17、One had ever said“If you like a flower,you will pick it;If you love a flower,you will water it”.So love is selfless and guardian.In this book,although Fermina has married and her life is happy,Florentino still waited for her for 53years 7 months and 11 days.What a great love!I still remember once Fe
18、rmina Daza has said,“a century ago,life screwed that poor man because we were too young,and now they want to do the same thing because we are too old.”It is so painful and ironic.But after she realized that,she became open-minded and brave enough to receive his love.When faced with true love,the dea

20、over concern about everything,we may die nothing.Not anyone is so stillness,faithful and patient as Florentino Ariza does.So if we dont grasp every chance to love,it may be gone forever.I hope we wont live regretting for what we should have done and try to be brave as these two characters do.这些，都是你给我的爱这些，都是你给我的爱 安东尼安东尼A Tale of Two Cities（双城记）（双城记）Charles DickensCharles DickensThe Catcher The Catcher in the Ryein the Rye(麦田里的守望者麦田里的守望者)Jerome David SalingerJerome David Salinger活着活着 余华余华
