帆布上的“天使”
在我的小书房里，画笔和颜料散落在我周围。
我在纸上用蓝色颜料涂上第一层，记得我的老师把这称为“底色”。我闭上眼睛，试着去想象我要画的东西。但是，我所能看到的只有巨大的黑洞，令人压抑的重重乌云如漩涡翻涌，仿佛要将我吞噬。我脑子里满是愤怒、恐惧、惊慌。
我十一年的婚姻破裂了。我们的财务状况，我发现，也是一团糟。我必须在几天内搬离这所房子--这个我一直想要为我的丈夫和孩子营造一个“家”的地方。我目所能及的每处地方都会让我回想起挫败，回想起那些没有按照我的计划去实现的美梦。
我的生活就像这幅画一样，我心想。在一张纸上，只有那么不像样的几笔。我凝视着它，试着去想象一幅场景，某个遥远的地方，以及一些抚慰人心的事，只是，这样做毫无用处。
我当了一辈子的演员，绘画对我而言却是一种新体验。之前有一位艺术家主动要教我水彩画基础知识，我只上了两堂一小时的课程。我很乐意让他教我，一心想着要找些东西让自己的思想从法庭文件及财务文件中抽离出来。
“想象一下你将要画的事物的细节，”我的导师说道，“看看它们的形状及颜色，所有的白色及深色。有些时候，你看不到的东西才是最重要的。”

One Centigrade Degree's Love
In a cold winter，a couple had to move out from the luxury villa because of bankruptcy.The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife.So she thought，"he doesn't love me any more，he just cares his business...not me".

Now I can't give her comfortable life，bring her to the luxury restaurant，buy expensive dresses for her，but at least，I can give her the "1℃"love.

一摄氏度的爱情
一个寒冷的冬天，一对夫妇因为破产，不得不从豪宅里搬出。丈夫日夜辛勤工作以维持家庭开支，但没有时间关心妻子。于是，妻子暗自想道：“他不再爱我了，他只在乎他的个人事务，而不是我。”
一天，妻子准备去洗澡，可丈夫在门口叫住了她，“让我先洗吧，好么？”“为什么不让我先洗呢？”“因为我很累，宝贝，你等下再洗吧，好么？”妻子对此情绪非常低落。
一天，妻子无所事事，郁郁寡欢，于是她启动了丈夫的电脑。上面的几行字让她泪眼朦胧，她看到的是他的日记：今天，我很悲伤，因为她问我，为什么总是我先洗澡，而我对她说，因为我太累了，想先洗。她心里不高兴，觉得我对她不像从前那么好了。但是我该怎么做呢？我不像以前那么富有！我们搬到了一个小公寓，只有一个沐浴间，在如此寒冷的冬天洗澡真是冻死人了。但我发现，如果一个人先洗沐浴的话，浴室内就会暖和一些，所以每次我都第一个抢着去浴室。我想，等她进去浴室时，至少暖和一两度吧。
现在，我不能给她舒适的生活，带她去高级餐厅，给她买漂亮的衣服，但至少我还能给她一摄氏度的爱情。
