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.
這聽起來應該非常可怕，非常不性感。我們以律師的堅韌和會計師的穩重，準備數小時討論我們的感情，以此來具體證明我們的愛，而不是帶著玫瑰從鐘樓上跳下，或者在酒店房間裡狂熱地做愛。

如何傾聽身體的聲音？ (How to listen to your Body)
- Can a kidney really remember a sorrow? Could a wrist or a femur hold on to the memory of a punitive parent or a painful divorce? But mind and body are not impermeable entities.
腎臟真的能記住悲傷嗎？手腕或大腿骨能記住父母的懲罰或離婚的痛苦嗎？但是，心靈和身體並不是不可滲透的實體。
- Could a wrist or a femur hold onto the memory of a punitive parent or a painful divorce?
然而，如果我們可以這樣說，身體是有良知的。它不會放過某些事情。如果自我表達的途徑被語言堵塞，那麼可能別無選擇，只能通過我們的身體重新傳遞某些資訊。身體的疼痛很難被忽視。這就是問題所在。當我們的大腦過於巧妙地超越自身的痛苦脈衝時，我們的身體就會遭受某種痛苦。我們之所以會陷入困境，是因為我們善於忽略低級抑鬱或慢性焦慮。但是，當深層的自我再也無法忍受我們在情緒上的疏忽時，我們可能會產生背痛，這種背痛讓我們無可爭辯地意識到出了大問題。
