Translation by Sam Bowden

When it comes to matters of marriage it’s very hard to say who does things correctly and who doesn’t. There’s no need to blindly imitate those so-called “model couples,” because the experience is purely personal, and you cannot just simply copy and paste.

—Author Su Qin

婚姻事难分是非，不必过度迷信那些“楷模夫妻”，因为它是一种纯私人化的体验，很难简单地复制粘贴。

——作家苏芩

You go to the bookstore, have a walk around and realize that your book is just one out of many.You go to the British Museum and freak out even more. It’s not really a big deal to have written a book.

—Food Critic Chua Lam joking about writing

你来书店里走一圈，发现自己写的只是其中之一而已。去大英博物馆看看，更是吓死了。所以写了书，没什么大不了的。

——美食家蔡澜笑谈写作

When you’re in love, don’t let people down; when you’re hanging out, don’t let the surroundings down; when you’re sleeping, don’t let your bed down;when you’re alone, don’t let yourself down.

—Young Author Lu Sihao

爱的时候不辜负人，玩的时候不辜负风景，睡觉时不辜负床，一个人时不辜负自己。

——青年作家卢思浩

At daybreak, my cell phone is my alarm; on my way to work, it acts as a watch; in the morning it is my search engine;in the afternoon it’s my instant messenger; in the evening it’s a gaming console; before bed, it’s my sleep medicine.

—An online comment on cell phone uses

早晨，手机是闹钟；上班路上，手机是手表；上午，手机是搜索引擎；中午，手机是聊天工具；下午，手机是浏览器；晚上，手机是游戏机；睡前，手机是安眠药。
