“你知道……人忧伤时，都喜欢日落的……”
“You know ,when you*re feeling very sad,sunsets are wonderful···”
相当长的时间里，你唯一的消遣就是看看日落的温馨。
For a long time your only entertainment was the pleasure of sunsets.
——Chapter 6

若有人爱上了开在亿万星星上的一株花，
那么看着星星就足以使他感到幸福。
If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars,that*s enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars.
——Chapter7

“我若想认识蝴蝶，就该容忍两三条毛毛虫。
否则有谁来看我呢？你就要去远方了。
至于大野兽，我并不怕，我也有爪子的。”
“I need to put up with two or three caterpillars if I want to get to know the butterflies.
Otherwise who will visit me?You will be far away.
As for the big animals,I*m not afraid of them.I have my own claws.
——Chapter 9

我的那朵玫瑰花，普通的过路人会以为她像你们。
可是，她单单一朵就比你们全体更重要，
因为我为她浇过水，我为她盖过罩子，我为她挡过屏风，我为她除过毛毛虫，
我倾听过她的抱怨和自吹自擂，乃至有时默默相对。
因为她是我的玫瑰。
An ordinary passer by would think that my rose looked just like you.
But my rose,all on her own, is more important than all of you together.,
since she*s the one I*ve watered. Since she*s the one I put under glass.Since she*s the one I sheltered behind a screen.Since she*s the one for whom I killed the caterpillars.
Since she*s the one I listened to.when she complained,or when she boasted,or even sometimes when she said nothing at all.
Since she is my rose.
