Full Chinese Text
这是摆在我办公桌上的三件东西。左边是我的生日礼物，是一瓶永生花。玫瑰经过处理，可以保存三到五年，一直这么漂亮。中间是蒙娜丽莎的明信片。这是上个周末我们去卢浮宫的时候，我老公买给我的礼物。右边是一只手工制作的绵羊摆件，是我老公去苏格兰旅游的时候买的。我经常一边工作，一边看看它们，心情会变好。
These are three things on my desk. On the left is my birthday gift, a bottle of preserved flowers. The roses have been treated, so they can be kept for three to five years and stay this beautiful. In the middle is a postcard of the Mona Lisa. This was a gift my husband bought for me last weekend when we went to the Louvre. On the right is a handmade sheep decoration, which my husband bought when he traveled to Scotland. I often look at them while I work, and my mood gets better.
