Romantic
love
is
one
of
the
most
enticing
topics
around.
Just
about
every movie, TV show, and country-music song contains some element of
romance. For many, romantic relationships are by far the most important in
their lives.
浪漫的爱情是最迷人的一个话题。几乎所有的电影，电视节目，音乐
和乡村音乐歌曲包含一些爱 情元素。对许多人来说，浪漫关系是迄今
为止在他们的生活中最重要的。






As a society, we long for intimacy. We grow up believing that if we

by
modern
media.
It
is
perhaps
one
of
the
most
destructive
messages
around. Quentin Crisp says:
is to deliberately plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I
would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature ...
作为一个社会，我们长期的亲密。我们相信如果 我们“仅仅满足人的
权利”
，
我们会很高兴的。
这个消息是由现代媒体推广。
这也许是最具
破坏性的消息。
昆廷说：
“脆的大多数人的消费欲望是故意的种 植他们
的整个生活在另一个人的手。我会形容这种方法寻找幸福是不成熟
的……”






When we feel unhappy it is natural to start searching for the cause of
our distress. There is nothing wrong with this, but it becomes a problem
when we start searching outside of ourselves. We are taught that

当我们不开心的时候很自然地开始寻找我们的痛苦的原因。
这没有错，
但它 成为一个问题，当我们开始搜索以外的自己。我们都知道

if we are happily
to blame our partner for our
are enormously self-destructive.
如果我们是快乐的“耦合”我们不会有 问题。责怪我们的“孤独的伙
伴是很自然的。
”这一信念的后果是巨大的自我毁灭。






Romantic
love
is
exciting,
but
what
happens
when
the
romance
wears
off?
Experts
estimate
that
romantic
sexual
attractions
last
only
18
months to two years. Using love or sex as a drug will only prevent us from
reaching
maturity.
We
do
need
excitement
and
stimulation
and
joy
and
intimacy.
But
in
mature
love
we
are
concerned
with
our
loved
one's
joy
and
fulfillment.
The
satisfaction
comes
not
from
our
own
immediate
gratification, but from the joy of giving to the other person, and watching
them grow and thrive.
浪漫的爱情是令人兴奋的，但是当爱情消失？ 专家估计，浪漫的性吸
引力，
最后只有
18
个月到两年。
用爱和性作 为药物只会阻止我们达到
成熟。我们需要兴奋和刺激、欢乐和亲密。但在成熟的爱，我们关心
的 是我们所爱的人的快乐和满足感。满足不是来自我们自己的即时满
足，但给人的快乐，看着他们成长。< br>





If you are single, the best thing you can do to prepare for a life-long
loving
relationship
is
to
work
on
getting
your
own
needs
met.
The
first
thing to do is to start identifying what they are. For instance: you long for
affection and need a hug. Have you thought of asking a friend to hug you?
You will be amazed what will happen if you start asking people directly to
meet your needs.

如果你是单身，你可以准备一个终身的爱的关系的最好的事情就是 做
你所需要的。要做的第一件事是开始确定它们是什么。例如：你长的
感情和需要一个拥抱。你 问一个朋友拥抱你的想法吗？你会惊讶，如
果你开始问人们直接去满足你的需求会发生什么。

You will get some negative responses, but for the most part you will find
that people are happy to help you.
你会得到一些消极的反应，但大部分你会发现人们很乐意帮助你。






Many
of
us
were
taught
our
needs
are
wrong.
Our
needs
are
not
wrong.
We
get
into
difficulty
when
we
try
to
meet
our
needs
in
indirect
ways. It is not that we shouldn't enjoy the excitement of a new relationship
or love interest; we get into difficulty when we think we will get all our
needs met from this one
我们中的许多人被教导我们的需要是错的 。我们需要的是没有错的。
我们遇到困难时，我们尽量满足我们的需要，以间接的方式。这并不
是说我们不应该享受新的关系或爱的兴趣的兴奋；我们遇到困难时，
我们认为我们会得到所有满足我们的 需要从这一“神奇”的人。

