There is another intolerable difficulty, it is not from others, but a cruel reality you have to face: Your child is not the chosen one.

G决不会说自己其实在给孩子挣奶粉钱，君子爱财取之有道，不怕有欲望，只怕欲望太low，说白了，这个欲望，必须高大上到跟生计、跟劳碌、跟一地鸡毛的现实生活没关系

G jué bù huì shuō zìjǐ qíshí zài gěi háizi zhēng nǎifěn qián ，jūnzǐ ài cái ，bùpà yǒu yùwàng ，zhǐpà yùwàng tài low ，shuōbáile ，zhège yùwàng ，bìxū gāodà shàng dào gēn shēngjì 、gēn láolù 、gēn yī de jīmáo de xiànshí shēnghuó méiguānxi

G will never say that he is actually earning money to buy milk for his children. A gentleman can love money and earn it morally. One should not fear having desires, but one should only be afraid of having desires that are vulgar. Frankly, this desire should be lofty with no relationship to livelihood, labor, and daily trivialities.

理想很丰满，现实很骨感。在没有好的配套措施，又没有法令限制的情况下，要继续推动这种共享经济，我看还早得很呐！

lǐxiǎng hěn fēngmǎn ，xiànshí hěn gǔgǎn 。zài méiyǒu hǎo de pèitào cuòshī ，yòu méiyǒu fǎlìng xiànzhì de qíngkuàng xià ，yào jìxù tuīdòng zhèzhǒng gòngxiǎng jīngjì ，wǒ kàn hái zǎo de hěn na ！

The ideal is great, but it's quite skimpy in reality. Without good and coherent measures, and in the situation where there are no legal restrictions, if you want to continue to implement this sharing economy, I think it's very early days still!

我这也是为了让你认清现实啊，诶，你去哪儿啊，我还有一些道理打算告诉你呢！

wǒ zhè yě shì wèile ràng nǐ rèn qīng xiànshí ā ，èi ，nǐ qù nǎr ā ，wǒ hái yǒuyīxiē dàolǐ dǎsuàn gàosu nǐ ne ！

I'm only keeping your feet on the ground. Agh, where are you going? I still have a little wisdom that I was planning to share with you!

哈哈，网民心想“宝宝心里苦，宝宝不能说。”换位思考下为网民想想，他们也只是希望能在虚拟的网络世界吐槽一下赤裸裸的现实罢了。

Ha ha, netizens would be thinking "Aw! Poor baby, are you feeling sorry for yourself?” From the netizens' point of view, they just want to mock reality in its naked form online.

是啊，虽然教育部门早就提倡“素质教育了”，希望学生们都能德智体美劳全面发展，无奈理想很丰满，现实很骨感啊！

Yeah, although the Ministry of Education has long called for "rounded education", in the hope that students are all able to develop in a rounded way in terms of their moral fortitude, their intellectual abilities, their physical strength and hard working nature, the ideal of it is a lot more substantial than the reality!

没错，虽然常常有人说“有情饮水饱”，不过在现实的婚姻生活中，更常见的是“贫贱夫妻百事哀”。

méicuò ，suīrán chángcháng yǒu rén shuō “yǒu qíng yǐn shuǐ bǎo ”，bùguò zài xiànshí de hūnyīn shēnghuó zhōng ，gèng chángjiàn de shì “pínjiàn fūqī bǎi shì āi ”。

That's right, although there is a Chinese expression which goes "When in Love, Even Plain Water Can Be a Filling Meal", in the everyday reality of married life, the more commonly seen situation is described by the phrase, "Everything goes wrong for a couple in poverty".

对我们东方人来说，真正恐怖的应该是日韩的一些电影，这些电影没有很血腥的画面，但会在一些现实的环境中营造令人窒息的气氛，让我感觉一转身就能遇见鬼，代表电影有《鬼娃娃花子》、《午夜凶铃》等。

For us Easterners, real horror is the Japanese and Korean films, films that don't have scenes of gore, but rather involve certain real-life situations will create an atmosphere of suffocation, giving me the feeling that I'll see a ghost as soon as I turn around. Representative films include 'Hanako-san' and 'The Ring'.

而当进入以后，游戏就是“成就感”的一大来源：谁的段位高，谁的游戏打得好，不仅是游戏中的主角，现实生活中也是被羡慕的角色。

When they are in the circle, playing games give them “a sense of achievement” : who has the highest score, who plays the best, not only are they the stars in the games but also envied in real life.

哎呀，我只是觉得，你这样抗拒现代化，迟早要和社会现实脱节的。不换手机，那去弄个脸书帐号也好嘛！

Agh, I just think that people like you who resist modernization will become isolated from social reality sooner or later. If you don't want to change your phone, then go and start a Facebook account!
