Once we want to waste money, the beasts of desire in our chests are awakened, they yell and stamp their feet, trying to control our mind. | Deng: “I wanted to be more vivid. I just wanted to stress again that our desire, the importance of controlling that kind of desire. Because what I wanted to say was that desire was like a dreadful monster. If it were awakened, you would be out of control”. |
There is a common view in China saying that the three carriages of the economy are consumption, export, and investment. […] we should pay a lot attention to consumption and rationally spend more so that our economy can have a sustainable and powerful driving force. | Wang: “What I was thinking at that moment is that, first, the topic is economy and spending, and then I came up with the same Chinese expression that I learned in senior high school so I translate the ‘马车’ into ‘carriages.’ The three carriages are equal to the driving power of economic development. […] I wanted to echo the earlier expression “three carriages,” so I wrote ‘powerful driving force,’ which means the drive that can lead to economic development”. |
Basically, love is the invisible power. It has the driving force which can encourage people to achieve some goals. […] love is like the petrol to a car, the battery to a player. | Li Y.: “It was, when I was using English to express myself, I worried that the readership might not understand my intended meaning. Maybe there was some of my own subjective understanding in it. I just wanted to mean that love is a strength that can move things forward, just like the function of petrol to a car and the batteries in a player. The strength was dominating because it could make you alive and give you energy, and make you operate and work. This is what I was thinking”. |
Pursuing romantic love is the instinct of human, just like hungry people find food. […] the romantic love, just like desert [dessert], can make the hearts warm and happy. | Guo: “Here I just want to make it clear that love is positive. It is normal and common, with no negative side. […] Love is sweet. When thinking about sweety, it is easy for me to link with desserts”. |
