女漢子：我不需要男人的11個理由

Here are the 11 reasons a woman can do perfectly well without a man. Whether you’re married or single, they’re sure to strike a chord.
以下就是女人沒有男人也可以棒棒噠的11個理由。不論你是結婚了還是單身狗，它們都一定會引起你的共鳴。

1)The TV remote control is a device that changes channels — it is not a life-support system. I do not need a man who thinks it is and has to have it prised out of his hands.
電視遙控器是用來換頻道的設備——它不是個生命維持系統！我不需要一個這樣想的男人，還總是把遙控器攥在手裏緊緊不放！

2)I like my bathroom sink to be sparkly and clean. I do not need a man to leave foamy bristles all over it.
我就是喜歡亮閃閃的乾淨的浴室。我不需要男人把沾滿泡沫的鬍鬚毛髮掉一地。

3)I can cook a meal without using every pot and pan in the kitchen. I don’t need a man to turn it into a bombsite.
我用不着用上廚房裏的所有盆和所有鍋來做一頓飯！我不需要個男人把廚房變成爆炸屋！

4)I don’t need a man to come home and spend two hours telling me about his day without once asking me about mine.
我不需要一個男人踏進家門就喋喋不休兩個小時，告訴我他的一天如何如何，卻一次也沒問過我！

5)Laundry needs to be done on different wash cycles. I don’t need a man to ruin my cashmere by not reading the labels.
洗衣服需要用不同的洗滌圈數（指洗衣機功能）。我不需要一個男人看也不看標籤就把我的羊毛衫洗壞了！

6)When I can’t do a DIY job, I admit it. I don’t need a man to insist he can, then mess it up.
當我不會自己動手的時候，我就說我不會做。我不需要一個男人堅持說“我會我會！”……然後弄的一團糟。

7)When I can’t open a tight jar, I stab the lid, release the pressure — and hey presto. No man required.
當我打不開密封罐頭的時候，我把蓋子刺個洞，釋放壓力——你看，變！根本不需要男人嘛。

8)When my clothes feel tight, I know I’ve gained weight. I don’t need a man to point it out, grab rolls or tell me I’m ‘so cuddly’.
當我的衣服變緊的時候，我知道我重了！我不需要一個男人爲我指出，奪走我的麪包卷，或是告訴我是那麼的“惹人想抱”！

9)Sometimes it’s nice to watch a cheesy, romantic movie at the cinema. I don’t need a man to sit next to me, sighing, tutting and muttering ‘for God’s sake’ all the way through.
有時候在電影院看看惡俗的愛情片挺好的。我不需要一個男人坐在我身邊，全程嘆氣，發出嘖嘖的不滿，還有發着“天哪！”的牢騷。

10)Making a list and sticking to it is the fastest, most efficient way to get around a supermarket. I don’t need a man to return home having bought nothing we need and 200 things we don’t.
列一個清單，按單子購買是最快的、最高效的超市購物方案。我不需要一個男人回家的時候給我買了一堆不需要的東西，而我們的必需品什麼都沒買！

11)They’re your family. I don’t need a man who needs me to remember the birthdays of his parents, siblings, and nieces and to buy their Christmas presents.
他們是你的家人。我不需要一個男人要我記住他爹孃還有兄弟姐妹還有外甥們的生日，還要買聖誕禮物給他們！
