A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
约会
Dating
You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.
你知道,我的梦中情人可能明天就会出现。我长大了,也更聪明了,我想我会成为一个很好的女朋友。我生活在充满浪漫可能性的世界里。
We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.
我们一直在保护男性的自我,这对男性是一种伤害。如果一个男人很敏感或者很聪明,他想从他女朋友那里得到直接的消息。
Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting - a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That's the exception to the rule.
去年我男朋友送给我一幅画——一幅非常私人的画。我真的更喜欢私人礼物或别人为我做的礼物。除了钻石。那是规则的例外。
I can't even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It's a nightmare.
我甚至无法向你解释那种感觉有多糟糕,我把和一个女人约会等同于惩罚、羞耻、内疚、失望、指责、谴责和迫害。这是一个噩梦。
People could rationally decide that prolonged relationships take up too much time and effort and that they'd much rather do other kinds of things. But most people are afraid of rejection.
人们可以理性地认为,长期的恋爱关系占用了太多的时间和精力,他们宁愿做其他事情。但是大多数人害怕被拒绝。
Which is, I'm an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship.
也就是说,我乐观地认为两个人可以一起解决他们之间的冲突。我认为,这种承诺可能就是爱,因为他们都是从他们的关系中成长起来的。
I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.
我更感兴趣的是一个演员对一些实质性的、重要的事情说些什么,而不是他们在和谁约会,他们穿什么衣服,或者他们生活中其他一些愚蠢的、无关紧要的方面。
I don't know the first real thing about the dating game. I don't know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general.
我对约会游戏一无所知。我不知道如何和一个特定的人交谈并建立联系。我只是认为你必须一个人一个人地去,尽可能地与人相处。
I don't understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I'm interested in someone, and I don't want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I'm not interested in that person.
我不明白约会是怎么回事。如果我对某个人感兴趣,我马上就知道了,我不想让他们把钱浪费在我身上,如果我知道我对那个人不感兴趣,我就带我出去吃饭。
Here's the funny thing about the response I've been aware of to my dating famous people: It's been very negative. I'm either not good-looking enough, not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people.
有趣的是,当我和名人约会时,我注意到他们的反应是非常消极的。对这些人来说,我要么不够好看,要么不够优秀,要么不够成功。
You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.
你不能停止爱或想要爱,因为当爱是对的时候,它就是世界上最好的东西。当你在一段关系中,感觉很好,即使你的生活中没有什么是对的,你会觉得你的整个世界都是完整的。
Were I to put myself on... one of those online dating things, I would not include in my profile that I'm regularly hospitalized for psychosis. But I do know that when I get really bad, there is a place for me to go where I will feel better.
如果我穿上……其中一件网上约会的事情,我不会在我的个人资料中包括,我经常因为精神病住院。但是我知道,当我变得很糟糕的时候,有一个地方可以让我感觉更好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.
如果你最好的朋友偷走了你的女朋友,那真是生死攸关。
I don't really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I'd just rather not talk about who I'm dating.
我不怎么评论我的私生活,因为我觉得任何评论都是在打开一罐虫子。我只是不想说我在和谁约会。
If you don't have a valentine, hang out with your girlfriends, don't go looking for someone. When it's right, they'll come to you.
如果你没有情人节礼物,那就和你的女朋友们出去玩,不要去找别人。对的时候,他们会来找你的。
The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they're human beings.
富人则不同。他们的需要很难维持。他们会挑选眼睛的颜色和头发的颜色,一直到她以什么为生,她上过什么学校。他们的清单可能非常长。但说到底,约会就是约会,因为他们都是人。
