爱情面面观(1)

Aspects of Love

这个时代变化太快,对于年轻男女来说,要想获得爱情,可真是一件费脑细胞的事。其实感情的问题关键在于控制control。在恋爱时我们都千方百计地想控制住对方,把握恋爱的主动权,正如歌词中唱道:你看你说话的表情,多么的骄傲,难道不怕我say sorry get out,是谁开始先出招,没什么大不了,见招拆招才重要,要爱就不要跑“do not get away”。爱情36计,就像一场游戏“play the same game”,我要自己掌握遥控器“remote controller”。爱情36计,要随时保持美丽“get every chance to take fresh air”。爱情不能失去新鲜感,如果失去它,就会失去主动权,所以整个恋爱过程要尽量“get things interesting”争取新鲜感,还要努力保持新鲜感“keep things interesting”。常听闺中密友相互传授恋爱诀窍:“如果你爱他,就该牢牢将他控制住。”(If you love him, then lock him down.)Lock-control-get in control,锁住,即牢牢控制住。而男人们在咖啡桌前也不忘告诫老友:“You don’t always have to go along with what the woman wants.”(你不一定总是要顺着女人的意思。)所以双方都要一直给对方施加压力keeps pressuring all the time.这种压力既有情感上的,也有经济上的。无论男女,常有这样的矛盾心理,如同《Gossip Girl》(《绯闻女孩》)里瑟琳娜Serena向布莱尔Blair倾诉的那样:

I mean, if I end up with Dan, a part of me will always love Nate. And if I end up with Nate, a part of me will always love Dan.So I don't know.I guess I just need to find someone who gives me what I get in both of them.

如果我和丹在一起,我内心总会有个角落爱着内特。如果我和内特在一起,我内心总会有个角落爱着丹。我想我要找到那个能让我全心深爱的人。

这样的人有吗?老天爷知道“God knows”。到底定下谁作为自己托付一生的人,这真是一个需要慎重做出的决定。That’s a mature decision.经过无数次的抉择,当我们真正想安定下来(结婚),The real part is when you settle down with each other,会不会是在我们已经没有力气进行选择的时候?
