You're single--a heat-seeking bachelor, committed to no one inparticular, able to party like John Belushi and sleep until noon withno one underfoot to tell you to do otherwise. It's a great life, andwhy shouldn't it be?

    假設你是單身--一個熱衷艷遇的單身漢，那么你既不需要向誰負責，又可以像John Belushi那樣狂歡，還可以一覺睡到自然醒，太陽照到屁股也沒人管。多美妙的生活啊，難道不是么？

    1.You can take the time to find the right woman 你有足夠的時間來尋找合適的女人

    One of our reasons for staying single is that you can afford to waitfor your true soul mate （if one even exists） to pop into the picture.You can take the time to casually wade through the barracuda-infestedwaters of the dating pool and set your hook for the prize catch.

    單身理由之一，你可以等待，直到真正的心靈伴侶出現（如果存在的話）.面對遍布荊棘的婚姻之路，你可以耐下性子，放長線，釣大魚。

    It's sad to say, but too many guys get hitched for the wrong reasons,like they've reached a certain age, all of their friends are gettingmarried, and they haven't been successful at dating and this woman isthe first to show interest.

    很遺憾的是，有太多人因為錯誤的原因選擇結婚。比如說，到了某個年齡，或是朋友們都結了婚，又或是情場屢屢失意后終于碰上一個對自己表現出興趣的女人。

    2.You can focus on your career 你可以更加重視你的事業

    Our No. 2 reason for staying single is that you can enjoy theopportunity of building your career without draining the tons of energya permanent relationship entails. You remain free to put in long hours,work on the weekends or do whatever else you have to do to besuccessful. This is especially true if you're working in any kind oftime-demanding field, such as medicine, law or entrepreneurship.

    單身理由之二，你可以盡情打拼事業，無需為婚姻心力交瘁。你可以投入大把時間，在周末工作，或是做那些可以讓你有所成就的事情。尤其當你的工作很費時間，例如從醫、從事法律工作或是做企業家，這一條就更加重要。

    3.You can do what you want, when you want 無論何時，你都可以做你想做的事

    When you're single, the world is your oyster. You can pick up and goanywhere you want, do anything you want, any time you want. No one isin the background nagging at you to do chores, go shopping, or "growup."

    如果你是單身，那么整個世界盡在掌握。不論何時何地，你可以從心所欲。沒人摧著你干家務或去逛街，也沒人要你"別耍孩子氣".

    You're absolutely free to hang out with your buddies, party until dawnand find plenty of time for your personal interests and hobbies. Bestof all, you have the luxury of being all by yourself, if you feel likeit.

    你可以盡情和弟兄們出去狂歡至天明，留出足夠時間從事興趣愛好。最妙的是，你可以做你歡的自己。

    4.You can enjoy a sexual smorgasbord 你有更多機會一夜風流

    One of the best reasons for staying single is that you're not stuckwith the same sex partner for the rest of your life. The datinguniverse is yours to conquer. You can happily sample all the differentfare at the sexual buffet, and keep your taste buds primed for the nextdish being served.

    單身理由中最具吸引力的一條，你無需和某個固定的性伙伴度過下半輩子。情場就躺在你的腳下。你可以遍嘗魚水之歡，時刻性致盎然。

    What's more, you never have to wrestle with sexual boredom or lack ofvariety （and you'll be the envy of all your married friends）.

    此外，你不用擔心會對千篇一律的交歡方式索然，并會讓有婦之夫們眼紅。

    5.You can build wealth 你可以積累財富

    Staying single means not being forced into buying a 10,000-megawattdiamond ring （so your fiance can impress her friends with the hugeprice tag） or any of the other bloodsucking financial drains thatmarriage entails, for that matter.

    堅持單身，意味著你不必硬著頭皮去買天價鉆石（以便你的未婚妻在朋友面前炫耀）,也免得被婚姻慢慢榨干血汗錢。

    By staying single, you're not legally or financially obligated toanyone but yourself. But once you John Hancock the dotted line on thatmarriage contract, she has you by the balls forever.

    堅持單身，金錢和法律方面你只需對自己負責。而一旦在那張白紙上簽下黑字，她這輩子都靠你養了。

    6.You can enjoy serenity 你可以享受寧靜

    Another reason for staying single is that being alone means peace andquiet. When you don't live with a woman, you're not subjected to hernever-ending mood swings and emotional storms, or her blaming you foreverything that she screws up in her life.

    另一個單身理由是，你可以享受到寧靜。和女人生活，你就得接受女人的怒無常，女人的火山爆發，女人做錯事情卻讓你跪搓衣板。

    And, of course, no fights. As long as you keep her as a casualgirlfriend and not a wife, if she gets too uppity you can simply walkaway, free and clear.

    此外，沒有爆發戰爭的危險。只要她是你普通的女友而不是妻子，一旦她讓你不爽，分手就是了，一清二白。

    雖然單身很自由，但是當你討到一個疼人的老婆時，也許這點自由你會心甘情愿的放棄哦！
