The Meaning of Love in 26 Letters

C--Care（关心）
关心的程度正好表现你对她的重视程度，间或打个电话给她关心地问候一句："工作辛苦吗？"又或者发短信给她："天气凉了，别忘了加衣"。这些关心未必有实际用途，但起码能令对方暖在心头。如果还有情书，当然更好。
The degree of your care can show how much you treasure her. Now and then, you should call her and ask whether her work is hard, or send her a short message and remind her of putting on more clothes when the weather gets cool. These cares are of no actual use, but at least they can warm her heart. Of course, love letters will have better effect.
D--Digest（理解）
我们不是圣人，总有情绪起伏的时候，若对方是"凸"的时候，你何不做"凹"去忍耐一下她，安慰一下她呢。
