It's So Simple
显而易见
Sometimes life is incredibly difficult and painful.
有些人的生活极其的艰难而又痛苦。
If you're looking for a partner to share your life with, it's better to pick someone who's able to meet it headlong with his full faculties.
如果你想寻找一个可以共享此生的伴侣,最好挑选一个可以拼尽全力的人。
Extra note to the ladies: If you happen to notice an increase in your drinking or smoking while with Mr. Party Man, please be aware.
给女士们的格外忠告:如果你恰好发现在和派对先生一起时,喝酒和抽烟的几率增加了,那你就要小心了。
This is not an "if you can't beat it, get drunk with it" situation.
这可不是一个“如果你跑不掉,那就一醉方休“的情况。
Your getting drunk won't make him seem any less of a drinker.
你喝醉了并不会损害他是酒鬼的事实。
Here's Why This One is Hard, by Liz
这就是此事为何艰难的原因,莉兹
I don't know why, but I've dated a lot of alcoholics.
我不知道为什么我跟很多酒鬼恋爱过。
Or as I would have probably said at the time, "guys who like to drink a lot."
或者当时我应该更恰当的称之为,“酗酒的男人。”
I really don't know why. There isn't alcoholism anywhere in my family. I'm not a big drinker myself.
我真的不知道这是为什么。我家没有酗酒的人。我自己也不是海量的人。
I think I just always thought they were fun.
我觉得我只是觉得他们有趣罢了。
I loved when my boyfriend climbed the water tower at my friend's roof party wedding while he was bombed out of his mind and exposed himself to everyone.
我喜欢我男朋友在我朋友屋顶派对婚礼上爬上水塔,思想爆炸,向大家展示自己的样子。
I thought it was hilarious. And when that guy, drunk, lit a pack of firecrackers in his kitchen just to make me laugh? Well, that was adorable.
我觉得那很好笑。当那哥们儿喝醉了,在厨房点着一盒鞭炮只是为博我一笑时,那真是可爱极了。
I found it particularly amusing when my boyfriend disappeared for a week and, after a lot of calling, I found out he moved back in with his ex-girlfriend.
我觉得当我男朋友消失一礼拜,在打了很多电话给他后,发现他搬回前女友那儿去的时候尤其好笑。
I think there are probably personality traits that many alcoholics share that happen to be the traits that I find really attractive.
我觉得许多酒鬼所共有的性格特点恰好很吸引我。
The drunks I've dated were all spontaneous, funny, passionate, smart, creative, emotionally unavailable, unreliable, insensitive, dishonest, and slightly abusive.
和我约会的酒鬼都是自然的,有趣的,热情的,聪明的,创造性的,情绪不稳定,不可靠,不敏感,不诚实,和轻微的虐待。
How I loved them all. So what's hard about this one?
我都喜欢。所以这有什么困难的么?
Nothing much. Except, boy, does alcohol factor in a lot in the beginning stages of dating.
什么都没有。除了男孩在恋爱初期就表现出了许多喝酒的特质。
The first kiss, the first time having sex...most relationships would never get off the ground without a couple of glasses of wine first, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
初吻,初次做爱......许多恋情在取得进展时离不开一杯事前酒,但是那是无害的。
