A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
婚姻
Marriage
Lust is what keeps you wanting to do it even when you have no desire to be with each other. Love is what makes you want to be with each other even when you have no desire to do it.
欲望是什么让你想做它，即使你没有欲望和对方在一起。爱是什么让你想和对方在一起，即使你没有这样做的欲望。
Traditional marriage between a man and a woman has been a cornerstone of our society for generations. If we are going to change that, it ought to be done by the will of the people.
几代人以来，传统的男女婚姻一直是我们社会的基石。如果我们要改变这种状况，就应该靠人民的意愿。
I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm... where you're together and everybody has clear-cut roles; they have chores, 'you take care of this' and you know. But it's hard.
我一直觉得婚姻在农场最有效……你们在一起，每个人都有明确的角色;他们有杂务，‘你来做这件事’，你知道的。但它很难。
Never ever discount the idea of marriage. Sure, someone might tell you that marriage is just a piece of paper. Well, so is money, and what's more life-affirming than cold, hard cash?
永远不要轻视婚姻。当然，有人可能会告诉你婚姻只是一张纸。那么，金钱也是如此，还有什么比冰冷的现金更能让人对生活充满信心呢?
Getting a dog is like getting married. It teaches you to be less self-centered, to accept sudden, surprising outbursts of affection, and not to be upset by a few scratches on your car.

Thousands of years and many civilizations have defined a marriage as the union between one man and one woman. With few exceptions, those civilizations that did not follow that perished.

So they were married--to be the more together-- And found they were never again so much together, Divided by the morning tea, By the evening paper, By the children and tradesmen’s bills.

Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.

In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you.
在像婚姻这样神圣的地方，你会发现自己在某些时候会因为未知的原因而远离它，这可能是毁灭性的。可能会有一个恶魔出来，控制你。
There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage, in your job, in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.
每件事都会有高峰和低谷——在你的婚姻中，在你的工作中，在你的生活中。所以尽情享受山峰和山谷吧。尽量不要做太轻率的事。
In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.
在一段糟糕的婚姻中，朋友是无形的粘合剂。如果我们有足够的朋友，我们可能会继续生活很多年，打算离开，谈论离开——而不是真正地起床离开。
I like being independent. I don't think that marriage means you're not independent, but right now I'm very comfortable, and I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I feel solid. I feel safe.
我喜欢独立。我不认为婚姻意味着你不独立，但现在我很舒服，我可能是我最幸福的人。我觉得可靠。我感觉安全。
