一幅画不是众多物件简单拼凑而成的。牛只是一头牛，草地也只有青草和鲜花，而穿过树枝的阳光也仅仅只是一束光，但如果将它们放到一起，就会产生魔一般的魅力。 

    The higher I got, the more amazed I was by the view. 

    我爬得越高，眼前的风景便愈发迷人。 

    Some days the sunsets would be purple and pink. And some days they were a blazing orange setting fire to the clouds on the horizon. It was during one of those sunsets that my father042s idea of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts moved from my head to my heart. 

    有时落日泛起紫红的余晖，有时散发出橘红色的火光燃起天边的晚霞。在这绚烂的日落景象中，我慢慢领悟了父亲所说的整体胜于局部总和的道理。 

    Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road. 

    有时起初的隐忍可以避免一路的疼痛。 

    Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss. But every once in a while you find someone who042s iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare. 

    有些人沦为平庸浅薄，金玉其外，而败絮其中。可不经意间，有一天你会遇到一个彩虹般绚丽的人，从此以后，其他人就不过是匆匆浮云。
