為什麼我們談戀愛需要慢慢來？❤️ (Why We Need to Take It Slowly in Love)
- Such self-possession might sound denying and sad. Why such miserliness? Modernity was supposed to have liberated us from decorum. We were supposed to have been able to let go of rigmaroles of propriety for the untrammelled callings of our hearts. But slowness does not necessarily need to have anything to do with prudishness or social moors. It can be where we land once we have built up a more profound understanding of the psychology of love. Whatever we may tell ourselves, love is far from being simply all we humans want. However heady and beautiful it might appear from a distance, it is something that may, in actuality, terrify us as much as it delights us, something we are as much tempted to flee as to embrace. Caution is therefore logical. To stand helpless and vulnerable before another human, to hope that they will see us as we are and still care for us, opens us up to a genuine and uncommon risk of devastation.
這樣的自持聽起來可能會讓人感到拒絕和悲哀。為何如此吝嗇？現代性本應將我們從禮儀中解放出來。我們本應能夠放下禮教的束縛，聽從內心無拘無束的召喚。但是，"慢 "並不一定與謹小慎微或社會荒原有關。一旦我們對愛的心理有了更深刻的理解，它就會成為我們的落腳點。無論我們如何告訴自己，愛情遠非我們人類想要的全部。無論從遠處看，它多麼令人陶醉，多麼美麗，但實際上，它可能會讓我們感到恐懼，也可能會讓我們感到高興，我們既想逃離，也想擁抱。是以，謹慎是合乎邏輯的。無助而脆弱地站在另一個人面前，希望他們看到我們的真實面目並依然關
- However heady and beautiful it might appear from a distance, it's something that may, in actuality, terrify us as much as it delights us—something we're as much tempted to flee as to embrace.
