爱情其实是个很脆弱的东西，它是需要两个人细心维护的。当曾发誓相爱的两个人，开始接受新的爱情，并不是因为有第三者的插入，而是那两个人的爱情已经破裂了。正所谓，一个巴掌拍不响，牢固的爱情不会因为有第三个人的存在而破灭。只有爱情已经破灭，第三者才能插进来。

Money Doesn' t Buy Happiness

Does money buy happiness？ Not！ Ah， but would a little more money make us a little happier？ Many of us smirk and nod. There is， we believe， some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that， yes， we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it "very important" or "essential" that they become "very well off financially". Money matters.
