在大城市戀愛才懂的8件事

 

1. "It's a big city and you have the opportunity to meet new people constantly!" 
“城市這么大，你總能認(rèn)識(shí)新的人！” Hahaha...no. Current mood 24/7:

 

 

哈哈哈……不是這樣的！此刻的心情，以及每時(shí)每刻的心情如下：

 

 

2. Dating outside of your borough is basically a long-distance relationship, so bring a book on your *one hour* train ride. 
和另一個(gè)區(qū)的人戀愛基本上就算異地戀了，所以長(zhǎng)達(dá)*1小時(shí)*的火車上帶本書吧。

 

 

Also, prepare to never see your friends again until their next birthday. 
另外，做好心理準(zhǔn)備，可能在朋友們下次過(guò)生日前，你都不會(huì)再見到他們了。

3. Those people who can't commit because the 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. work/life struggle is too real. 
有好多人無(wú)法許下承諾，因?yàn)閺脑缟暇劈c(diǎn)到晚上九點(diǎn)都需要為工作或生活?yuàn)^斗的狀況實(shí)在是太現(xiàn)實(shí)了。

But don't take it personally. It may be you at some point, too. 
但是不要以為這是針對(duì)你個(gè)人的，當(dāng)然也可能在某種程度上就是針對(duì)你的。

4. Realizing that your date has five roommates and that sleepovers are your special burden from now on. 
要意識(shí)到你的約會(huì)對(duì)象還有5個(gè)室友，從今往后，過(guò)夜都會(huì)變成你的特別負(fù)擔(dān)。

 

 

Hope your room is clean! 
希望你的房間干凈整潔吧！

5. Expectations: Meeting the love of your life on the subway and attempting awkward small talk. 
期待：在地鐵上遇到你的人生摯愛，打算開始尷尬地聊個(gè)天。

 

 

"Is this train going uptown or downtown?" 
“這趟車是進(jìn)城方向還是出城方向的？”

6. Reality: Meeting the love of your life, playing stare tag, and then not doing a damn thing about it until one of you leaves. 
現(xiàn)實(shí)：遇到了你的人生摯愛，互相盯著衣服標(biāo)簽看，然后什么也沒做，后來(lái)，你們其中一人下車了。

 

 

You briefly consider writing a Craigslist Missed Connection before you remember just how big the city is. 
你很快想到可以在分類廣告欄登個(gè)尋人啟事，但想到城市有多大，也就放棄了。

7. After a breakup, misery sets in, until you realize you never have to see that person ever, ever again. 
分手之后，悲傷來(lái)了，但你意識(shí)到你可以永遠(yuǎn)永遠(yuǎn)都不再見這個(gè)人了，悲傷也就沒了。

 

 

Remember: this is the biggest perk of living in a big city. This is what you came here for. 
切記：這是生活在大城市最大的好處，你就是為這個(gè)來(lái)的。

8. ...Until you run into them at your favorite place in the city which you introduced them to .……
（接上一條）直到有一天你在城市里最喜歡的地方再次撞見他們，而那個(gè)地方正是你推薦給他們的。
