“I stop in my tracks. Millets? I never go into Millets. What would I be doing in Millets? I stare at the statement in puzzlement, wrinkling my brow and trying to think—and then suddenly, the truth dawns on me. It’s obvious. Someone else has been using my card.
Oh my God. I, Rebecca Bloomwood, have been the victim of a crime.
Now it all makes sense. Some criminal’s pinched my credit card and forged my signature. Who knows where else they’ve used it? No wonder my statement’s so black with figures! Someone’s gone on a spending spree round London with my card—and they thought they would just get away with it.
But how? I scrabble in my bag for my purse, open it—and there’s my VISA card, staring up at me. I take it”

1.If you’re brave enough to say GOODBYE, the life will reward you with a new HELLO.
只要你勇敢地说出再见，生活一定会赐予你一个新的开始。
2.Giving up doesn’t mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you’re strong enough to let go.
放弃并不总意味着你软弱， 有时候反而说明你足够坚强去舍弃。
3.Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you decided to look beyond the imperfections.
你快乐，不代表身边一切皆完美。而是意味着你已经决定无视这些小瑕疵。
4.It’s not easy to change friendship into love. But it’s even harder to turn love into friendship.
让友情变成爱情不是容易的事，而让爱情变成友情却更难。

11.Everyone of the people who says she or he doesn’t want to be in love. There must be someone without possibility in their hearts.
每个嘴里说不想恋爱的人，心里都装着一个无法拥有的人。
12.Love is not finding someone to live with; it’s finding someone you can’t live without.
所谓爱情，不是找一个能一起生活的人，而是寻找到那个没TA就没法生活的人。
