闲话单身男女的生活悲喜剧

 　　对于单身，有些单身的人们都喜欢说自己快乐， 认为自己现在的单身很自在，很悠闲，无忧无虑， 不用去考虑家庭的牵绊，一个人吃饱全家人不饿； 不需顾及他人的情面，我行我素独来独往，什么都可以无所谓。

　　Many unmarried people would like to say “I am happy”， considering the single will be free, easy, carefree, and there is no need to worry about the family. The whole family will not be hungry when one is stuffed. You don’t have to care about other people, you can do what ever in your own way, and nothing matters too much。

　　但也有些单身的人们会说自己不快乐， 认为自己就像是孤单的木偶， 伴着寂寞，心中是无比的失落与空荡. 独自去远方徘徊畅游，一个人坐看晚霞映红西山，一个人吃着早餐，一个人独自睡去，一个人看着电视剧说着不知所云的话。

　　However, many guys will say they are unhappy, like a lonely puppet with infinite boredom¹ and emptiness. When you go travelling far way, you watch the beautiful sunset varnishing² the sky, you have breakfast alone, fall asleep alone and watch the TV dramas alone without knowing what it is about。

　　如果是单身，你会害怕长夜的寂寞吗？

　　If you are single, are you afraid of the lonely long night?

　　如果是单身，你会担心将来的结果吗？

　　If you are single, are you afraid of your future?

　　如果是单身，你会在乎身边人的幸福吗？

　　If you are single, do you care about other people’s happiness?

　　如果是单身，你会觉得快乐吗？

　　If you are single, are you happy? Everything has its double sides. It's hard to say happy or not to be a single. It all depends on what situation you are in。

　　每一件事都有它的两面性。很难说单身到底快乐与否。这得取决于你处于什么样的情景。

　　Well, when you want to do something for yourself, you don't have to think about your family if you are a single. That's very joyful³. And you just feel free to do whatever you want, there might have no restrictions⁴ in your single life. That is happy。

　　好，当你想要只为自己做一些事情的时候，如果你是单身，你不需要考虑你的家人。那是非常愉快的。你只是自由的做你想做的事，在单身生活中，这里也许不会有约束。那是一种快乐。

　　But, have you ever thought about when you are in trouble, who is going to help you? When you are sick, who is going to look after you?

　　但是，你有没有想过，当你处于困境中，有谁可以帮你？或是当你生病了，谁会来照顾你？

　　You might say " I have got frends!" Yes, your friends maybe can help but have you ever thought about their own life?

　　你也许会说“我有很多朋友。”是的，你的朋友也许可以帮助你，可你有没有想过你朋友自己的生活呢？

　　And, life is not only for obtaining but also giving. How do you feel if you could help your beloved, if you could make them happy? That would be very cheerful to see our beloved smiling。

　　还有，生活不只是获取，同样也是付出。如果你能帮助你所爱的人，如果你能让你所爱的人快乐，你会是一种什么样的感觉？看到我们心爱的人微笑应该是非常愉快的。

　　So, it's hard to say happy or not to be a single。

　　所以，真的很难说，单身到底是否快乐。
