臺灣年輕女性不懼當(dāng)“剩女”

       Ms. Chen's career as a professional singleton began in 2004; a cosmetics-company employee living at home with her family, she launched a blog, www.wretch.cc/blog/illyqueen. (Her royal title was inspired by friends' remarks that she had a regal air.) In 2007 her first book, 'I Am Queen' sold 100,000 copies, and now she's a full-time writer and celebrity, dispensing advice on modern relationships via her blog and at paid lectures.

　　陳麗儀宣揚女性獨身主義的事業(yè)始于2004年，當(dāng)時她在一個化妝品公司上班，跟家人住在一起，她開了一個博客（朋友說她頗具皇室氣質(zhì)，她靈機一動就把自己取名為“女王”。）2007年，她出了第一本書《我是女王》，賣出10萬本，現(xiàn)在成為全職名人作家，通過博客和收費演講傳播自己對現(xiàn)代兩性關(guān)系的建議。

　　At the nightclub dinner, sponsored by a make-up brand, Ms. Chen, wearing a stretched black-and-white striped sweater over a pair of purple stockings, hands out prizes, gives effusive speeches and poses for pictures with guests, mostly avid readers of her blog.

　　夜店的晚宴由一個化妝品品牌贊助，陳儀麗身穿一件加長的黑白條紋羊毛衫，腿著紫色褲襪，不時分發(fā)獎品，做煽情的演講，與來賓合影留念，后者大多數(shù)是她博客的粉絲。

　　Strictly speaking, Ms. Chen, 30, is no longer a singleton. She's in a relationship that's lasted two years, and is even thinking of marrying her boyfriend -- though she's not sure she wants children, particularly if they might get in the way of her career.

　　嚴(yán)格說來，30歲的陳儀麗不再是獨身女性，她已經(jīng)跟男朋友交往兩年，甚至到了談婚論嫁的地步。不過，她還不確定是否要生孩子，尤其是如果孩子會阻礙她事業(yè)發(fā)展的話。
