The Farewell

别告诉她

(bié ɡàosù tā)

1. It's a good lie. Most families in China would not tell her.

这是个善意的谎言。换成大多数中国家庭,都不会告诉她。

(zhèshì ɡè shànyì de huǎnɡyán. huànchénɡ dàduōshù zhōnɡɡuó jiātínɡ, dōu búhuì ɡàosù tā.)

2. Life is not just about what you do. It's more about how you do it.

生活里重要的不只是你做什么。更重要的是你如何做。

(shēnɡhuó lǐ zhònɡyào de bùzhīshì nǐ zuòshíme. ɡènɡ zhònɡyào de shì nǐ rúhé zuò.)

3. The wedding is an excuse so everyone can see her.

婚礼无非是个借口,让大家见见她。

(hūnlǐ wúfēi shìɡè jièkǒu, rànɡ dàjiā jiànjiàn tā.)

4. It's been too long since we've all been together like this. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. 

我们很久没有这样聚在一起了。我期待这一天太久了。

(wǒmén hěnjiǔ méiyǒu zhèyànɡ jù zài yīqǐ le. wǒ qīdài zhèyītiān tàijiǔ le.)

5. What if she wants to say goodbye?

如果她想告别呢？ 

(rúɡuǒ tāxiǎnɡ ɡàobié ne?)
