A man and his girlfriend were getting married. It was a large celebration.
一位男士和他的女朋友结婚了。那是一场盛大的结婚典礼。
The bride was gorgeous（美丽动人） in her white wedding gown（婚纱） and the groom（新郎） was very dashing（潇洒） in his black suit.
新娘身穿白色婚纱，美丽动人；新郎身穿黑色礼服，英俊潇洒。
Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
在场的每个人都看得出来他们是彼此的真爱。
A few months later, the wife came to her husband with a proposal:
几个月后，妻子向丈夫提出一个建议。
"I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered.
“我刚才在一本杂志中读到巩固我们的婚姻的方法，” 她说，
"Each of us will write a list of everything we find a bit annoying about the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can change these annoying things and make our life together happier."
“我们每个人都列出对对方感到不满的地方。然后可以一起讨论如何改变这些恼人的事情，从而让我们的生活更幸福。”
The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.
丈夫同意了，所以他们各自待在不同的房间，思考对方让自己不满的地方。
They thought about these things all day long and wrote down what they came up with.
他们整整一天都在思考这些事，然后把他们想到的记了下来。
The next morning, they went over（检查） their lists.
第二天早上，他们再次查看了一下自己的清单。
"I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, in fact, enough to fill 3 pages.
“我先来。” 妻子主动提出。她拿出了自己的清单。上面列出了很多项，实际上，有足足三页纸的内容。
As she started reading the list to her husband, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
她对着丈夫读她的清单的时候，注意到丈夫眼里蓄满泪水。
"What's wrong?" she asked.
“怎么了？” 她问。
"Nothing, keep reading your list." He replied. The wife continued reading until she had read all three pages.
“没事，你继续读吧。” 他回答道。妻子接着读了下去，直到读完三页纸。
She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands on top of it.
她把她的清单平整地放在桌上，然后双手交叠着放在清单上。
"Now, you read your list and then we can talk about everything on our lists." She said happily.
“现在，你读读你的清单，然后我们就可以好好讨论清单上的内容了。” 她开心地说。
Quietly the husband stated: "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to change anything about you."
丈夫平静地陈述道：“我的清单上什么也没写。我觉得你现在就很完美。你很可爱很出色，我不想你做出任何改变。”
The wife, touched by his honesty, the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
妻子被他的诚实、对她的深爱和接纳所感动，扭过头哭了。
In life, we don't really have to look for things that are disappointing, depressing and annoying. These things will always be there.
在生活中，我们不必真的去寻找那些令人失望、沮丧和恼恨的事。总是会有那样的事。
Nothing is perfect. However, we can find perfectness in everything by changing the way we see things.
没有什么是完美的。但是我们可以通过改变看待事物的方式来发现所有事情的完美之处。
