Japanese Man Lost “Waifu” as Gatebox Service Terminated
.
Summary:
Love knows no boundaries, so it is not my place to judge the fact that this Japanese man one-sidedly took the virtual singer Hatsune Miku as his wife on his Gatebox, but he should have known that the day its service expired, so would his lovely, ageless, twin-tailed “waifu”, and all that would remain would be an AI home robot generator of no use. Yet, in any case, they both had nearly two years to create wonderful memories together, and as the popular saying goes, “do not cry because it is over; smile because it happened.”

Language Enhancement:
Place (n.)(資格)
Place 作名詞時絕對不只是解作「地方」,它在原文中應理解為「地位/資格」,外國人通常會說 It is not sb.’s place to do sth.,即廣東話的「唔到某人去做某件事」。
.
Expire (v.)(離世)
原文使用了 expire 兩次,相信第一個 expire 的意思不難,就是「到期」,但同學知否在文學場合它可以與 die 同義?人的壽命一旦「到期」,也就是離世了。
e.g. Look, I’m just your teacher; it’s not my place to tell you how you should lead your life, but my advice would be to always follow your heart and do the right things.
e.g. Giving up her immortality to be with a human, the fairy led a happy life with the one she loved and eventually expired due to old age.
