今生你已不可取代

As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious1 out-side，but I wanted to be liked inside.

当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候，觉得自己总是让人失望。从外表上看，我似乎很叛逆，但是在内心深处，我是如此地渴望被人疼爱。

Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy，and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself.

有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚。这次旅行并不轻松，而且有很多次我感觉不安。有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着。回到家，我发觉自己变了，看上去不那么自信了。

I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me. I pointed out，“She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.

我很高兴能回到家，但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服，而且我父母看上去更喜欢她，我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我。后来，我把我的想法告诉了母亲，她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩，但她始终不能取代我，我说：“她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方。”母亲说这些都是非常好的优点，但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人。母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点———似乎还很多———但是，我被家中每一个人爱着，谁也无法取代。

I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.

我成了一个探寻者，想要知道自己到底是谁，又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展，我忍受住压力，不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。

Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.

每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么，你自己怎么想，你都是特别的。所以，不要担心自己会被取代，因为你永远是惟一的。

大学女生谈恋爱更爱AA制

After a seemingly endless 12-year journey, students finally reach their cherished destination and settle down as freshmen. After the struggles of middle and high school, college is a haven for freshers: A warm bed, new friends and, most important of all, freedom. Only one thing is missing: A romantic partner who can bring vitality and flavor to the college experience.

12年的求学之途看似漫漫无期，但学生们最终到达了一直期盼的目的地，迈入了大学校门。相对于初中和高中的艰苦奋斗，大学就是避风港：温暖的床铺，新的朋友，最重要的，就是自由。而对大学生来说，唯独缺少的一样东西，就是一位能够为大学生活增添活力与回味的情感伴侣。

But this flavor can often be soured by that well-worn poisoner of relationships everywhere: Money.

不过，在一个东西面前，这种味道就变质了，虽然这个东西平凡得不能再平凡，却是所有感情的毒药，那就是：钱。

And money issues can damage such a fragile butterfly as campus love.

钱能破坏如蝴蝶般脆弱的校园爱情。

Male students, as a result of both societal conditioning and a sense of chivalry, often take it for granted that paying the bill is symbolic of both their value in a relationship and the embodiment of politeness.

出于社会习惯以及绅士风度的考虑，男孩往往认为付账是天经地义的，因为这既是他们价值的象征，又是礼貌的体现。

“I never let a girl pay the bill, or I feel embarrassed,” said Wei Xu, an 18-year-old freshman at Sichuan Agricultural University.”

“我从来不让女孩买单，这会使我感到尴尬。”18岁的四川农业大学大一新生魏叙(音译)是这样认为的。

According to an online survey on that quizzed 6,000 students, 8.8 percent of them (mostly male) get an extra “relationship budget” from parents.

搜狐网针对6000名学生做了一项网上调查，其中有8.8%的人(大部分是男生)从父母那里获得了额外的“恋爱预算”。

Every month, Wei’s father gives him another several hundred yuan so that he can sustain the status of generous boyfriend. Whereas, according to female students, having a boyfriend that acts like an ATM machine is not always welcome.

每月，魏叙(音译)都从父亲那额外获得几百块，维系他作为一个慷慨男友的形象。但是，在女生看来，一个像自动取款机一样的男友并不总那么受欢迎。

“Spending parents’ money is not something to be proud of,” said Pan Tongtong, 18, a freshman at Beijing Normal University. “I would view such a boy as an irresponsible type.

“花父母的钱不值得骄傲，在我看来是没有责任心的表现。”北京师范大学大一新生潘彤彤(音译)如是说。

Liu Na, 18, a freshman at Shenzhen University, echoed those sentiments by saying that she prefers going Dutch as a way to show each other respect.

深圳大学18岁的新生刘娜(音译)也持有同样的观点，她更倾向于AA制，这样可以表示对互相的尊敬。

“The nature of a relationship is sharing not taking,” said Liu. “Plus, I don’t want to feel as though I am relying on my boyfriend financially.”

