做女人，你要懂的
Being a Woman, You Have to Know
冰心说：“世界上若没有女人，这世界至少要失去十分之五的真，十分之六的善，十分之七的美。”
Bing Xin said: "If there were no women in the world, the world would lose at least five-tenths of truth, six-tenths of goodness and seven-tenths of beauty."
当今社会，男女趋向于平等，共同接受高等教育，一起奋斗在社会生活的各个领域。
In today's society, men and women tend to be equal to receive higher educationand to struggle in all fields of social life.
妇女能顶半边天。
Women can hold up half the sky.
无论是教育子女，治理家庭，还是搞科学研究，亦或是到太空探险，到处都活跃着女人的身影，彰显着她们的智慧。
Whether in parenting, family management, scientific research, or space exploration, women are active everywhere, which demonstrates their intelligence.
对于一个个家庭来说，更是好女人旺三代，这就是在肯定女人对于家庭的重要。
For families, a competent woman can make her family thrive for three generations, which can affirm women's importanceto the family.
女人天生爱美，爱浪漫。
Women are born to love beauty and romance.
大家都说：爱情的归宿在于柴米油盐酱醋茶。
Everyone says that the end result of love lies in everyday life, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
可是，爱浪漫的女人们不甘心啊，于是，她们把自己对于美好爱情的期望寄托在言情剧、偶像剧上面。
However, romantic women are not willing to live like this. So they put their expectations for beautiful love in romantic dramas and idol dramas.
看那男主人公多帅啊！
Look! how handsome the hero is!
剧里的爱情多甜啊！
How sweet the love in the play is!
哇，她在电梯里遇到了总裁！
Wow, she met the CEO in the elevator!
哇，她嫁入了豪门！
Wow, she married into a wealthy family!
于是，她们期望自己的爱情世界也是这样的。
Thus, they expect their love world to be the same.
可是在现实里，几乎没有什么“把她宠成小公主。”
But, in reality, there is almost no "petting her into a little princess."
倒是痴心女子负心汉、爱情的劈腿和婚姻的背叛屡见不鲜。
However, infatuated women meeting faithless men and betrayal in love and marriage are not uncommon.
因而，很多女人在失望与受伤后，又走向另一个极端，就是再也不相信爱情了，再也不向往婚姻了。
Therefore, many women in the disappointment and hurt go to the other extreme. They no longer believe in love and no longer aspire to marriage.
即便是走进了婚姻殿堂的女人，也会感慨：婚姻是爱情的坟墓。
Even the women who have entered the marriage palace sigh, “Marriage is the grave of love.”
撕去了婚前的伪装，一切现实令人难以直视。
With the premarital camouflage being torn off, all the reality is hard to look straight.
因此，我要这样告诉迷茫的她们：婚姻是恋爱的胜利，但不是圆满大结局，而是新生活的起点，更漫长的路还在未来几十年的春秋里。
Therefore, I want to tell them who are confused: marriage is the victory of love. It is not a happy ending, but the starting point of a new life. There is a long road to cover in the springs and autumns of future decades.
女人，要想婚姻幸福，首先得正视现实。
Women, if willing to have happiness, first of all, have to face reality.
付出才是幸福的来源。
Paying out is the source of happiness.
成功的婚姻不是穿起婚纱的那一刻就注定了的，婚姻幸福是一点点对家的付出，一点点得到大家的认可，幸福的日子，是过出来的，拼出来的。
A successful marriage is not destined at the moment when a wedding dress is put on. Marriage happiness is achieved by contribution to the family and getting recognition from other family members little by little. Happy days come from efforts and struggle.
公婆的认可，丈夫的敬爱，孩子的茁壮成长，都是女人挥洒汗水创造出来的。
The recognition of the parents in-laws, the love and respect formher husband, the healthy growth of her childrenare all created by a woman working up a sweat .
女人都爱美。
All Women love to be good-looking.
喜欢漂亮衣服，喜欢化妆品。
They Like beautiful clothes and cosmetics.
爱美是女人的天性，而且本身就很美好。
Loving to be beautiful is their nature, and it itself is very wonderful.
但是，在婚姻世界里，活得漂亮比长得漂亮更难得。
But, in the world of marriage, it's more valuable to live pretty than to look pretty.
因为每日四目相对，总有熟惯的时候，人，总有人老珠黄的时候。
Because when facing each other,days of getting familiar to one another will come sooner or later. Besides, all women get old with less beauty than before.
而好男人，是懂得欣赏自强不息、厚德载物的好女人的。
A good man, however, is able to appreciate a good woman’s qualities of self-improvement, self discipline and social commitment.
这是一种灵魂的震撼，必将历久而弥新。
It's a soulful shock which will last despite of the passing of time.
因此，女人要投资自己，不是简单的苦练妆容，学习搭配那么简单，而是要提升自己的灵魂。
Therefore, if a woman is to invest in themselves, they should not simply practice makeup and learn to match clothes. They should improve their soul.
在“美”这个问题上，不要低估男人的审美品位，更不要迎合肤浅男人。
When coming to the topic of "beauty", don't underestimate men's aesthetic tasteand don't cater to superficial men.
相反，女人可以引导这个世界的审美取向。
Instead, women have the ability to guide the aesthetic orientation of the world.
这样，才是尊重自己，又尊重他们，达到彼此尊重。
In this way, women respect themselves and respect men. Thus they can respect each other.
女人需要尊重。
Women need respect.
没有了尊重的男欢女爱，更多的是一种狎犯，这种爱也不会长久，而且也不美好。
Love between man and woman without mutual respect is more of a kind of offender. It doesn't last long and it's not beautiful.
女人要做男人的知己和战友。
A woman should be a man's confidant and comrades-in-arms.
以女人的姿态，和他们一起并肩战斗，一起建立这个精彩纷呈的世界。
Taking the stance of women, they should fight side by side with men to buildtogether this world of wonder.
