留美老師帶你每日說英文 第703期:談戀愛的困難所在

臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

Dating is hard enough as it is. You're two people who come with your own set of baggage, trying to come together in this lasting emotionally supportive relationship where you still maintain a physical attraction and regular intercourse with each other. Like why would you add to that already complicated system by faking your feelings up front?
約會本身就已經夠難的了。你們兩個人相遇時各自都揹負着包袱，試着要在一起交往，維繫這段能長期相互扶持的感情關係，同時還要保持對彼此的性吸引力和規律的性關係。何必要在一開始進入這個本來就已經夠複雜的機制裏時，還要裝模作樣呢？
