分手後復合前 — 必看這支影片！ (Before You Get Back With Your Ex — Watch THIS)
- News that two people who had a harrowing break-up are now trying to get back together again a few months or years down the line tends, among sensible people, to raise at the very least suspicion, if not outright irritation and despair. Why are these two cursed lovers heading back to the old chaos and drama? Isn't this just a fantasy sprung from naivety, loneliness and most probably short-term lust? Shouldn't they keep faith with their original choice, double down on the highs and lows of dating and perhaps each buy a dog? And yet, to deny ex-couples any legitimate chance to revisit their situation also feels excessively punitive and in its way naïve, insisting blindly that people can never change, that psychotherapy and introspection, books and conversations, time and long walks have nothing whatsoever to teach us, is as foolish as to assume that change can come readily and lightly. For every misguided attempt to resume a relationship, there must be a proportion of equally misguided refusals to countenance a new start, born not out of wisdom so much as pre-emptive fear and disbelief that people are, occasionally, able to learn a new thing or two. We need to make progress a tool with which to strip the matter of sentiment and rationally distinguish mature from sentimental plans. What follows is a sequence of questions, amounting to a kind of examination, that exes who are meeting up again after a long break should discuss with one another – and as importantly, with themselves – before coming anywhere near to holding hands, let alone – and here we must be very definitive – going to bed.
兩個經歷了痛苦分手的人在幾個月或幾年後試圖重新走到一起的消息，在理智的人看來，即使不是直接的惱怒和絕望，也至少會引起懷疑。為什麼這對被詛咒的戀人又要回到過去的混亂和戲劇中去？這難道不是出於天真、孤獨和很可能是短期的慾望而產生的幻想嗎？難道他們不應該堅持自己最初的選擇，加倍享受約會的高低起伏，或許還可以各買一條狗嗎？然而，剝奪前任情侶重新審視自己處境的任何合法機會，也讓人覺得是一種過度的懲罰，而且在某種程度上也是一種天真，盲目地堅持認為人是永遠不會改變的，認為心理治療和檢討、書籍和談話、時間和長時間的散步都
- And yet, to deny ex-couples any legitimate chance to revisit their situation also feels excessively punitive and in its way naïve.
