英语双语美文：在这个世界上，还有什么东西是不会过期的

The soul mate you need had best be a person who can stand on the bow of a

boat shoulder to shoulder with you, sip wine slowly and hum a tune when

feeding your eyes on the scenery along both shores, and at the same time hold

fast to your hands and never let go of them when facing frightful billows and

terrible waves. In other words, it would be best that she herself is not the

tempestuous storm you have to deal with.

你需要的伴侣，最好是那能够和你并肩立在船头，浅斟低唱两岸风光，同时更能在惊涛

骇浪中紧紧握住你的手不放的人。换句话说，最好她本身不是你必须应付的惊涛骇浪。

Starting from sometime, all things existing in this wild world, like Sam-ma, canned

meat and even plastic wrap, have been labeled with a date of expiration, and that

has triggered my diffidence in the permanent validity of anything on this planet.

“不知道从什么时候开始，在什么东西上面都有个日期，秋刀鱼会过期，肉罐头会过期，

连保鲜纸都会过期，我开始怀疑，在这个世界上，还有什么东西是不会过期的？”
