1) I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。


2) No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one
who is, won‘t make you cry.

没有人值得你流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。


3) The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting
right beside them knowing you can‘t have them.

失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。


4) Never frown, even when you are sad, because you
never know who is falling in love with your smile.

纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。


5) To the world you may be one person, but to one
person you may be the world.

对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。


6) Don‘t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn‘t
willing to waste their time on you.

不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。


7) Just because someone doesn‘t love you the way you
want them to, doesn‘t mean they don‘t love you with
all they have.

爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。


8) Don‘t try so hard, the best things come when you
least expect them to.

不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。


9) Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet
the person, we will know how to be grateful.

在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。


10) Don‘t cry because it is over, smile because it
happened.

不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。

遇到了挫折或不如意的事情，要怎麼樣去安慰人呢？

1. Hang in there.  撐下去。   
想像有人快要從懸崖上掉下去，只剩下一隻手抓著僅剩的一點的石塊，這時候他最需要的一句話就是 "Hang in there." 在這裏 hang in 就是抓住不要讓自己掉下去的意思。   
用在實際的生活中，就是鼓勵別人要堅持下去，不要放棄。像有一次電視節目中有個人被槍所射傷，他的好友就對他說，"Hang in there. I'll call the ambulance." (撐下去，我去叫救護車。)   

2. Cheer up. You've done a good job.  高興點兒，你作得很好啊。   
Cheer up 也是常用來鼓勵人的話，就是要別人高興一點，不要難過 (Don't be sad.) 而 "You've done a good job." 這句話則幾乎己經成為一種固定用法，每當別人完成一件任務時，你都可以跟他說，"You've done a good job." 或是簡單地說，"Good job." 或是 "Well done."   

3. You are very supportive.  你很支持我。   
支持在中文裏是個動詞，所以這句話很多人會說成 "You support me a lot." 這樣的講法也沒錯， 但 support somebody 在英文裏常有在金錢上支持某人作某件事的意思。例如 "My parents support me to go to the college." (我父母供我上大學。)因此老美常用 supportive 來表示一個人對一個人的支持。例如一些訪談的節目中就常可以聽到這樣的話， "My husband is very supportive." (我的丈夫對我十分支持。) 或是要感謝別人對你的支持時， 你也可以說，"You are very supportive."   

4.I'll get over it.    自己會度過難關
例如當你輸了一場重要的比賽， 這時就可以安慰自己說，"I'll get over it."   

5. Face it !  面對現實吧!   
"Face it." 跟 "Deal with it." 都是口語中非常常見的用法， 指的是去面對眼前的這個狀況。例如有人說他很想追某個名花有主的女孩，你就可以勸他，"Face it. She is dating someone else." (面對現實吧。她已經有交往的對象了。) 再舉個例子，比方說沒錢花了,但你的狐群狗黨們還要你出去吃喝玩樂。這時你就可以說， "Deal with it. I have no money now." (面對現實吧! 我已經沒錢了。)   
如果是極度困難的狀況，則還可以用 face the music 這個片語來加強語氣，這可不是聽音樂的意思喔! 而是指面對困難的狀況， 例如，"We have to face the music; your father is a nut case." (我們必須面對現實，你的父親是個瘋子。)   

6. They treat me like crap.  他們待我像廢物一樣。   
Crap 這個字指的是廢物(也就是便便的意思啦!)是個不雅的字眼， 不該在正式場合使用 。但是有時用到恰到好處，卻有畫龍點睛之效 。例如當別人對你非常不好，簡直就完全無視於你的存在 。這時你就可以去跟別人哭訴 。"They treat me like crap." 或是另一種不雅的講法，"They treat me like s__t. "   

7. Calm down.   冷靜一下。   
每當有人太激動時你就可以安撫他說，"Calm down." 或是 "Chill out." 還有人也把 "Calm down." 說成 "Stay cool." 同樣都是要別人保持冷靜的意思， 這些也都是常聽到的口語用法 。   

8. I'll back you up no matter what's happening.  不論發生什麼事情，我都會支援你。   
Back someone up 指的就是支援別人。這個字也可以當名詞用， 例如，"I will be your backup." (我會作你的後盾。) 當我們看到別人想作一件事情卻猶豫不決時， 就可以跟他說，"Just go for it. I'll back you up." (放手去作吧，我會支援你的。)

這幾天看戲學到的。

看Forrest Gump時﹐阿Gump在玩乒乓﹐他的上司來找他﹐阿Gump就停止玩﹐但上司說﹕"As you were."表示不必拘束

看Saving Private Ryan﹐大戰時喊的"Displace"代表移動﹗轉換位子的意思

向人敬禮過後﹐對方會說at ease, 就是不用再有禮的意思