“爱情的本质是分享不是索取，另外我不想让人觉得我是在被男朋友养着。”

However, male students find it hard to accept the dawning reality of financial co-existence. Wei Xu believes that it would hurt his pride to ask a girl to share the cost. “I just don’t know how to open my mouth to raise the subject,” Wei said.

然而，逐渐兴起的经济独立并不容易被男生接受。魏叙认为请求女孩分担花销是伤自尊的事。他说：“我都不知道该如何开口提出这个要求。“

Girls, however, prefer setting ground rules regarding such matters so as to rule out any possible misunderstandings.

而女孩更喜欢先定好基本原则，以防出现可能的误解。

“It’s better to get things straight before dating, so that neither part feels undue pressure on the matter of money, which could be a sensitive subject in a relationship,” said Qin Xiaolan, a 19-year-old freshman at Wuhan University.

“在约会前最好先把事说清楚，这样双方都不会在钱的问题上感到过分的压力，这在双方相处中是个敏感问题。”武汉大学19岁的新生秦小兰(音译)说。

Some, however, balance things differently. Ma Shunyang, 20, a sophomore student at Guangdong Foreign Studies University, always gives some money to her boyfriend before going out for a dinner or a movie.

当然有些人也有不同的处理方式。广东外语外贸大学20岁的二年级生马顺阳(音译)在吃饭或者看电影前总是先给他男朋友钱。

“It is understandable for my boyfriend to be the one in charge in front of others,” said Ma.

她说：“我能理解我的男朋友在其他人面前愿意表现出占主导的姿态。”

Ma also thinks that having expensive dinners or going to expensive movies doesn’t guarantee a happy relationship. “The key is how much thought is put into the relationship, not how much money,” said Ma.

她还认为吃饭看电影花大价钱并不能保证幸福的爱情。她认为：“问题的关键在于投入了多少感情，而不是多少钱。”

Collectibles

收藏品

Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times.

从古代开始，收藏品就是文化的一部分。

Whereas some objects have been collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aestheticbeauty alone.

一些物品因它们的有用性被收藏，而另一些则纯粹因为它们的美被收藏。

In the United States, the kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.

在美国，当今流行的收藏品种类从传统物件，如邮票、硬币、珍本书籍、艺术品，到更近期一些的有趣的东西，如布娃娃、瓶子、垒球卡、连环漫画册。

Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade, in part because some collectibles have demonstratedtheir value as investments.

对收藏品的兴趣在过去十年中大大地增长，部分原因是一些收藏品显示出了它们的投资价值。

Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase tangiblesthat will at least retain their current market values.

尤其在高通货膨胀时期，投资者尽量购买那些至少会保持他们现有市场价值的有形资产。

In general, the most traditional collectibles will be soughtbecause they have preserved their value over the years, there is an organized auction market for them, and they are most easily sold in the event that cash is needed.

一般来说，最传统的收藏品受青睐，因为它们多年后仍保持其价值。 它们拥有完善的拍卖市场，在需要现金的时候最容易被卖掉。

Some examples of the most stable collectibles are old masters, Chinese ceramics, stamps, coins, rare books, antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known artists, autographs, and period furniture.

一些最稳当的收藏品是古老的画作、中国陶器、邮票、硬币、珍本书籍、古代珠宝、银器、瓷器、著名艺术家的作品、亲笔签名和有时代特征的家具。

Other items of more recent interest include old photograph records, old magazines, post cards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars, old bottles, and comic books.

其它更近期的物品有旧唱片、旧杂志、明信片、垒球卡片、彩色玻璃、布娃娃、早期汽车、古瓶和连环画册。

These relatively new kinds of collectibles may actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their value as long-term investments.

作为短期投资这些相对说来较新颖的收藏品的确可能更快地增值，但作为长期投资则可能不能保值。

Once a collectible has had its initial play, it appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by an increasing number of enthusiastic collectors competing for the limited supply of collectibles that become increasingly more difficult to locate.

一旦一件收藏品有了它第一次交易，它便以一个相当稳定的比率增值，这个增值率受到越来越多的热情的收藏者的支持，他们为有限的而且越来越难找到的收藏品而竞争。
