7. You don't care what he sees anymore when you're without makeup and/or fresh from slumber.

　　你不再在乎他看到你素颜和/或刚睡醒的样子。

　　You're past those days when you thought that you always have to put your 'best face' forward. You'vebecome comfortable with being all natural. You've seen your beauty without makeup in his eyes.

　　你们已经过了你总想着要展现自己美貌的时候，你表现出自然的一面也觉着很舒服，你已经在他眼中看到了自己素颜的美。

　　8. You don't support him in all his rants and complaints about the world.

　　你不会支持他的吹嘘和对世界的抱怨。

　　When he needs a good sermon, it's you he hears it from. If he's wrong, you tell him. There's no sugarcoating when you think he needs a slap of reality. You don't condone his wrong acts, you correct him. You don't feed him with false "it's okay"s.

　　当他需要启示时，他要从你这儿听到。如果他错了，你要告诉他，你认为他需要面对现实时你不必花言巧语。你不会宽恕他的错误，你要纠正他。你不会虚伪地说“没关系”来满足他。

　　9. You don't act like a curfew officer anymore.

　　你不会再表现得像宵禁官。

　　You know he's going to have to make some time for his friends and you know he's going to have to stay some nights out. You know him well to be sure that he's going to go home when he thinks it's time. And you respect his judgment of "it's time".

　　你知道他要留一些时间给朋友，知道他有时晚上要出去，你也很懂他，确信他知道什么时间该回家。你尊重他对“回家时间”的判断。

　　10. You talk about the specifics of the future...

　　你们细致地探讨未来…

　　...10 years, 20 years from now. You share dreams of tomorrow. You see him in the big scenes of what lies ahead. You see him as your partner in accomplishing these dreams.

　　……10年或20年以后。你们分享对未来的憧憬，你在未来的画面上能看到他的身影，你把他看成你实现这些梦想的伴侣。

　　11. No buts, no ifs. He is your ally.

　　没有“但是”，没有“如果”，你们是同盟。

　　Whatever, whenever, wherever. It's always going to be you and him against the world. You can take on whatever life throws at you because you know he will always be somewhere there -- either holding your hand before that big jump or just an inch behind you as you take that most dangerous step that you have to take by yourself. But you're never really alone in the most literal sense; you will always have a sidekick.

　　无论何事、无论何时、无论何地，永远都是你和他一起面对这个世界。你能承担起生活赐予你的一切，因为你知道他会永远在那儿——无论是纵身一跃之前握住你的手，还是当你不得不独自迈出危险一步时就站在你身后。你永远不会真正孤单;永远有人陪你同行。

　　12. You value his thoughts. He values yours.

　　你看重他的想法，他也重视你的想法。

　　He has a say on the major changes in your life so as he does to those in yours. His opinion is taken in earnest because you know he's one of the few people in the world who would sincerely and selflessly want the best for you. He would give it to you straight and simple. Sometimes, his thoughts would open you up to new wavelengths of thinking, make you affirm those thoughts that you already hold or make you totally say no to some that you haven't been sure about.

　　对你生活中的重大改变他都有发言权，因为他参与了你的生活。你会认真考虑他的想法，因为你知道他是世界上仅有的几个真心实意而且无私地想要你过得好的人之一。他会直接简单地给出他的看法。有时他的想法会让你眼前一亮，给你带来新的想法，使你能肯定之前的想法或彻底否定你不确定的想法。

　　13. You don't really see or consider him as a boyfriend anymore.

　　你其实不再把他看作男朋友了。

　　He has become more like a brother? Err. No. He's more like a brother and lover combined. He's somewhere between those two. Not a brother, no longer a boyfriend, not yet a husband. LIFE MATE? That's more like it.

　　他变得更像一个兄弟?不对，他更像是兄弟和爱人的结合，有时介于两者之间。不是兄弟，不再是男朋友，但也还不是丈夫。那是生活伴侣?这个更贴切吧。
