The Map of Tiny Perfect Things / 微小完美事物的地图 / (wēixiǎo wánměi shìwù de dìtú)

1. Most of life is just junk. It's filler. And then, there's these moments, when all the randomness turns into something perfect.

一生中的大部分时间都是垃圾。 是填充物。 然后,会有这样的刹那,所有莫名其妙的事情都恰好变得完美。

(yīshēnɡ zhōnɡ de dàbùfēn shíjiān dōushì lājī.shì tiánchōnɡwù. ránhòu, huìyǒu zhèyànɡ de chānà, suǒyǒu mòmínɡqímiào de shìqínɡ dōu qiàhǎo biàndé wánměi.)

2. It's true that we're losing time every day, all the time, until one day it's all gone.

的确,我们每天都在失去时间,一直如此,直到有一天它全部消失。

(dequè, wǒmén měitiān dōuzài shīqù shíjiān, yīzhí rúcǐ, zhídào yǒuyītiān tā quánbù xiāoshī.)

3. No way. Man, I mean, you would be like the king of everything.

不可能。我是说,你能主宰这一切。

(bùkěnénɡ.wǒshì shuō, nǐnénɡ zhǔzǎi zhè yīqiē.)

4. We could've had this exact conversation like fifty times already. The repetition.

这样的对话我们已经谈过至少五十次了。像这样一直重复。

(zhèyànɡ de duìhuà wǒmén yǐjīnɡ tánɡuò zhìshǎo wǔshí cì le.xiànɡ zhèyànɡ yīzhí chònɡfù.)

5. Maybe it's better this way, you know? Maybe you were going to have this like doomed, toxic romance. 

也许这样更好,你知道吗?也许你会有一段注定的,有毒的爱情。

(yěxǔ zhèyànɡ ɡènɡhǎo, nǐ zhīdào ma?yěxǔ nǐhuì yǒuyīduàn zhùdìnɡ de, yǒudú de àiqínɡ.)

6. You know It is like solving crimes, and like finding true love. Right?

你知道这就像是用破案的方式,尝试去找到真爱。对吧?

(nǐ zhīdào zhè jiùxiànɡ shì yònɡ pòàn de fānɡshì, chánɡshì qù zhǎodào zhēnài.duìbā?)
