Gee! Please help me! I’m a second-year senior high student. A few days ago, a third year guy threatened me and asked me to stay away from his girlfriend. But all I did was chat with his chick on the phone and praise  her beauty a week before that. How could my compliment be taken  as cheating her boyfriend? I didn’t mean anything.

Cheer up, bro! What bothers you more, threats from that  guy or the chick’s misunderstanding? Honestly, if the thing between you and the girl is “something  you both know without talking about,” you shouldn’t be complaining             about this guy’s apparently hormone-driven verbal threats. On the other hand, appreciation for God’s artistic work     requires style and taste. Being a fundamental artist and praising beauty  is far from doing wrong. There are those who consider the only way  to enjoy beauty is to “take a bite.”  They will never develop the  appreciation you have.

Try to explain this to macho guy. If he’s not a total pea-brain,  your troubles should be over. Keep this in mind, if we “take a bite” of all the beautiful things on earth, there will be nothing left to thirst after and all those delectable              morsels will lose their flavor.

                                                                                                                                             Preserve the beauty, Vic

老兄！打起精神來！那件事比較困擾你？是那個傢伙的威脅還是那個小馬子的誤解？說正格的，如果你和那個女孩之間的情形是屬於「盡在不言中」的話，你就不該抱怨這個傢伙顯然是受到賀爾蒙驅使所發出的口頭威脅。 但另一方面，對上帝藝術作品的鑑賞力需要一點品味和格調。身為一個天生的藝術家讚賞美麗事物一點也沒有錯。有些人認為享受美麗事物唯一的方式就是要「嚐一口」。他們永遠都無法培養出你所擁有的鑑賞力。試著把這點解釋給那位壯男聽，如果他不是完全沒大腦的話，你的麻煩應該就解決了。記住這點，如果地球上所有美麗的事物我們都要「嚐 一口」的話，地球上將不再有其他讓我們渴望追求的事物，所有美味的事物也將失去原有的味道。
