Love and Time
愛情與時間
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge and all of the others, including Love. One day, it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left, except for Love.
很久以前，一個小島上住著快樂、悲傷等各種情感，還有智慧以及其它，當然還有愛情。某天，這座小島突然被宣布即將沉沒，所有的情感都造好了自己的船離開，除了愛情。
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
愛情是唯一一個留下來的人，他希望能夠堅持到最后一刻!
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
當小島即將沒頂之際，愛情決定尋求幫助。
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
財富開著一條大船經(jīng)過。愛情問，“財富，你可以帶上我嗎?”財富答道：“不，不行。我的船上裝滿了金銀財寶，裝不下你了。”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
愛情決定問開著漂亮的船從旁邊經(jīng)過的虛榮。“虛榮，請你救救我吧!”“我不能幫你，愛情，你渾身濕透了，你會弄臟我的船的!”
Sadness was closed by, so Love asked, "Sadness, Let me go with you." "Oh... Love, I am so sad that I need to be myself!"
悲傷也在附近，于是愛情問：“悲傷，帶我一起走吧。” “噢，愛情，我是那么的痛苦，痛苦的只想一個人呆著。”
Happiness passed by Love, too. But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
快樂也經(jīng)過了愛情，可是她快樂過頭了，沒聽見愛情在呼喚她。
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own away.
突然，一個聲音響起，“來吧，愛情，我來幫你。”那是一個智者。愛情非常高興，高興的甚至忘了問他們要去哪兒。當他們抵達陸地時，老人獨自離開了。
Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?"
愛情意識到自己欠了老人很多，于是問身邊的另一個智者智慧，“幫我的那個人是誰?”
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
智慧老人答道，“是時間。”
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
“時間?可是他為什么要幫助我?”愛情不解。
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
智慧微笑著，充滿睿智地答道：“因為愛情的價值只有時間才能理解!”
