双语阅读：初恋教会我的那些事

摘要:没有感情不争吵。不管你有多在乎对方，不管你们有多少共同点，你们肯定会有意见不合的时候。忍让、妥协交流都能让你们停止争吵。

Conflict can be healthy

No relationship will be smooth sailing from start to finish. No matter how much you care about someone, or how much you have in common, there will be times when you disagree. Sacrifice, compromise, and communication will soon take the place of quarreling or arguing.

Your body issues aren’t really issues

初恋教会我的那些事

外貌不是问题

All of us have hang-ups about our appearance, but being with your first love will make you view yourself in a different way. In fact, significant others will often adore the qualities you think are flaws. Most importantly, your first love will surely teach you to see your body in a more positive way, regardless of the road your relationship takes.

我们都很在乎自己的外表，但是你的初恋会让你用不一样的方式看待自己。事实上某些人还会羡慕你自己眼中的缺点。更重要的是，不管你们的感情路如何，初恋会教你用另一种更积极地方式看待你自己。

Selflessness is a virtue

无私是一种美德

If you’re like most of us, the biggest concerns in life are things that affect you. While a self-centered approach is often valuable in career and education endeavors. Learning to share your time and space long-term will be absolutely crucial to a successful love life in the future. First loves challenge our selfishness.

像我们大多数人一样，生活中最大的问题就是影响到自己的问题。然而以自我为中心最大的好处就体现在职场和教育中。学着与人分享你的时间和空间对于未来完美的感情生活是很重要的。初恋往往挑战着你的自私。

You’re too hard on yourself

对自己太严厉

Many of us hold what we think are high standards for ourselves, but they are in fact impossible standards. if you would be soft on a friend in the same situation, there’s no need to be hard on yourself. If your relationship’s a healthy one, your first love will undoubtedly challenge this habit.

我们许多人都给自己定了高要求，但实际上都做不到。如果同样的情况下你能对朋友做到轻松相待，那你也没必要对自己严厉，如果你们感情很好，那么毫无疑问你的初恋也会挑战你的这一习惯。

Relationships need love too

感情也需要爱的经营

Maintaining a relationship is much different than casually dating or starting a relationship. To truly care for someone else takes effort and longevity. Learning how to care for someone over time, and how to make the right decisions for your situation, is a critical lesson we take from our first love.

维持一段感情不同于平常的约会，和你们刚恋爱的时候也不一样要真正花时间和精力去照顾对方。学着如何关心别人，怎样做出最正确的决定等都是我们从第一段感情那里学到的最重要的一堂课。

还记得那纯纯的初恋吗?还记得那种不知不觉爱一个人就像呼吸的感觉吗?也许有时候就连你自己都不知道你为什么会爱上那个ta，那种感觉虽无以言表，却美妙至极!

I'm not sure when I first fell in love with you...

I guess it could have been as early as that first time we held each other， or the first time I realized that you liked me， too...

I'm not sure; I just remember thinking of you more and more and getting less and less done in the process!

I just remember wanting you to stay so badly - and being so thrilled at the thought!

I still remember praying that it was you whenever the phone would ring， but at the same time hoping it wasn't; because I didn't know how in the world I was going to sound romantic and impressive when what I felt was anxious and even tongue-tied...

Sometimes it still amazes me - how I get so anxious and thrilled and thoughtful about you; I guess maybe it's because I just keep falling wonderfully in love with you... over and over again.

当我第一次与你热恋时，我并不那么确定...

我想可能是在与你第一次执子之手，或是我第一次意识到你也像我喜欢你一样喜欢我...

我不确定;只记得在这期间，我是越来越思念你，也越来越一无所成!

我只记得如此痛苦的思念你留下来，记得心灵如此悸动!

仍然记得，在那时，无论电话是否响起，我都期望来电的人是你!可又希望不是你。因为当时我并不知道在我紧张甚至舌头都在打结的情况下，要怎样才能让自己听起来浪漫、有魅力!

有时，那种感觉让我惊喜不已

我是如此焦虑

如此的欣喜若狂

如此的关心你...

我想，或许是因为我已毫无保留的爱上了你...

并一次又一次的陷入其中!

初恋是美好的、单纯的，是每个人值得一生收藏的!也许两个人最后会由于很多很多原因而分开，可是那种人生第一次“视对方为唯一”的勇往直前是会永远铭记于心的!感谢生命中的初恋，感谢有你!
