Love

is

a

telephone

which

always

keeps

silent

when

you

are

longing

for

a

call,

but

rings

when

you

are

not

ready

for

it.

As

a

we

often

miss

the

sweetness

from

end.

Love

is

a

telephone

which

is

seldom

programme-controlled

or

directly

dialed.

You

cannot

get

an

immediate

answer

by

a

mere"hello",

let

alone

go

deep

into

your

lover's

heart

by

one

call.

Usually

it

has

to

be

relayed

by

an

operator,

and

you

have

Destiny

is

the

operator

of

this

which

she

may

make

you

a

lifelong

victim

intentionally

or

unintentionally.

愛情是一部電話機(jī)，渴望它響起時(shí)，它卻總是悄無聲息；不經(jīng)心留意時(shí)，它又叮鈴鈴地響起。因此，我們經(jīng)常錯(cuò)過另一端傳來的溫馨的甜蜜。愛情這部電話機(jī)通常不是程控的，也不是直撥的。并非純粹說聲“喂”便可立即得到回音，更不是一個(gè)電話就能深深打動(dòng)你愛人的心。它通常需要人工轉(zhuǎn)換，你得耐心等待。命運(yùn)是這部電話的接線員，她總是缺乏責(zé)任心，又愛搞惡作劇，或許有意無意地捉弄你一生。

some

you

can't

any

no

這是接受肥胖的一個(gè)核心論點(diǎn):不管你有多胖，都有可能保持健康，把減肥作為一個(gè)目標(biāo)是徒勞、不必要和適得其反的——肥胖不是別人的事，而是你自己的事。一本新書健康在每個(gè)大小概述了這種方法,這是關(guān)于節(jié)食比一種生活方式的改變,強(qiáng)調(diào)直觀吃”:聽饑餓信號(hào),當(dāng)你餓的時(shí)候,吃垃圾選擇有營養(yǎng)的食物。它主張扔出浴室磅秤,愛你的身體,無論它的重量。The
