PART IV  TRANSLATION

When life gives us lemons, literature books provide us with an achievable realm that is better than reality. The water described in the books may be clearer than the water in our real life and the sky is bluer than what it is like in the real world. The idea of a perfect relationship is impossible in reality. However, the love stories in Butterflies in Love and Romeo and Juliet are eternal. Therefore, reading books will smooth over the nastiness and roughness in real life.
