What is marriage like, if you could explain that?
婚姻是怎样的,你能解释一下吗?
Well, to me, it's having your best friend next to you all the time. When Ann goes away for a few days, I'm sort of out of sorts.
嗯,对我来说,婚姻就是有最好的朋友一直陪在你身边。当安离开几天时,我就会有点浑身不自在。
A good marriage gives one a sense of safety and comfort and allows you to grow, just like a child who feels secure in their relationship with their parents, is then willing to go out in the world independently, knowing that there's a good attachment.
好的婚姻能给人安全感和舒适感,并让你成长——就像一个孩子,在与父母的关系中感到安全,就愿意独立地走向世界,因为他知道背后有良好的依恋关系。
So if someone’s not getting married or not deciding to do that, what disadvantages might they miss?
那么,如果有人不结婚或者不决定结婚,他们可能会错过什么好处呢?
Most relationships are not just a compromise, but a complementary existence. One person is a good cook, me, one person takes care of the finances. Him. And that gets worked out in a relationship. That's an easy way to live, isn't it?
大多数关系不仅仅是一种妥协,更是一种互补的存在。一个人擅长做饭——比如我,一个人负责管钱——比如他。这种分工在关系中自然就形成了。这样生活不是更轻松吗?
