　　只要有机会，我绝不让它溜走。

　　4、Listen, everybody's broke in their 20s, and everybody hides form stuff, you run into freezers, I practice ignorance and blackout drinking.

　　听着，谁二十多岁的时候不是穷光蛋。人人都有要逃避的事情，你选择躲进冷藏室，我选择视而不见和用酒精麻痹。

　　5、This is who I am. Nobody says you have to like it.

　　我就是我，没人非要你喜欢。

　　6、There is no luck. There is only work.

　　世上没什么运气，只有努力去挑战。

　　7、It's cool if you don't want to join in on the cupcake dream, but at least wait till you find another. It's a dream, not a man.
