喜欢她的人叫她“师太”，也有人夸张地称她为“现代都会女郎的教母”，她是我们这个时代华语文学的奇迹。

不知道现在还有多少人读亦舒，亦舒不写小女人，她笔下的女主角都坚强、自信、深通人情事故、甚至强势到让人觉得有些残忍。亦舒的故事，是一个女孩长成女人的必经之路，是摆脱王子公主童话迷梦的当头棒喝。曾有人说“香港有亦舒、台湾有琼瑶”。琼瑶的宝贝儿们多是长不大的小女生，而亦舒笔下的女人才是真正的女人。

A real graceful lady never shows off what she has. She would never tell people what books she has read, where she has been, how many clothes she has, or what jewellery she got. Because she has no sense of inferiority.

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。——《圆舞》

The grievances can be told is not real grievances; The lover can be stolen is not a real lover.

能够说出的委屈，便不算委屈；能够抢走的爱人，便不算爱人。——《开到荼蘼》

No matter what you do, remember you do it for yourself, then you have nothing to complain.

无论做什么，记得为自己而做，那就毫无怨言。——《流金岁月》

Too often, people only believe what they want to believe.

人们往往只相信他们愿意相信的事。——《旧欢如梦》

The most stupid thing is to show off your self-esteem before money and love.

在金钱与爱情面前卖弄自尊，是最愚蠢的事。——《我的前半生》

In your life, there will be at least one time that you forget yourself for someone, asking for no result, no company, no ownership, even nor love. But just ask for meeting you in my best ages.

一生至少该有一次，为了某个人而忘了自己，不求有结果，不求同行，不求曾经拥有，甚至不求你爱我。只求在我最美的年华里，遇到你。

I love and am used to keeping distance from those changed things. Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. For example, when you love someone, changes are all around. I step backward and watch it silently, then I see the true feelings.

我喜欢并习惯了对变化的东西保持着距离，这样才会知道什么是最不会被时间抛弃的准则。比如爱一个人，充满变数，我于是后退一步，静静的看着，直到看见真诚的感情。

When you are young, you may want several love experiences. But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough. You need time to know, to forgive and to love. All this needs a very big mind.

年轻的时候会想要谈很多次恋爱，但是随着年龄的增长，终于领悟到爱一个人，就算用一辈子的时间，还是会嫌不够。慢慢地去了解这个人，体谅这个人，直到爱上为止，是需要有非常宽大的胸襟才行。

Is there anyone who hasn't suffered for the secret love? We always think that love could be the heaviest thing in the world. But one day, when you look back, you suddenly realize that it's always light. We all thought love was very deep, but in fact it's very thin. The deepest and heaviest love must grow up with the time.

有谁不曾为那暗恋而痛苦？我们总以为那份痴情很重，很重，是世上最重的重量。有一天，暮然回首，我们才发现，它一直都是很轻，很轻的。我们以为爱的很深，很深，来日岁月，会让你知道，它不过很浅，很浅。最深和最重的爱，必须和时日一起成长。
