英語美文-新年的希望與祈禱
基本上是新年前夜，無論是想變得更好還是更糟，你打算參加周三晚上的單身倒計(jì)時(shí)晚會(huì)。你是孤單的，再一次。你因此而哭泣，還是順其自然吧，但是現(xiàn)在你準(zhǔn)備好成為另一個(gè)人想成為的人。
明年如果你想會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)事情，這里有需要下的8條新年決心。
1. “I will meet more people”
“我要遇見更多的人”
Unless you marry the McDelivery guy, Prince Charming isn’t going to appear on
your doorstep. Well, maybe he would if you threw a gigantic dinner party
at home with a lot of singles in attendance, but either way, dating is a
numbers game, so go meet some new guys. (You too, introverts.) You need
to do whatever it takes, even if it means attending a spin class or
joining nature walks from Meetup.com. On that topic…
如果你想嫁給馬岱立夫小伙，迷人的王子不會(huì)主動(dòng)出現(xiàn)在你的門前�；蛟S他會(huì)出現(xiàn)如果你布置了一桌豐盛的晚宴在有許多單身人士的家，但還有一種方式，約會(huì)是一個(gè)
查數(shù)的游戲，因此去見一些新的家伙。(你們，性格內(nèi)向的人)無論花費(fèi)什么，你們都要去做，即使是一次短途旅行或在大自然中的散步。話題是...
2. “I will try unconventional means of dating”
“我會(huì)嘗試不正規(guī)的約會(huì)方式”
We’re talking online dating, speed-dating, Tinder, or straight-up hiring a
professional matchmaker. Look, there’s no shame in meeting someone
through an algorithm. In the grand scheme of things, how you met
constitutes about 1 per cent of an entire relationship. Who cares
whether you met your dream guy through a dating coach, rather than on a
cross-country tour through Europe? Happily ever after isn’t defined by
how a romance begins, but how it ends.
我們?cè)谡務(wù)撛诰�約會(huì)，速度約會(huì)，引火物，或直接雇傭一個(gè)專業(yè)的符合的人�？赐ㄟ^算計(jì)碰見某人沒什么羞恥的。事情在很大程度上，你們?cè)鯓佑鲆娊M成了1%的整個(gè)
的關(guān)系。誰會(huì)關(guān)心是否你遇見你夢(mèng)想的家伙通過一次約會(huì)訓(xùn)練而不是跨越國(guó)家的通往歐洲的旅行?幸福不會(huì)被浪漫怎樣開始定義，而是以怎樣結(jié)束。
3. “I will let my friends intervene for me”
“我會(huì)讓我的朋友干涉我”
Ifyou’re still not convinced, then seek help from your most immediate
resource: your friends. It’s not easy to admit you need help when you’re
so proud of being independent. But these people not only know what you
want, but they know your history and who will be good for you. They’ve
all got brothers, cousins, colleagues, and old friends who are in the
same boat. So let down your defences and accept the possibility that
they’re not just being meddlesome and “kpo”, they actually do want to
see you happy.
如果你仍不自信，然后從最直接的資源尋求幫助：你的朋友們。承認(rèn)你需要幫助不太容易當(dāng)你驕傲于獨(dú)立的時(shí)候。但是這些人不僅知道你想要什么，而且知道你的歷
史，誰會(huì)適合你。他們都有處于同樣境地的兄弟，侄子，同事，和老朋友。因此放下你的防備，接受他們不是愛管閑事的人的可能性，他們實(shí)際上是想讓你高興。
4. “I will be open”
“我會(huì)變得開放”
One of the easiest ways to stay single is to enforce shallow dealbreakers.
Obviously, you should uphold some standards – like, don’t date a drug
dealer – but ladies, would you be open to dating someone who is three
years younger than you? How about someone whose idea of classical music
is a Kenny G cover band? Or how about someone whose sense of style is
stuck in the ‘90s? None of these traits are attractive, but they’re all
superficial. If he’s a good person – loyal, happy, unselfish, willing to
change – then know that he’s a diamond amidst a host of “cool” guys
with mediocre hearts. It’s a lot easier for someone to change his
wardrobe than it is for him to change his character.
