i stare at each other, wide-eyed.

★Anyway, regrets are useless, always too late.

August 15st Chapter fifteen

Olivia由于Big Ma的离世十分伤心,但是Kwan不知道如何去安慰她,她不认识Big Ma,也并不理解她,但却曾经极度的伤过她,在她的心上刻上了伤疤。
这让特Kwan想起了自己的母亲,如果未来的某一天自己的母亲也离她而去的时候,她会不会也会感到难过、孤单,会不会对她对自己的侵害选择体谅,带着这样的愧疚她思考着这个问题。
实在Kwan是爱她的,只由于重视,才会受到侵害,我们总是对付那些我们所爱的人更加的苛刻,我们会对他们索取的很多,希望得到他们的重视自己更多的爱护。
实在对付现在的Kwan来讲,她想要的不过是一句来自母亲的对不起而已。

Olivia并不再沉浸于悲哀之中,她开始与她讲关于上一世中的故事,那场叛乱,让她失落去了她的丈夫Zeng,他们本可以一起逃到岩穴之中,但是Kwan想要救自己的朋友,只管Zeng有些不宁愿,但是他知道有时候爱一个人并不但是爱她就好了,很多的时候要为她的周围所考虑,毕竟当他们决定在一起的时候,实在就不仅仅是两个人的事了。

★The rivers are already flowing, not with boats but with blood.

★Ten years before, the Heavenly King had sent a tide of death from the mountains to the coast. Blood flowed, millions died.Now the tide was returning.

★But i knew this stillness meant the season of danger was now danger disaster would soon begin. The air was thick and damp, hard to breathe. I saw No birds, I saw no clouds. The sky was stained orange and red, As If the bloodshed had already reached into the heavens.

★And still i couldn't get rid of this feeling that something was crawling on my skin.

★The night grew darker, the air even heavier, as the ground rose up and smashed against My face.

★That with your death, i know too late what i have truly lost.

感想熏染:爱情很神奇,你会为那个人付出,你会想为那个人做一些事情,但有时候却以为它很繁芜,看不透对方,难以捉摸。
不过对付Zeng的捐躯很伤心π_π。

August 16st Chapter sixteen

Big Ma想要让Olivia给她拍照,由于当她在世时并没有什么好看的照片,只管Kwan并不想给去世的人拍照,但是一想到来中国之后的各种奇怪的事情,她也就赞许了。
他们来到了Big Ma的家,他们要在这里待上一阵子,但是由于寝室有限Olivia与Simon须要同房,但是她以为极为不适宜,他们毕竟已经离婚了。
关于Dulili的身份还是有很多疑问的。

喜好的句子:

★I wink at Kwan and try to keep a straight face. Simon's eyes widen. this is a game he and I used to play in the early days of living together.

这一章内容超越色,只管还是有很多迷惑,但又感慨作者强大的想象力!

关于Dulili的故事很奇妙,她从不说话,不像是Kwan那样瘦弱,她与Kwan是好朋友,他们之间不须要措辞,Kwan也是唯一一个能理解她的\"大众shadow talk\"大众的人,她带来了幸运,也带来了灾害,一场大雨让他们濒临去世亡,但是他们的灵魂还在,只是Kwan身体再也不能复活了,Big Ma本想将他们埋葬起来,但是奇怪的事情发生了,lili醒了,但是并不是她,她身上的灵魂是Kwan的!
在梦中Kwan来到了yin world,但是lili让他回去,她说七年之后,统统将会重新安排。
然后Kwan就回去了

这章迷惑很多,期待来日诰日

喜好的句子:

She watched the world like a baby bird, black, looking for danger.

August 18st Chapter eighteen

Now that our marriage is over, I know what love is. It’s a trick on the brain, the adrenal glands

releasing endorphins. It floods the cells that transmit worry and better sense, drowns them with biochemical bliss. You can know all these things about love, yet it remains irresistible, as beguiling as the floating arms of long sleep.

