小贴士
forget-me-not
forget-me-not 又被称为don't-forget-me是一种生长在水边的蓝色小花“勿忘我”。在英国、德国、意大利各地，都有许多散文和诗词以forget-me-not来描述相思与痴情。人们认为只要将forget-me-not带在身上，恋人就会永远将自己铭记于心、永世不忘。在这蓝色小花的背后，还有个流传于欧美民间的浪漫爱情故事呢！“勿忘我”这种花的名字来自一个悲剧性的恋爱故事。传说，一位德国骑士和他的恋人在多瑙河畔散步时看到了河畔绽放着蓝色的不知道名字的小花，骑士不顾生命危险探身摘花，却失足掉入急流中。自知无法获救的骑士举起了花，微笑着对她说：勿忘我。在今天，勿忘我的花语是：永恒的爱，浓情厚谊，永不变的心。
i think “forget-me-not” is the best gift for sarah when i meet her next time.
我认为下次和莎拉见面时给她送“勿忘我”是再好不过的礼物了。

小贴士
给失恋的人：
1. love is a lamp, while friendship is the shadow. when the lamp is off, you will find the shadow around you. friend is who can give you strength at last.
爱情是灯，友情是影子，当灯灭了，你会发现你的周围都是影子。朋友，是在最后可以给你力量的人。
2. love makes man grow up or sink down. which one do you choose if you are unlucky in love?
爱情，要么让人成熟，要么让人堕落。如果你失恋了你会怎么做？
3. don't forget the things once you owned. treasure the things you can't get. don't give up the things that belong to you and keep those lost things in memory.
曾经拥有的，不要忘记。不能得到的，更要珍惜。属于自己的，不要放弃。已经失去的，留作回忆。
4. the number of activities you can now commit to without the time constraints of a relationship are endless. try finding a new hobby, such as travelling, surfing or taking hip-hop dance classes.
没有了爱情，你的时间一下子自由了很多，你可以做很多你原来没有时间去做的事。找一个新的爱好，比如旅游、冲浪或者学跳街舞。
嫁给我好吗
