他其實(shí)沒(méi)那么喜歡你 第103期:這個(gè)世上還有很多的優(yōu)秀的男人

We have been conditioned to expect so little, told notto be demanding, not to seem needy.

我們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了低期待，不要求，不裝苦。

But what would happen if all the women in the worldlistened to Greg—if we all started insisting that menkeep true to their word, treat us with respect, showerus with the appropriate amount of love andaffection?

但是如果全世界的女人都聽(tīng)格雷格的會(huì)怎樣，如果我們開(kāi)始堅(jiān)信男人們會(huì)守承諾，尊重我們，給我們足夠的愛(ài)和感情。

I think there would be an awful lot of better-behaved men in the world. That's all I'm saying.

我覺(jué)得這個(gè)世上還是有很多的優(yōu)秀的男人。這就是我想說(shuō)的。

And in terms of Greg's outlook on the world, well, I can give you incredibly valid arguments,backed up with statistics, flow charts, and diagrams, for why my pessimism is the morerealistic outlook to have.

好吧，對(duì)于格雷格的世界觀，我要給你一個(gè)非常有效的觀點(diǎn)，有數(shù)據(jù)、流程圖和圖表的支持，這就是為什么消極主義是更現(xiàn)實(shí)的觀點(diǎn)。

But will it make me any happier?

但是這會(huì)讓我更開(kāi)心嗎?

That's where I'm at now, at forty-one and still single.

這就是我現(xiàn)在狀況，41歲，單身。

What are the points of view and attitudes that are going to make me a happier person?

能讓我變成更開(kāi)心的觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度是什么?

I'm already smart enough.

我已經(jīng)夠聰明了。

I need a constant dose of happy now.

現(xiàn)在我要一劑恒量的快樂(lè)。

If you are listening this audio book, chances are you are someone who has spent too much timewith men who have given you too little—meaning, you could use a little Greg voice in yourhead.

如果你正在聽(tīng)這本有聲讀物，有可能你就是那個(gè)對(duì)男人付出很多，但是得到的卻很少的人，意思就是，你可以聽(tīng)取一下格雷格的意見(jiàn)。

What woman, really, couldn't use a man in her ear, reminding her that she's smart andvaluable and worthy and gorgeous, an deserving of everything she ever wanted?

說(shuō)真的，怎樣的女人才可以不用男人來(lái)提醒她，她很聰明、珍貴、有價(jià)值、優(yōu)雅，值得擁有所有她想要的東西。

Not a one. The world out there feeds us a lot of messages telling us otherwise.

沒(méi)有一個(gè)這樣的?，F(xiàn)實(shí)世界給我們灌輸?shù)男畔t告之恰恰相反。

I think Greg's yelling at us so loud in the hope that he can drown out some of that other noise.

我想格雷格正大聲對(duì)我們吼呢，他希望這樣可以蓋沒(méi)其它的噪音。

I hope this book was helpful to you.

我希望此書對(duì)你有用。

I hope it made you a laugh a little, in recognition.

我不由地希望它能讓你笑一笑。

And I hope you find fantastic, healthy, life-changing love, just the way you had imagined it.

我還希望你能找到一段夢(mèng)幻的、健康的、改變生活的愛(ài)情，正如你想象的那種。

With perhaps a few surprises thrown in just for fun.

可能一些驚喜只是為了好玩。
