Surprising Benefits¹ of Being Single

 

单身的好处

 

You can sleep in peace and quiet.

 

在安静舒适的环境中入眠

 

Confession::I really, really, REALLY miss cuddling.

 

好吧，我坦白：我真的、真的、真的好怀念爱的抱抱。

 

I've been single for a while, and love it for the most part…but the absence of physical touch has driven me a bit crazy （maybe I should start collecting applications for a cuddle buddy²?）.

 

我单身有一阵子了，大部分时间还是蛮享受的……但没有肌肤之亲真是有点让人抓狂啊（我是不是该征集一个可以抱抱的小伙伴了？）。

 

That brings us to the point: even though it's nice to snuggle, I have a VERY difficult time sleeping next to another person （especially if they snore³！）.

 

问题来了：尽管亲亲热热很爽，但身边躺着人（尤其是打呼噜的人！）

 

If you know that feeling, then singlehood might be for you.

 

我就难以入睡！如果你懂这种感觉，单身可能很适合你哦。
