7月12日故事:单身的五种幸福

Learn to appreciate your single status. Here are five things that singles sometimes take for granted.
本帖隐藏的内容需要回复才可以浏览

Step 1: Sleep  睡觉
Sleep is a beautiful thing. When you're single, no one's nagging at you to get up or counting the hours that you've spent in bed. You are left in peace with your box fan and body pillow. Sleep all day guilt-free!

Step 2: Money  钱
When you're single, there's no joint account. You can do whatever you want with your money. There's none of that "what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours" foolishness. No household budget. Go ahead and buy that hideous, life-size statue of Wayne Newton. Put it in the middle of the living room. No one is the boss of you!

Step 3: Career  工作
Work all night, all weekend if you want to. Then socialize with the boss until 2:00AM or later. Your married co-workers can't compete. They've got "commitments". You win by default! And when that headhunter calls, there's no one holding you back. Pack up and move wherever the fattest paycheck is waiting.

Step 4: Rejection  拒绝
When you're single, rejection is your friend. If you're on a bad date, make up some excuse and get the heck out of there. You don't have to ever see her again.

Step 5: Amuse Yourself  自娱自乐
Host a poker tournament complete with back up dancers. See how much laundry you can fit into the washer. Create a new dish out of the few things you have left in the cupboard and eat it in the middle of the night. Become a pro at belching the alphabet. The possibilities are endless.

    翻译的很好,指出几处我觉得有点问题的地方:第一句的“take for granted”是理所当然的意思,但是在文中的语境中结合作者的立场应该译为类似“值得骄傲或自豪”;第二句“count for”要是直译为“数”好像有点怪异吧,所以这里可能译为“责怪”的意思更好。继续加油罗。

学会欣赏你的单身。这里有五个东西,对单身汉是理所当然的。

睡觉是一件美妙的事情。当你单身时,没有人会催促你起床或数你躺在床上的时间。你可以静静的吹着风扇和抱着枕头。睡一整天也不会有负罪感。
