The Half of It/ 真心半解/ (zhēnxīn bànjiě)  

1. Love is not patient, and kind and humble. Love is messy, and horrible, and selfish, and bold. 

爱不是耐心,不是善良和卑微。爱是凌乱的,糟糕的也是自私和勇敢的。

(ài bùshì naixīn, bùshì shànliánɡ hé bēiwēi. ài shì línɡluànde, zāoɡāo de yěshì zìsī hé yǒnɡɡǎn de.) 

2. In love, one always starts by deceiving oneself, and ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

在爱情中,一个人一开始总是会欺骗自己,在结束时欺骗别人。这就是世界上的浪漫史。

(zài àiqínɡ zhōnɡ, yīɡè rén yīkāishǐ zǒnɡ shì huì qī piàn zìjǐ, zài jiéshù shíqī piànbié rén. zhèjiù shì shìjiè shànɡ de lànɡmànshǐ. ) 

3. One that will make her fall in love with me, not make her storm off in a huff, like what you're doing right now.

一个让她完全爱上我的人,而不是让她生气就暴跳如雷的人。

(yīɡèrànɡtā wánquánàishànɡ wǒ derén, érbùshì rànɡtāshēnɡqì jiùbàotiàorúléiderén.)

4.You never know you if you could have a great painting.

你永远不知道你是否可以创作出一个伟大的作品。

(nǐyǒnɡyuǎnbùzhīdào nǐshìfǒu kěyǐ chuànɡzuòchū yīɡè wěidàde zuòpǐn.)

5. Love is not finding your perfect half. It is trying, and reaching, and failing.

爱不是发现你最好的另一半。而是去不断尝试,接触和不可避免的失败。

(àibùshì fāxiàn nǐzuìhǎode lìnɡyībàn. érshì qùbùduàn chánɡshì, jiēchù hé bùkěbìmiǎn de shībài.)
