过去我认为人年纪大了就不会再交朋友,但我已经发现也不是这么回事。有时候,会有人莫名走进你的生活,然后你发现,自己并没有老到不能爱的那一天。而且还会有下一次(这也是还原能力)。
One is never too old for desire. Having entered the twilight of my dating years, I can tell you it is much easier to navigate the Scylla and Charybdis of anticipation and disappointment when you’ve had plenty of experience with the shoals and eddies of shallow waters. Emphasis on shallow. By now, we know deep.
也不要说自己太老了,不该有什么欲望。我已经进入约会时光的晚期,可以负责任地告诉你,当你在浅水区见识了足够多的浅滩和漩涡,哪天要面对斯库拉(Scylla)和卡律布狄斯(Charybdis)这个级别的希望与失望起落时,会容易许多。把注意力放在浅水上。到如今,我们已经知道深水是什么样了。
Take a pass on bad manners, on thoughtlessness, on unreliability, on carelessness and on all the other ways people distinguish themselves as unappealing specimens. Take a pass on your own unappealing behavior, too: the pining, yearning, longing and otherwise frittering away of valuable brainwaves that could be spent on Sudoku, or at least a jigsaw puzzle, if not that Beethoven sonata you loved so well in college.
对于别人的不礼貌、欠考虑、不靠谱和粗心大意,以及所有令人生厌的品质,忽略它们吧。也改改自己一些讨人厌的习惯:执念、向往、强求和诸如此类浪费宝贵脑细胞的活动,这些脑细胞蛮可以用来玩数独,或至少能玩个拼图,如果不想听大学时最爱的贝多芬奏鸣曲的话。
