看美劇學(xué)英語：《欲望都市》— 未婚優(yōu)質(zhì)男青年都去哪兒了？

《欲望都市》中有一集Carrie在專欄中寫道：” There are thousands of women like this in the city. We all know them and we all agree they're great. They travel, they pay taxes, they'll spend $400 on a pair of Manolo Blah-nik strappy sandals, and they're alone. It's like the riddle of the Sphinx.? Why are there so many great unmar-ried women and no great unmarried men?”

在曼哈頓這座城市里有上千萬的優(yōu)秀女子。她們熱衷旅行，依法納稅，穿時尚品牌的鞋子，最重要的是，她們單身。這就是一個解不開的迷：這個城市有那么多優(yōu)質(zhì)未婚女人，卻不見一個未婚的好男人。

這究竟是為什么呢？為此，Carrie采訪了許多單身朋友。我們也可以在網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)英語，一起來了解他們。

When you're in your 20s, women con-trol the relationships.? By the time you're in your 30s, you're being devoured by women. Suddenly the guys are holding all the chips. I call it ''the mid-thirties power flip''.

二十歲時，女人在戀愛關(guān)系掌握主動權(quán)，然而三十歲之后，男人翻身做主了，開始被女人追逐。突然間男人占盡優(yōu)勢，稱之為“三十幾歲的權(quán)力大逆轉(zhuǎn)”。

It's all about age and biology. If you want to get married, it's to have kids, right? If you do it with someone older than 35, you have to have kids right away. And that's about it. These women should forget about marriage and have a good time.

都是年齡和生理的鍋，要是結(jié)婚了，不得趕緊生個孩子？如果35歲之后才結(jié)婚，肯定是要盡快生孩子的。所以說，女人應(yīng)該忘記婚姻，好好得樂一樂。

I totally believe that love conquers all.? Sometimes you just have to give it a little space.? That's what's missing in Manhat-tan———the space for romance. 我相信愛情是可以克服一切困難的。只是有時你需要給它一點空間，曼哈頓就是缺少這樣一種浪漫氛圍的空間。

There's not one woman in New York who hasn't turned down ten wonder-ful guys because they were too short, or too fat, or too poor. Why don't these women marry a fat guy?? Why don't they just marry a big fat tub of lard?

居住在紐約的女人沒有一個不是至少拒絕過十個好男人以上，就因為他們矮，胖，窮。為什么女人們不隨便嫁個胖子就好了？問題就是女人們不要輕易到手的男人。

什么？ 年齡大了就得隨意講究嫁個矮胖丑的男人？ 女人可不是這么想的？

I've been out with short, fat and poor guys. It makes no difference. They are just as self-centered as the good-looking ones.

我也曾試圖跟矮胖丑的男人約會，但是他們自大無知的熊樣和帥男人完全沒區(qū)別！

Trust me, this is not a story that makes men feel bad. Most men are threatened by successful women. If you wanna get these guys, you have to keep your mouth shut and play by the rules.

大多數(shù)男人面對女強人時總有壓迫感。如果你想釣到男人，最好閉上嘴按規(guī)矩辦事。

Sweetheart, it's the first time in the his-tory of Manhattan that women have had as much power as men, plus the e-qual luxury of treating men like sex objects.

親愛的，這是曼哈頓歷史上第一次，女性擁有和男性一樣的權(quán)力，把男人當(dāng)做滿足性欲的物品。

學(xué)習(xí)提升英語的，還可以試試以下幾個方面，我覺得還是很有幫助的

1、加強英語的詞匯量和語法方面的知識，這是基礎(chǔ)。

2、多朗誦一些膾炙人口的英文，最好是會背誦，培養(yǎng)語感。

3、聽你喜歡的英語歌曲，還有看歐美電影，保持興趣的同時學(xué)到口語。

4、若有機會的話，跟老外多說英語。比如現(xiàn)在的在線英語培訓(xùn)效果就比線下的更好。
