注释：

1 go wrong：
go wrong的意思是“走入歧途，出毛病，失败”。人非圣贤，孰能无过。犯错误总是难免的，不过如果能有过来人给你指点建议的话就会少走很多弯路。She told me how she first went wrong. 她告诉我她当初是如何失足的。

2 as long as：
也可以说so long as，意思是“只要”。

4 monogrammed：monogram指的是“花押字”，这个名词可能有点陌生，不过我们也知道有些人喜欢在信笺上印刻或在手巾上缝制一些字母组成的图案，通常都是由姓名的第一个字母组合而成，这样大概会显得很有个人风格，所以才会受到个性十足的狮子座人的喜爱吧。
