享受独处除了了死亡,我们最害怕的就是孤独。
Our fear of aloneness is so ingrained that given the choice of being by ourselves or being with others we opt1 for safety in numbers, even at the expense of lingering in painful, boring, or totaling unredeeming company. And yet more of us than ever are alone.
以至于让我们选择是独处还是跟别人一起时,我们会选择后者以寻求安全感,甚至不惜付出如此多的代价:长久的痛苦、烦闷或完全无益的陪伴。然而,现在,我们却感受到了从未感受过的强烈孤独。

同时更多的美国人离婚了。不到三十年之间,离婚的人数增加为原来的4倍- 到1996 年这一数字已经达到18 300 000 ,而1970年只有4 300 000人。

独居史无前例地成为美国主流的生活方式。
Nonetheless, we persist in the conviction that a solitary2 existence Is the harshest penalty life can mete3 out. We loathe4 being alone- anytime, anytime, anywhere, for whatever reason. From childhood we’re conditioned to accept that when alone we instinctively5 ache for company.
然而,我们坚持认为,独居是组残酷的生活方式。我们讨厌独处-无论何时何地,出于何种原因。我们从孩提时就习惯认同,独处时的我们会本能地渴望有人陪伴,认为孤独者都是渴望加入群体生活,而非欣然独处的。
