"How do I win an argument with a woman?"

“怎样赢得与女性的争吵？”

Well, that's a tricky¹ question.

嗯，这是个棘手的问题。

That's funny. I can tell he's young cause he still thinks he can win an argument with a woman.

这很有趣。我看得出他还年轻，他依然认为他能在与女性的争吵中获胜。

You don't. The women are always right. Just give it up, buddy².

不能。女性永远是对的。放弃吧，伙计。

It's hard. If you do, you're lucky.

很难。如果你赢了，那你太幸运了。

You don't. It's easy, you just don't. Even if you do "win", you're gonna lose in some other areas of your life.

你没办法。很简单，你赢不了。即使你“赢”了，你也会在生活的其他方面有所损失。

The best way to win an argument with a woman is to agree with her.

赢得与女性争吵的最佳方式是与她意见一致。

Think back to a time that maybe she messed up and that you can blame her on.

回想一下她搞砸了一切，而你可以责怪她了。

Bring up the topic over and over again. Just don't stop until you win.

反复提出这个话题。在你获胜之前不要停止。

Let them vent³. You have to just hold that part of you that wants to react and punch back and just listen.

让她们发泄。你只要抓住你想做出反应的那部分，回击，然后倾听。

Try and be rational. Try not to get too angry.

尽量保持理性。不要太生气。

You win an argument by making sure they're wrong and having Internet.

确保她们是错的而且有互联网连接，你就能赢得这场争吵。

I don't think you can win an argument with a woman unless you have proofs and facts.

我认为除非你有证据和事实，否则不可能赢得和女性的争吵。

Be logical and if you're right — if you're good at explaining your point and you actually have valid⁴ opinions she will see your side.

要有逻辑性，如果你是对的，如果你擅长解释你的观点，而且你的确掌握有根据的观点，那她会同意你的观点。

Compromising is key.

妥协是关键。

I know that I'm not always right. I don't always win. I'm admitting it. So compromise.

我知道我并不总是对的。我并不总是能赢。我承认。所以妥协吧。

Only if she lets you. That means if we choose to let you think you've won, you'll win. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time.

只有在她让你赢的时候你才能赢。这意味着如果我们选择让你赢，那你就会赢。否则，你只是在浪费时间。
