--紫薇愿--

 

爱得不够，才借口多多。

 

When love is not enough, excuses are more than enough.

 

--电光幻影--

 

行乐及时，上天给你什么，就享受什么。千万不要去听难堪的话，一定不去见难看的人。或者是做难做的事情，爱上不应爱的人。

 

Enjoy in time whatever God gives you. Never listen to the bad, never look at the ugly; or never do the difficult, never love the undeserved.

 

--开到荼蘼--

 

能够说出的委屈，便不算委屈；能够抢走的爱人，便不算爱人。

 

If your grievance can still be told, it won’t be the real grievance;

If your lover can still be reaved, he won’t be the real lover.

 

--圆舞--

 

真正有气质的淑女，从不炫耀她所拥有的一切，她不告诉人她读过什么书，去过什么地方，有多少件衣服，买过什么珠宝，因为她没有自卑感。

 

A real charming lady won’t show off what she has. She won’t tell what she reads, where she goes, how many clothes or jewel she buys, ‘cause she has no inferiority complex.

 

--她的二三事--

 

如此情深，却难以启齿。原来你若真爱一个人，内心酸涩，反而会说不出话来，甜言蜜语，多数说给不相干的人听。

 

When your feeling is too deep to tell, you really fall in love, shy and wordless. Cajolery in most cases is for those who you actually don’t care.

 

--忽而今夏--

 

真的，只要舍得放手，就可换回自由。

 

Really, if you know how to release, your freedom is in your hand.

 

何必向不值得的人证明什么，生活得更好，乃是为你自己。

 

You don’t have to prove anything to the undeserved. To live a better life is your business.

 

骗一个人，要费好大的劲，不在乎她又如何肯骗她，所以将来有人苦苦蒙骗你，千万不要拆穿他。

 

It takes time and energy to cheat someone, however, if you don’t care, why should you tell a lie? Therefore, if someone tries his best to cheat you, just let it be.

 

--星之碎片--

 

爱一个人决不潇洒，为自己留了后步的，也就不是爱。

 

Love is never free and easy. When you leave yourself a bridge of gold, it is not real love.

 

无论怎么样，一个人借故堕落总是不值得原谅的，越是没有人爱，越要爱自己。

 

Whatsoever, it is not forgivable to be self-abandoned by using all kinds of excuses. The less love you have from somewhere else, the more love you have to grant to yourself. 

 

--旧欢如梦--

 

人们往往只相信他们愿意相信的事。

 

People usually just believe what they are willing to believe.

 

--花常好月常圆人长久--

 

已去之事不可留，已逝之情不可恋，能留能恋，就没有今天。

 

The past has passed; the feeling has gone; if you still hold all of these in hand, you do not have your today.

 

--愛情之死--

 

当一个男人不再爱一个女人，她哭闹是错，静默也是错，活着呼吸是错，死了还是错。

 

When a man no longer loves a woman, it’s wrong when she cries, when she’s silent, when she’s alive, even when she’s dead.

 

--玫瑰的故事--

 

失去的东西，其实从来未曾真正地属于你，也不必惋惜。

 

Those that you had lost, actually never belong to you, thus no need to regret.

 

The legendary fashion designers of the world posses very little similarity to their patrons; typically a young, urban culture hungry to devour the latest pieces defined as trend by the runways of the world. One particular designer, Italian designer Roberto Cavalli, relies on his mature fashion experience to guide his eye in creating his collections of fashion couture. Despite his more recent success throughout the world, Roberto Cavalli has long been a pioneer of taste and fashion.

 

Born in Florence, Italy on November 15, 1940, Roberto Cavalli was very much destined for an artistic career. As the son of a tailor, he was exposed to the elementary fundamentals of design and sewing; skills he would carry from childhood to the title of coveted designer. Cavalli's grandfather, Giuseppe Rossi, was an impressionist painter with pristine works that remain in the halls of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. (The Uffizi Gallery, with a renowned collection of renaissance paintings from the likes of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, is one of the world's most famous museums of sculpture and paintings.) These traits contributed to gifted inspiration.

 

Acquiring a significant creative sense from his family fueled an already existent artistic ability. While attending the Academy of Art, he realized a unique, gifted ability as a painter, eventually uniting his painting talent and fabric sense, resulting in fashion extraordinaire. He was so enamored with the connection between fabrics, painting and art that Cavalli began to experiment with unusual fabrics and designs while continuing his studies at the Academy. Through detailed and thorough research coupled with modern technology, Cavalli invented the process of printing onto lightweight leather; a process he would later patent.

 

Appropriately so, Cavalli is most widely known throughout the art and fashion worlds as a gifted leather designer. Through the combination of lightweight leather and paints, Cavalli created a new frontier of fashion. Known at patchworks, Cavalli created pieces that would later become revered as pure classics. The pieces and works of Cavalli would soon realize more international fame and success when Brigitte Bardot gave the world a captivating glance of his talent in St. Tropez on the Cote d'Azur, about 3 hours from the Italian border.

 

Fast forward to 1972 when Roberto Cavalli would unveil his first fashion line in his hometown of Florence at the Palazzo Pitti; a historic architectural gem commissioned by banker Luca Pitti. Unfortunately for Cavalli, his first public presentation would not be received with the bliss and glamour as other renowned designers. Florentine's considered his use of denim less than fashionable since the fabric had not been previously displayed by the likes of such beauty and style-conscious figures. However, Cavalli believed his fashions were notable contributions to the world of fashion and continued his perseverance to become one of fashion's elite and prominent designers. 

 

A crowning achievement, so to speak, was incorporating the support and assistance of his wife, Eva Duringer, a former Miss Universe, to catapult his work onto the world stage. Through her encouragement, he maintained his unconventional style to create some of fashion's most coveted designs using the same fabrics, animal prints and designs as he did in his earlier days. Staying true to his artisan roots propelled Cavalli's career.

 

Cavalli's expansive fashion house includes men's and womenswear, children's, underwear and casual lines, as well as eyewear and timepieces. He has also introduced Roberto Cavalli casa, a line of fashion for the home. Today, Cavalli's unique creations adorn the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Sting, Alicia Keys and many other style-conscious celebrities and couture aficionados.

 

一个人   

雨下个不停  The rain never ends

冷风儿吹  with the cold wind blowing

我心是雨水  falling into my heart

慌乱没有起点  flustering from nowhere

慌乱没有终点  flustering without end

飞舞在烟漠之间  fluttering among smoke and fog

溅湿了衣裳  dabbling my clothes

迷惑了眼  deluding my eyes

到此为止吧  Here we are

不想和你争辩  stop our argument

爱上你是从前  All become the past

层层回忆将他洒在雨里面  Let the memories forgotten in the rain

 

驶向那白色地平线  Running towards the white horizon

浓雾漫在眼前  with the heavy fog always in front

悲伤它总是一瞬间  The sorrow just in a sudden

浸湿了我  hurts me

折磨着我  tortures me

为何你始终不曾知道  How come you never know it

 

只要你一个人了解我就够了  It’s enough if you know my heart

我已经付出全部爱和自由  ’cause I had paid all my love and freedom

只要你一个人了解我就够了  It’s enough if you know my heart

孤独它占据我心中已经太久  cause the loneliness had occupied me since a long time

只要你一个人了解我就够了  It’s enough if you know my heart

泪已经流干  cause I had no more tears

一切都太晚太晚  when it’s all too late
