有聲雙語美文：你爲什麼單身？
I'm single because:
我單身是因爲：
I am very, very, very picky. I figure I'd rather be single than be stuck in a relationship with someone I'm not totAlly crazy about.
我非常、非常、非常挑剔。我想我寧可單身也不要被困在和我一點也不喜歡的人在一起的關係中。
Unfortunately, the few who pass my standards do not seem to like me that way.
不幸的是，少數達到我交往標準的人似乎並不那麼喜歡我。
I'm lazy. I don't make much of an effort to meet people and get to know mildly interesting people.
我很懶。我並沒有在迎合別人上花費太多精力，也沒有去結交稍微有點意思的人。
I'm busy. I work a lot. Also, I do a lot of other things when I'm not at work and most of them do not involve meeting single men.
我很忙，我工作繁重，我在工作以外的時間也有很多其他事情要做，而他們之中的大部分都無關和單身男子見面的事。
I'm shy. I will not make the first move because rejection sucks.
我很害羞，我不會走出第一步，因爲被髮卡實在是太糟糕了。
I take relationships seriously, that is something I can't help, so I become pretty emotionally involved. This results in me being extremely picky. Also, because relationships are so important to me when I have one, it's not really compatible with my being extremely busy at this younger stage in my life.
我會忍不住很認真地對待情侶關係，所以我會投入很多感情。這就導致我在這方面非常挑剔。也正是因爲情侶關係對我如此重要，當我談戀愛的時候，我將無法將它和我人生裏這個較爲年輕的階段中忙碌的生活之間的關係處理好。
Or maybe just because I'm young and don't really know what I am looking for, and thus am commitment-phobic.
或者也有可能只是因爲我還年輕，並不知道自己真正想要的是什麼，因此害怕給出承諾。
