Surprising Benefits of Being Single

 

单身的好处

 

You can become more self-reliant.

 

变得更加独立

 

 

Have you ever been through a breakup so emotionally devastating¹ that you couldn’t function for weeks, or months, afterward²？

 

你有没有经历过痛彻心扉的分手？心痛得你几周、几个月甚至更长的时间都缓不过劲来？

 

Love is a chaotic³ force that can be both beautiful and destructive （you do know hurricanes are named after people, right？）.

 

爱很闹心，既美妙又极具破坏性（你也知道，飓风都是以人名命名的，对吧？）

 

Passionate⁴ feelings cannot and should not be silenced. But never let a person become the single subject of your thoughts,because few relationships are destined⁵ for eternal success.

 

激情本就难以平息，也不该被平息。但永远别让一个人成为你心心念念的唯一主题，因为能终成眷属的感情并不多。

 

If you’re not comfortable with that risk, then singlehood might be for you.

 

如果你不愿承担这样的风险，那么单身也许很适合你哦。
