小编想说，其实单身没什么好怕的，反而应当趁着年轻，好好享受这段珍贵的时光。 不信，看看我们熟识的那些明星和作家们是怎么说的。 ▼ My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude. 我一个人感觉很不错，只有你的陪伴比我的独处更甜蜜，我才会需要你。 - 沃森·赛尔（Warsan Shire）- ▼ Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that. 很多女人因为害怕单身而逼自己恋爱，然后就开始妥协，失去个性。我是不会那样做的。 - 朱丽·德尔比（Julie Delpy）- ▼ Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with. 以前，单身说明你没人要。现在，单身说明你很性感，说明你正从容不迫地挑选自己想要的生活方式，挑选你想要与之一起生活的人。 - 《欲望都市》（Sex and the City）- ▼ Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life. 不要幻想你的真命天子会来填补你的空缺、接管你的生活。真正的单身需要克服这种错觉。 - 奥姆卡尔·帕塔科（Omkar Phatakc）- ▼ If you have to ask someone to change, to tell you they love you, to bring wine to dinner, to call you when they land, you can't afford to be with them. 如果一个人要在你的要求下才会改变、才会说爱你、才会在吃晚饭时带酒、才会在飞机降落后给你打电话，那你们之间的关系是你无法承受的。 - 斯劳恩·克罗斯利（Sloane Crosley）- ▼ When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings. 这些天以来，我孤独的时候会想：孤独就孤独吧，利兹。摸清孤独周围的路，做一张地图，好好跟孤独相处吧，这可是你从来没试过的。欢迎前来体验人生。不要再用别人的身体或感情来填补自己内心的空虚了。 - 伊利莎白·吉尔伯特（Elizabeth Gilbert）- ▼ How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. 一个女人期望着男人给她建造她理想中的世界，而不是自己亲手创造，这真是大错特错。 - 阿娜伊斯·宁（Anais Nin）- ▼ It seemed to me that the desire to get married – which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women – is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge – which is to be single again. 在我看来，结婚的渴望是存在于女人最根本的思想当中的，这真是令我深感抱歉，而且这种渴望几乎马上会被一种同样根本的诉求，也就是重新单身，所取代。 - 诺拉·埃夫龙（Nora Ephron）- ▼ It is good to be lonely, for being alone is not easy. The fact that something is difficult must be one more reason to do it. 孤独是好事，因为孤身一人并不容易。一件事很困难也是去做这件事的理由。 - 里尔克（Rilke）- ▼ I celebrate myself, and sing myself. 我为自己欢庆，为自己歌唱。 - 沃尔特·惠特曼（Walt Whitman）- ▼ I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to. 我喜欢单身。我想来就来想走就走，想多晚回家就多晚回家。 - 埃里克·迪克森（Eric Dickerson）- ▼ You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose. 你不需要别人的爱，至少不是以牺牲自我为代价。单身关系就是与自我相处，是生活中真正重要的关系。在你一生认识的人中，唯一永远不会失去的就是你自己。 - 乔·库尔德（Jo Courdert）- ▼ If we seek paradise outside ourselves, we cannot have paradise in our hearts. 如果我们在自我之外寻找乐土，那我们的内心就不会拥有乐土。 - 托马斯·默顿（Thomas Merton）- ▼ I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved. 重回单身真的让我很享受。我在一段感情中花了很多时间，越临近结束，这段感情就越艰难。旁观者清，当局者迷啊。 - 蒂朵·阿姆斯特朗（Dido Armstrong）- ▼ I think, therefore I'm single. 我思，故我单身。 - 莉兹.温斯特（Liz Winston）- ▼ No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another's happiness. 没有人可以真正地理解他人，没有人可以安排他人的幸福。 - 格雷厄姆·格林（Graham Greene）- ▼ To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls. 盲目的爱是自私的，因为这种爱不是出于为对方着想，而仅仅只是自我灵魂所做的爱情练习。 - 托马斯·默顿（Thomas Merton）- ▼ I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. 我从没找到过比“独处”更好相处的伴侣。 - 亨利·戴维·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau）- ▼ Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go. 有的人认为坚持会让我们变得更强大，但有时候放手才会让我们变得更强大。 - 赫尔曼·黑塞（Hermann Hesse）- ▼ I like being single, I'm always there when I need me. 我喜欢单身，在我需要的时候我总会在自己身边。 - 阿尔特·雷欧（Art Leo）- ▼ Discover why you're important, then refuse to settle for anyone who doesn't completely agree. 寻找自己重要的理由，然后拒绝和不能完全同意的人在一起。 - 费希尔·艾米丽（Fisher Amelie）- ▼ I don't like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone. 我不想只是因为我是独自一人就被贴上孤独的标签。 - 德尔塔·伯克（Delta Burke）- ▼ This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something. 心碎是个好兆头，说明我们曾经尝试过。 - 伊利莎白·吉尔伯特（Elizabeth Gilbert）- ▼ I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself. 我没有爱人，但我拥有爱。我可爱、孤独，我就属于我自己。 - 沃森·赛尔（Warsan Shire）- 来源：沪江英语 编辑：丁一 |
