“Great!” the diplomat had no intention of flattering, “When you spoke, it was like the tinkling spring or the melodious music; though you spoke so much, it was not unnecessary; when you were silent, you were like a fragrant lotus or an elegant crane; though quiet, it involved everything...Sweetheart, can you tell me how you cultivate yourself?”

“棒极了！”外交官毫无吹捧之意，“你说话时，像叮咚的泉水、悠扬的乐曲，虽千言而不繁；你静处时，似浮香的荷、优雅的鹤，虽静音而传千言......亲爱的，能告诉我你是怎样修炼的吗？”
