A rich man lives in his enormous villa（别墅）, enjoying the extremely luxurious life. Every day there are some strangers who take away a couple of boxes from his home. The rich man decided to follow them and came to a mysterious valley.

一个有钱人住在大别墅里，过着奢华无度的生活。 每天都有些陌生人从他家偷走几个匣子。有钱人决定跟踪他们，来到一个神秘山谷。

Seeing they were about to throw the three boxes in the abyss（深渊）, he demanded with surprise, “Please tell me what's in them.” The strangers answered indifferently（冷漠地）, “They are the feelings that you have abandoned.”

见到这些人正要把三个匣子扔进深渊里，他惊讶地请求：“请告诉我里面装的都是些什么。” 这些陌生人一脸冷淡，说：“都是些你扔掉不要的感受。”

“No, it's impossible!” the rich man disbelieved them and opened them. In the first box there was his beloved one walking alone slowly along the beach at night. His close friend was in the second box. After bankruptcy, he was longing for help and consolation from the rich man.

“不，这不可能！”有钱人不信，于是打开了匣子。 从第一个匣子里他看到爱人独自在夜晚沿着海滩慢慢散着步。 从第二个匣子里他看到了朋友生意破产，向他求助，需要安慰。

His parents were seen in the third box. They have prepared a table of delicious food for dinner, waiting for him to reunion（团聚）. Seeing them, he felt that his heart was lashed（冲击） by a burning whip（鞭子） full of misery and guilt.

从第三个匣子里他看到父母准备了一桌子美味，就等他回家团圆。 有钱人看到这些，觉得自己的心像被鞭子抽打了似的，火辣辣的，充满痛苦和内疚。

He begged the strangers, “Please give them back to me. I have a lot of money. You can take as much as you want!” However, the strangers told him with a serious look, “It's too late to take them back.

他请求陌生人说：“求你们把这些匣子还给我。我有的是钱，你们想要多少都可以！” 然而，陌生人一脸严肃地告诉他：“现在想拿回去太晚了。

The woman you loved never showed up again at charming night; your friend, having endured the long daytime, finally made out the stars with different distance; your parents bought a dog and found love and warmness from it.”

你爱的女人再也没有在美妙的夜晚出现过；你的朋友熬过了漫长的劫难，从新的角度理解了人生；你父母买了条狗，找到了爱和温暖。”

After finishing their words, they threw the three boxes down to the abyss and disappeared. With a lonely look, the rich man stood there still, gazing at the hollow of the valley in front of them...

说完，他们就把三个匣子扔下深渊，消失不见 了。 有钱人站在原地，盯着眼前空荡的山谷，一脸落寞。
