分手後復合前 — 必看這支影片！ (Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS)
- The greatest predictor of success is an advanced capacity to think without defensiveness, pride or impatience about all that was most terrible. Everything that feels a bit unromantic is paradoxically truly romantic, in the sense of being conducive to love. Which is why this test is deliberately, provocatively framed in the most boring, hard-headed way possible.
成功的最大預示因素是一種先進的思考能力，對一切最可怕的事情不設防、不驕傲、不急躁。一切讓人感覺有點不浪漫的事物，從有利於愛情的意義上來說，恰恰是真正浪漫的。這就是為什麼這個測試故意用最無聊、最生硬的方式進行。
- They only stand to face the downsides and that's why they're so useful. They aren't a sworn enemy, that won't be of assistance, but nor are they any kind of indiscriminate romantic either. They are a hard-headed realist who saw what the ex put their friend through and doesn't ever want it to happen again. So they need to be brought into the discussion.
他們只會面對不利因素，所以才如此有用。他們不是不共戴天的仇敵，不會提供幫助，但也不是濫情的浪漫主義者。他們是頭腦冷靜的現實主義者，他們看到了前任對朋友的傷害，不希望這種事情再次發生。是以，我們需要讓他們參與討論。
真愛的印記... (The Mark of True Love...)
- We humans have an immense appetite for complicated things, neuroscience, astrophysics and molecular biology of course, but also barely decipherable books, abstract works of art and avant-garde pieces of theatre without plot or character, all of which perhaps evoke the primordial puzzles of the universe and our own always ineffable existence within it. But our veneration for complexity can reach a most painful, time-consuming and futile zenith in one area in particular – relationships. It's here that we find otherwise discerning and hard-headed people exhibiting extreme patience, often lasting over a succession of tormented years, for what we can call complicated situations. The complexities may arise from some of the following dynamics. A beloved partner who wants to commit and surely will one day but not quite yet on account of this or that factor or not entirely because of certain psychological fears or not conclusively or at least not without certain important caveats. They may need space, freedom or what they call a chance to explore though quite what was still not wholly clear, though we have asked them on many occasions. Then a partner with whom there are a lot of misunderstandings, around whom words often lose their standard meanings, around whom we may have to spend hours untangling what was truly meant and around whom gestures or deeds that we previously thought uncontentious suddenly become the occasion for major surprising aggravations. Or a partner who in principle is there for us and in theory loves us very very much but in actuality – like last week and the week before that – is constantly remarkably busy, unable to respond to our texts, out with their compelling friends or concentrated on their always extremely demanding job. Or a partner with whom we sit up late at night on many occasions with a pad and paper to hand attempting to determine where the issues are coming from, what is at play and how things might be handled before, baffled and upset, we finally have to retreat to bed a little after 1am feeling fragile and tearful.
我們人類對複雜的事物有著巨大的慾望，當然包括神經科學、天體物理學和分子生物學，但也包括幾乎無法解讀的書籍、抽象的藝術作品和沒有情節或人物的前衛戲劇作品，所有這些或許都讓人聯想到宇宙的原始謎題以及我們自身在宇宙中始終難以言喻的存在。但是，我們對複雜性的崇尚在一個領域會達到最痛苦、耗時和徒勞的頂峰，這個領域就是人際關係。在這裡，我們會發現那些原本明察秋毫、鐵石心腸的人表現出了極度的耐心，往往要持續數年之久，以應對我們可以稱之為複雜的情況。這種複雜性可能源於以下一些動態因素。心愛的伴侶想要承諾，而且有朝一日肯定

但是，從本質上講，由於聯盟的核心有幾個基本要素，是以會有一種簡單性在起作用。他們知道如何--也想--愛我們。我們也知道如何--並且想要--愛他們。這就是為什麼他們幾乎總是會準時出現，及時回覆簡訊，清晰地溝通，為我們感到驕傲，向朋友們介紹我們，讓我們感到被需要、平靜、對自己的地位有把握，並且能夠上床睡覺--而不用在合理的時間再看一次手機。我們可以概括地說，如果沒有這些，那就說明有其他問題。至於是什麼，可能是一個持續幾個世紀的猜測問題。可能是童年的創傷，可能是精神疾病，可能是我們自己錯誤的慾望造成的後果，也可

也許最好的希望是，這次選舉能為這個至今由頑固的將軍主導的政權帶來更多聲音和觀點，這些將軍認為可以使用各種武力來鎮壓他們的對手。
