很多女孩子羡慕浪漫的爱情。 那什么是浪漫呢? 年轻人说:浪漫是她想要月亮时,你不会给她星星; 中年人说:浪漫是即使晚上加班到零点,到家时,自己家里也还亮着灯; 老年人说:浪漫其实就像歌中唱的那样,“我能想到最浪漫的事,就是和你一起慢慢变老。” 其实,让我们感动的,就是生活中简单的爱情。 有时候,简单就是最大的幸福。

Many girls envy romantic love. Then what is romance? Young people say: Romance is when she wants the moon, you won't give her stars; Middle-aged people say: Romance is that even if you work overtime at night until midnight, when you get home, the lights at home are still on; Older people say: Romance is actually just like the song goes, "The most romantic thing I can think of is to slowly grow old with you." Actually, what moves us is the simple love in life. Sometimes, simplicity is the greatest happiness.
