Lesson 76 Looking for the Prefect Man 尋找完美的男人

“I want someone who has diverse interests,” stated Sally. “I don’t really care about intelligence, or whether he’s able to recite doctrines of any kind. I think diversity is the key to an interesting relationship.”

“我要找一個興趣廣泛的人,”莎莉說,“我并不真的在乎他是否聰明或是否會背誦什么教義之類。我想興趣的多樣性是保持良好關系的關鍵。”

“That makes sense,” said Mary. “However, I’m more interested in whether he has diversified his investments. I draw a diving line between poor men and rich men. A wealthy man with a diversified investment portfolio satisfies my need for financial security.”

“這很有道理。”瑪麗說,“但是我更感興趣的是他是否把他的投資多樣化了。我在窮人和富人之間劃了一道分界線。一個擁有多元化證券投資組合的富有男人使我擁有金融安全感。”

“Be sure that he shows you the documentation for his investments,” said Jane with a laugh. “And make certain that he divides the investments with you in advance so that he can’t divest you when you divorce him! If you ask what I want, I would love to have a super hero. He has to be brave enough to challenge political and religious dogma. He also must be fast enough to dodge a speeding car, strong enough to divert a flowing river, yet docile enough for me to control. ”

“一定得讓他給你看他的投資文件,”簡說著大笑起來。“一定要他事先把投資的財產(chǎn)在你們之間分割清楚,這樣,與他離婚時,他就不能剝奪你那份了。你問我找一個什么樣的?我想找一個超級英雄。他必須很勇敢,敢于像政治和宗教的教條提出挑戰(zhàn);還必須動作迅速,可以躲開飛馳而來的汽車;而且身體健壯,可以讓河水轉(zhuǎn)向。然而,他還必須溫順的由我來駕馭。”

“You want a man who is strong enough to cause the diversion of a river?” asked Susan with a giggle. “I suppose that’s possible. I think it has been documented once by a TV documentary, but I think the guy was using a bulldozer. As for me, I’d be happy if he was strong enough not to get dizzy on a merry-go-round. Actually, I want someone with dogged honesty who is willing to divulge his deepest secrets. Communications is the solution to most relationship problems. I don’t like dogmatic people who expect you to accept everything they say without explanation”

“你想找一個能讓河水轉(zhuǎn)向的男人?”蘇珊一邊說,一邊咯咯地笑,“我想那也有可能。我記得一個電視紀錄片曾拍攝下這樣的場面,但我想那個家伙用了推土機。至于我,如果他身體健壯得在旋轉(zhuǎn)木馬上不眩暈,我就很滿足了。事實上,我想找的人,要篤信誠實,愿意向我吐露他內(nèi)心深處的秘密。交流能解決兩人關系中的大多數(shù)問題。我不喜歡唯教條是從的人,他們希望你無需辯解地接受他們所說的一切。”

“Well, aren’t we lucky?” asked Sally. “We don’t have to complete! We are all chasing after a different kind of man!”

“噢,我們多幸運啊!”莎莉說,“我們不必競爭,我們都在追求不同類型的男人!”