很喜好这句话,说的很真实,又有些无奈。
它让我们忧虑,又让我们快乐,让我们思念,又让我们无奈,但是我们还是会沉浸在个中,无法自拔。
这一章脑洞也很大,Dulili杀鸡,changmian真的含义等……

August 19st Chapter19

看到这一章实在蛮欣慰的,由于Olivia与Simon终于和好了,后来他们在山谷里还是很惊险的,Olivia很担心他们有危险,而Simon却想进去看看到底有什么,男人的好奇心总是比女人强,正如文中所说\"大众Probably one of those biological differences between men and women. Women’s brains use higher and more evolved functions, which account for their sensitivity, their humaneness, their worry, whereas men rely on more primitive functions.

有时候男生不会理解女生的想法,而女生也是一样,由于他们的思考办法不同,由于他们的所求不同。
在这样敏感的感情趋势之下,Olivia讯问了关于他们分居之后的生活,当知道结果后她极度失落望,但是Simon以为这些并不主要,由于那些人他并不在意,对他来讲,那些只不过是一些需求,他真正在意的是Olivia,但Olivia并不这样理解,她觉他背叛了她,她又提起Elza,她在意除她以外的女人,他们辩论着,Olivia哭了,Simon也很生气。

感想熏染:

或许女生们都会对爱的人更加苛刻,希望他们更加忠实,无论是肉体还是精神方面,但现实有时并不会这样,那这样的时候又该如何做出选择呢?还是很希望他们快些和好!

August 20st Chapter twenty

自从Olivia与Simon吵架后,Simon就一贯未归,Olivia的心情又生气逐步转变为担心、焦急,然后又很发急、害怕他发生什么不好的事情,实在她有些坐立不安,但又不想不想表现的过于明显。
后来她再也坐不住了,后来她与Kwan出去探求,他们找了良久,依旧没有找到他,不过Kwan却找到了音乐盒,那个上一世时Ms Banner送给她的音乐盒,而Olivia实在便是Ms Banner,循环可能会改变一些东西,但那些真正存在于内心的情绪是带不走的。

喜好的句子:

He’s inconsiderate that way. He keeps people waiting. He doesn’t even think they might be worried. He’ll be here any minute. He’ll arrive with that irritating grin of his, and I’ll be pissed for worrying without reason.

August 21st Chapter21

Kwan连续讲着上一世他们的故事,当Kwan与yi ban安全到达洞穴后,她见告他了实情,她说Miss Banner只是假装爱着擦Cape,她只是想要就他们,yiban 听后机器愤怒,想要回去,Nunumu叫他不要冲动,然后她找了个借口去救Miss Banner,Miss Banner的腿受伤了,但是他们还是回到了洞穴,但却没有创造yiban,后来Miss Banner叫他不要再找了,他们韶光也不多了,如果yiban去世了,他们将在world of yin 中相遇,然后他们就相互依偎,直到去世去。

August 22st Chapter22-24

Kwan与Olivia回顾他们前世是如何去世的,但他们都记不太清,Kwan还说前世中她是Elza的女儿。
他们连续续探求Simon,当Kwan说要去一个洞穴是,让她在外边等着,就在这时,Simon涌现了,Olivia又哭又笑,不知如何是好,他们牢牢相拥,让对方切实感想熏染到他们的存在。
他们在那儿等Kwan,但是却一贯没有等到。
就这样,Kwan消逝了两月,警察,政府,专家都出动了,也没有找到,他们在changmian办了葬礼,Olivia有身了,生了个小姑娘,她与Simon的生活依旧会有争吵,但是现在的他们不会再像以前那样,他们会信赖对方,原谅对方,关心对方。
而Olivia不会再为Kwan的拜别而伤心,由于在她心里,Kwan依旧活着。

★You can’t let those you love leave you behind in this world without making them promise they’ll wait.

★We’re still working things out, deciding what’s important, what matters, how to be together for more than eight hours at a stretch without disagreeing about which radio station we should put on.

★I think Kwan intended to show me the world is not a place but the vastness of the soul. And the soul is nothing more than love, limitless, endless, all that moves us toward knowing what is true. I once thought love was supposed to be nothing but bliss. I now know it is also worry and grief, hope and trust.

★If people we love die, then they are lost only to our ordinary senses. If we remember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses.