Passage 2
Born
black
in
a
land
where
white
people
were
powerful
and
respected, born female in a land where decisions were masculine (
男子的
),
I
had
been
afraid
of
the
life
of
poverty
and
despair.
In
the
prime
of
my
youth, whenever I thought about growing old, I always carried a profound
belief that I wouldn't live past the age of 28. Tears would fill my eyes and
bathe
my
face
when
I
thought
of
dying
before
my
son
became
an
adolescent. < br>出世在一地的白人的强大的和受尊敬的黑人，出世在一地的决定是男
性化的女性（男子的）
，我一直害怕贫困和绝望的生活。在我的青春，
每当我想到变老，
我总是带着这一信念我不会 活过
28
岁。
眼泪溢满了
我的眼眶，洗我的脸时，我想在我的儿子成为一个青 少年死亡。






I
was
thirty-six
before
I
realized
I
had
lived
years
beyond
my
deadline and needed to revise my thinking about an early death. I would
live to see my son an adult and myself at the half-century mark. With that
realization life turned sweeter. Old acquaintances became friendships, and
new acquaintances showed themselves more interesting. I did not live in
undue absorption in the bygone loves burdened with disappointments and
betrayals. I found new loves were coming.
我三十六岁之前，我意识到我已经超出我的期限和需要来改变我对早
期死亡的思考。我会活着看到我的儿 子长大成人，我在半个世纪的标
记。
实现了与生活的甜蜜。
老熟人了友谊，
和 新朋友显示自己更有趣。
我没有活在过去的过度吸收爱背负着失望和背叛。
我找到新的爱来了。






I decided I would consent to living to an old age. White strands of
hair would emerge near my temple (
太阳穴
). I would speak more slowly,
choosing
my
words
just
like
an
elder
stateswoman.
My
clothes
would
gradually
become
more
distinguished-looking:
gray
suits
and
elegant
dresses.
And
while
I
would
refuse
to
wear
old
ladies'
comforts,
I
would
give
away
the
three- inch-high
heels
that
had
given
me
the
advantage
of
being
taller
than
nearly
everyone else
in
the world. And
I
would
choose
good
shoes
with
medium
heels.
I
would
keep
company
with
other
old
women who would be equally prettily dressed, and I would always have an
elegant, well-dressed man holding my arm. < br>我决定我会同意生活。
头发白股将出现在我的殿
（太阳穴）
。
我会说得
更慢一些，选择我的话就像一个年长的政治家。我的衣服会逐渐变得
更加气宇轩昂的：灰色西装 和优雅的礼服。而我会拒绝穿老女人的安
慰，我会把三英寸高的高跟鞋，给了我是几乎比世界上其他人高 的优
势。我会选择好的鞋中鞋。我会和其他人一样打扮得漂漂亮亮的老女
人作伴，我总是有一个 优雅，穿着得体的男人牵着我的手。






Those
were
my
plans.
But
at
sixty
my
body
which
had
never
displayed a mind of its own, turned uncontrollable, stubborn and disloyal.
My face became wrinkled, the skin on my thighs turned lumpy (
粗糙的
)
and
my
waist
thickened.
I
began
to
be
overwhelmed
with
doubt
and
pessimism.
这些是我的计划。但在六十我的身体从来没有显示出自己的心，把不< br>可控的，顽固的不忠。我的脸变得皱巴巴的，在我大腿上的皮肤变成
块状（粗糙的）和我的腰粗。 我开始被怀疑和悲观。






But
now,
as
I
walk
slowly
nearer
to
my
seventieth
year,
my
optimism has returned. My appetites have also returned. True, I can't eat
fried
chicken
with
potato
salad
and
then
head
for
bed.
I
eat
smaller
portions earlier and try to take a short walk. A smooth Scotch whisky still
causes me to smile, and a decent wine is received with gratitude. What I
have learned so far about aging, despite the old bones and the wrinkles of
one's once-silken skin, is this: do it. By all means, do it.
但现在，我慢慢地靠近我第七十年，我的 乐观主义的回归。我的胃口
也恢复了。真的，我不能吃炸八块鸡土豆沙拉，然后睡觉。我吃小份
的早期尝试散步。一个光滑的苏格兰威士忌仍然使我的笑容，和一个
体面的葡萄酒感谢着领受。我学会了 到目前为止老化有什么，尽管老
骨头和一个曾经皮肤细嫩，皱纹是这样的：这样做。通过一切手段，去做。
