《English Translation》

优子: Teacher Liu, I saw a news story about a woman who, after her divorce, fell for a male streamer online. She gave him a lot of money, but in the end he blocked her. Does this happen often in China?
刘娜: Yes, Yuko, this kind of thing is quite common now. Many streamers online say sweet things to attract people, but their real purpose is just to make money.
优子: I’ve seen similar stories too, even in TV dramas. But why do people still believe in such feelings in real life?
刘娜: Because when people feel lonely, it’s easy to believe in sweet words. In China we have an old poem: 'Those involved are confused, while onlookers see clearly.' It means that when you’re in love, it’s hard to see the truth.
优子: Mm, that’s a wonderful saying! It seems TV dramas can also teach us many lessons. I should be more careful and not easily trust people I meet online.
刘娜: Exactly, Yuko. We must remember that true love cannot be bought with money. Only genuine care for each other can bring real happiness.
