I don't know! I don't know!

我不知道！我不知道！

Ah, single life. Gotta love it, right? I just really love it a lot. Just so much freedom.

嗯，單身生活。誰不喜歡單身，對吧？我超愛。有好多自由！

Anyway, 44% of Americans over 18 lead single lives. That's a pretty big chunk.

總之，有超過 44% 的 18 歲以上美國人過著單身生活，這是相當可觀的數字。

And we wanted to see how people felt about singledom.

讓人想知道究竟人們對單身抱持著什麼看法。

We brought in a selection of single people and we asked them a few questions.

我們挑選了一些單身的人，並問他們幾個問題。

If you could wake up tomorrow and be single or in a relationship, would you be single or in a relationship? - In a relationship.

如果可以選擇明天醒來會變成單身或是有伴侶，你希望是單身還是有人陪伴？ - 有另一半。

Be in a relationship.

有另一半。

In a relationship.

有另一半。

I'd like to have someone special.

我希望有一個特別的人陪。

In a relationship.

有另一半。

In a relationship, right away.

希望馬上有個另一半。

When you're with someone, like, I don't know, just being with them, just holding them, it's nice!

當你和一個人在一起，嗯...我也不知道， 就是可以在一起，抱著彼此，感覺很好！

In a relationship, no doubt! Humans aren't meant to be alone.

當然是有另一半！人類是不該孤獨活著的。

This really surprised us. Not one person actually wanted to be single over being in a relationship.

這確實令我們感到驚訝，竟然沒有人想要單身。

So just to be sure we even surveyed forty-five additional participants outside the show and all forty-five said they'd prefer to be in a relationship.

為了使調查結果更準確，除了影片中的受訪者，我們還另外訪問了 45 人，而這 45 人的也全都希望感情狀態是「交往中」。

What are the qualities you look for in a partner?

你理想中的伴侶須具備什麼特質？

Companionship.

懂得陪伴。

Honest, doesn't cheat. The basics.

誠實，不欺騙。基本的要有。

Friendly but aggressive.

為人友善，但又野心勃勃的。

Someone who I can just grab pancakes at 2 AM at IHOP just because we both feel like it.

一個可以讓我凌晨 2 點在 IHOP 吃鬆餅，只因為我們都想吃的人。

What do you think it is that other people are looking for in a partner?

你覺得別人尋找伴侶時看的是什麼？

很多人只是想找個能陪在身旁的俊男美女。

Someone who they can showcase.

某個可以出去炫耀的人。

I wanna just want to get married so I don't have to worry about it anymore, just be done with it!

我只想結婚， 這樣我就再也不用擔心這個問題了，一勞永逸！

It's like, "Hey, I'm married, I have kids, I can't date you!"

我吸醠告訴世界：「我結婚了， 有小孩，所以不能和你約會！」

We also learned that we're all looking for the same great qualities but we think we're one of the only ones who is!

結果也顯示，我們尋找伴侶時看重的都是良好人品，我們也都認為自己是少數中的少數！

Now unless we were lucky enough that every participant we had was the saint of their social circle, something just doesn't add up!

除非我們真的這麼幸運，邀請到的每一位受訪者都是他們社交圈中的聖人，否則這不合理啊！

What would you say if I told you that all the people we asked said the same thing.

如果我告訴你，所有人的回答都一樣。

I am looking for all these great qualities in a person and all of them also said that they believe everybody else is looking for something more superficial.

我找尋的伴侶必須擁有這些良好特質，而且他們都認為其他人所想的都是較膚淺的事物，

You know, arm candy or money.

像是俊男美女或錢這類。

I guess that we put ourselves up on a pedestal and think we're so noble!

我想我們是有點自作清高了！

I hope that not everybody feels that the world is out to get them.

我希望不是每個人都有被害妄想症。

Are all those qualities packed into any single person you know now?

你有認識任何人擁有以上所有素質嗎？

Dating-wise, no.

就約會而言，沒有。

Mhm!

有！

Yeah!

有！

Yeah.

有。

Yeah.

有。

I can be myself around him and be comfortable.

在他身旁我可以舒服地做自己。

Like I'm really trying with someone right now.

