A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
婚姻
Marriage
There's not a lot of room anymore for what I call 'made-up' drama. The drama comes from real places now - marriage takes work and focus, the kid stuff takes patience and commitment. And if you don't grow as people and as a couple, within all of that, then you've got some real drama.
我所谓的“虚构”戏剧已经没有多少空间了。现在，戏剧来自真实的地方——婚姻需要工作和专注，孩子需要耐心和承诺。如果你不能像一个人或一对夫妻那样成长，那么你就有了真正的戏剧性。
I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.
我知道在我自己的婚姻中，我留下来是为了给我的儿子提供一个我认为是稳定的背景，给他一个我认为是一个孩子应该拥有的家庭生活。但这并不总是最好的方式，离婚后我带儿子去看了心理治疗，才真正体会到这一点。
My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she's not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that's a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.
我妻子一直是我最亲密的朋友，我最亲密的顾问。和…她不是那种关注聚光灯的人，甚至对我从政也不狂热。这对我来说是一个很好的现实检验。当我回家时，她想让我成为一个好爸爸和好丈夫。其他的都是次要的。
What you are as a single person, you will be as a married person, only to a greater degree. Any negative character trait will be intensified in a marriage relationship, because you will feel free to let your guard down -- that person has committed himself to you and you no longer have to worry about scaring him off.
作为一个单身的人，你会成为一个已婚的人，只是在很大程度上。任何负面的性格特征在婚姻关系中都会被强化，因为你可以放松警惕——那个人已经对你做出了承诺，你再也不用担心吓跑他。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I was glad to hear of that determination as I detest the practice of cousins marrying or any marriage between persons in which there can be traced the most distant relationship. I go for the improvement instead of the deterioration of our race.
我很高兴听到这个决定，因为我讨厌堂兄弟姐妹结婚，讨厌任何可以追溯到最遥远关系的人结婚。我追求进步而不是我们种族的堕落。
Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.
任何一个聪明的女人，只要读了婚姻契约，然后付诸行动，她就应该承担所有的后果。
But, alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?
但是,唉!有哪个可怜的女人受过这样的教育:她应该有一个比找个丈夫更高的目标?
Never again! I can see no reason for marriage - ever at all. I've had it. Three times is enough.
再也不会!我看不出有什么结婚的理由——从来没有。我受够了。三次就够了。
My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
我的婚姻?到目前为止一切都很好。但这是一段真实的婚姻——不完美，非常艰难。这一切都是关于人们在他们的生活中同时进化。我认为我们已经在情感上进化了。
"I believe that marriage isn't between a man and a women but between love and love."
“我相信婚姻不是一男一女之间的事，而是爱与爱之间的事。”
