Guan:Have you given up all the things in human world?
Zhi:Yes! Life and death is just minor! But I don't understand why humans' hatred can last 10 years, 50 years, and even 500 years! What hatred on earth is it?

Guan:I want to warn you one more time. After wearing the gold ring, you're not a normal human any longer. You can't have human desires any more. If you do so, the gold ring will become smaller and smaller. It's very uncomfortable and painful, which you can't stand.
Zhi:I know that.
Guan:Before wearing the ring, what do you want to say?
Zhi:I had met my love, but I didn't cherish her. When I lost her, I regretted. It's the most painful thing in the world.If I was given another chance, I would say three words to her—I love you! If there had to be a time limit, I hope it would be ten thousand years.

参考范文:The Tortoise and the Hare
Narrator:Good morning, everyone. Now, I will tell you a story about Mr Tortoise and Miss Hare. In a very big forest live a Hare, an honest Tortoise and many other animals. Miss Hare is very proud of her long legs and thinks little of Mr Tortoise. Today, near the river, an interesting thing is happening.
Hare: (approaching the Tortoise) Hi! Mr Tortoise. What are you doing?
Tortoise:Hi! Miss Hare. I am walking.
Hare:Why not put four wheels on your feet? You will run much faster than now.
Tortoise:No, I can run with my feet step by step.
Hare:(amazed) Can what? Can run? Are you kidding? I can run much faster than you.
Tortoise:Miss Hare, you are too proud. Let's have a race. I am convinced I can win the match.
Hare:(laughing) Ha! Ha! OK! Look at the tall tree. Let's see who can get there first.
Tortoise:OK !
Narrator:A monkey volunteers to act as the judge and the race begins.
Monkey:Ready? Go!
Narrator:Miss Hare runs very fast while Mr Tortoise runs very slowly. A moment later, Miss Hare arrives at a small tree.
Hare:(saying to herself) Where is Mr Tortoise? Oh, he is very far behind me. Let me have a good rest.
Narrator:Miss Hare wants to have a rest, but after an instant, she falls asleep.
Tortoise:(saying to herself) Though tired, I cannot give up. I must insist. Oh, it is Miss Hare. She is sleeping now, so I must run faster at her sleeping time.
Narrator:Miss Hare is sleeping while Mr Tortoise is running much faster now. Eventually, Mr Tortoise arrives near the tree.
Hare:(waking up)I'm feeling good. Ah? Mr Tortoise? Oh, no! Let me catch up with him.
Narrator:But, it is too late. And Mr Tortoise wins the race.
