Forever Single

永远单身

“No one will ever marry me,” said Paula. “Of course someone will marry you,” said her sister Joan. Paula said she wasn’t pretty. A man wants to marry a pretty woman. “I think you’re pretty. Some man will marry you. Look at Mama,” said Joan. “Mama is not a pretty woman. Daddy married Mama. So, someone will marry you. Of course someone will marry you.” Paula did not think so. She was 30 years old. She was not married. She didn’t have a boyfriend. Her last boyfriend was 10 years ago. She didn’t go out on dates. No man ever asked her out on a date. “I can’t even get a date,” she said. “How can I get married if I can’t even get a date?” Joan told her to stop worrying. She would find a man when she stopped worrying about finding a man.

宝拉说：“没人想跟我结婚。”她的姐姐琼称：“肯定有人愿意和你结婚。”宝拉说她长得不漂亮。男人喜欢和漂亮的女性结婚。琼说：“我认为你很漂亮。你一定会结婚的。看看妈妈。妈妈长得不美丽。爸爸和她结了婚。所以你一定能结婚。你一定能嫁出去。”宝拉不这么认为。她30岁了。她还没有结婚。她没有男朋友。她最后一任男朋友还是十年前。她没有约会。没有男性愿意和她约会。她说：“甚至没人和我约会。我不约会怎么结婚？”琼告诉她不要担心。当她不再困扰时就会找到心仪男子。