最簡(jiǎn)單的保持單身的方式之一是保持淺顯的規(guī)則。很明顯，你應(yīng)該擁有一些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)-例如，不和吸毒者約會(huì)-但女士，你和小你三歲的人約會(huì)持開放態(tài)度么?如果有人認(rèn)
為古典音樂即是Kenny G
cover樂隊(duì)會(huì)怎么樣?或者有人的擇偶標(biāo)準(zhǔn)僅僅是90后?這些特點(diǎn)都不吸引人，但他們都是表面意義的。如果他是一個(gè)好人——忠誠(chéng)，幸福，無私，想要改變
-然后知道他是冷家伙中擁有一顆平常心的鉆石。對(duì)于某人來說改變性格比改變衣櫥更簡(jiǎn)單。
5. “I will stop procrastinating”
“我會(huì)停止拖延”
There will always be a reason for you to avoid love. You want to change jobs
before getting into a relationship. You want to settle your finances
before getting serious. You want to lose a few kilograms before seeing
what’s out there. At the risk of sounding cliché, life is a journey. You
can feel like you’re in a good place without having things 100 per cent
settled. Maybe it’s time to start trusting that the person you meet
will love you anyway.
總會(huì)有原因使你停止愛。你想換工作在進(jìn)入一段關(guān)系前。你想解決賬單在認(rèn)真之前。你想減肥在看出那里發(fā)生了什么之前。冒著聽起來像是陳詞濫調(diào)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，生活是一場(chǎng)旅行。你能感到你狀態(tài)很好事情百分百?zèng)]有被解決�；蛟S該是時(shí)候相信你遇見的人會(huì)以任何一種方式愛你。
6. “I will stop judging people who settled down before I did”
“我會(huì)停止判斷人在我坐下來之前”
“One day, she’s going to regret getting married so young.”
“Who marries their secondary school boyfriend??”
“I would never want to be that co-dependent.”
“I can’t believe she lets him carry her bag.”
“Did you know that she cooks her boyfriend dinner every weekend ? I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that.”
“有一天，她會(huì)后悔結(jié)婚這么早”
“誰嫁給了她們初中時(shí)代的男友?”
“我不想再依賴了。”
“我不能相信她讓他拿包。”
“你知道嗎她給她的男友每周末做飯?我很高興我不用。”
These statements might be 100 per cent legitimate, but being so harsh toward
other couples makes it difficult for people to get close to you.
這些話可能百分之百的合法，但是對(duì)其他人這么刻薄很難使人接近你。
7. “I will be secure”
“我有安全感”
You’re not missing out by being single. You’re not behind in life just because
you’re unmarried and childless. You’ll meet your person, it just hasn’t
happened for you yet. And that’s fine. Yes, you go on dates and meet
new people, but whether you’re spending Friday night on the town or home
alone with a bucket of popcorn, you’re secure knowing that singleness
isn’t a necessary evil , it is your life, and one day, you will be able
to share everything you learned from this season with another person.
你是單身的但是并沒有被漏掉。生活中你沒有被拉下，因?yàn)槟阄椿楹⒆託�。你�?huì)遇到你的伴侶只是還未發(fā)生。那很好。是的，你繼續(xù)約會(huì)遇見新人，但是是否你花費(fèi)周
五的晚上在小鎮(zhèn)上或獨(dú)自在家里嚼著爆米花，你是安全的了解單身并不是一種罪惡，它是你的生活，有一天，你能夠和另一個(gè)人分享這個(gè)季節(jié)你學(xué)到的東西。
8. “I will never stop hoping”
“我永不停止希望”
After a certain point (say, a certain age), it’s easy to get jaded and
conclude that love just ain’t for you. You’re better off alone,
relationships are more trouble than they’re worth, and anyway, who needs
someone else? You’re completely self-sufficient. You can carry your own
groceries, buy your own house, and find your own happiness without
seeking validation from someone else. And anyway, isn’t love just our
brain’s reaction to a flood of dopamine?
在某一個(gè)確定點(diǎn)之后(確定的年齡)，很容易總結(jié)愛不屬于你。你最好單身，關(guān)系更加復(fù)雜，不管怎樣，誰需要另一個(gè)人呢?你完全的自給自足。你能那你自己的貨物，給你自己買房子，尋找你自己的幸福無需他人的認(rèn)可。無論如何，愛只是你的大腦對(duì)多巴胺的反應(yīng)么?