我目前有一位認真想嘗試交往的對象。

She's kind, she's sometimes too kind to people. But she doesn't judge people.

她很善良，有時對別人太過善良，但她不隨意評斷任何人。

The guy that I actually just met and he's, you know, everything.

我才剛認識那個男生，他很完美，在每方面都是。

But I'm actually scared to go forth with the whole process because I don't feel he feels the same way.

但實際上我害怕再更進一步，因為我不覺得他對我有一樣的感覺。

Would you be willing to give him a call and let him know that he has these qualities?

你願意打個電話給他讓他知道他有這些特質嗎？

Um...

嗯...

I promise nothing bad will happen.

我保證不會有壞事發生。

I don't know, wait, that's weird!

我不知道耶，等等，這樣很怪吧！

Well, we're not asking you to ask him out or anything like that. Just let him know he has these qualities!

嗯，我們不是要求你約他出來之類的，只是讓他知道他有這些特質！

It's kind of weird because her younger brother used to be my best friend. That's like breaking bro code or something.

這會有點怪，因為她的弟弟曾經是我最好的朋友，這樣做就像觸犯了「兄弟條約」之類的。

It's not, it's fine.

並沒有，沒關係好嗎。

Okay!

好吧！

So I'll just tell him that he has good qualities. - Yes!

所以我就直接告訴他他有多優質這樣？- 是的！

I don't know if you saw that girl in the lobby but she seems like a genuinely nice person, which is good! I like that! I like nice people.

我不知道你有沒有在大廳看到那個女孩，但她看起來真的是很好的人，這很好！我喜歡！我喜歡好女孩。

So she's here!

Yeah! She's in the lobby. She's in the lobby.

是啊！她在大廳。

I'm nervous, man.

Hello?

哈囉？

我只是想告訴你，你很完美又很風趣，我很想念你，因為你已經不在洛杉磯了。

And I...

When we first met, I did not expect to feel the way I've felt.

當我們第一次見面，我沒想到會有那種感覺，

I thought we were just gonna be friends. I actually see something in you that I haven't seen in anybody else.

我以為我們只會成為朋友。其實我對你的感覺是在其他人身上所沒有的。

They told me to describe someone that had the same qualities that I would go out for, like, nice and everything and, ya, so I called you!

他們要我描述想和怎樣的人約會，譬如人很好什麼的， 結果我就打給你了！

- You're calling me? - Yeah!

- 我嗎？ - 對啊！

I still remember that time when we had cheesecakes super, super late and you, yeah, then you just told me to go for my dreams and that meant a lot to me! Oh gosh, okay!

我還記得有一次，已經深夜了，我們一起吃起士蛋糕，然後你，對阿！ 你叫我朝著夢想前進，那句話對我影響很深！噢，天哪，就是這樣！

Thank you! - Alright.

謝謝你！- 好喔。

I believe in you. You're... You're an awesome person. You have to start believing more in yourself, you know? You're amazing buddy, you are.

我相信你，你... 你是很好的人！ 你要對自己多點信心，知道嗎？ 你很了不起，真的。

I'm alright.

哪有！我很普通。

No, you're cool.

不，你很酷。

You know, I know you have some type of attraction towards me but I feel a little bit more than just attracted to your body and all that stuff.

我知道你對我有某種吸引力，但不只是你的身材或外表之類的。

I love how you're so honest and you're so sweet and genuine. - Yeah.

But, this is the longest voicemail you'll ever receive.

You rock because you cook and you like little kids and you like fro-yo and those are the three main tenets in life, dude.

你很屌，因為你會做菜、你喜歡小孩子 、喜歡優格冰淇淋，而那些就是人生的圭臬。

It's not me trying to be sentimental, I mean how do you feel after you know, everything.

我不是突然多愁善感，我想知道你怎麼想，在你知道我對你說這些後。

I mean... I'm always cool.

我想...我不是一直都很酷嗎？

Whatever happens happens. Yeah.

順其自然吧！

I like that answer.

我喜歡這個回答。

And I just am really appreciating the time we've been spending together, okay. Bye!

我只是想感謝你陪我共度了那些歡樂時光，拜！

Bye.

拜。

How are you feeling now?

你現在感覺如何？

I feel good!

感覺很好！

That was great!

很棒！

I feel like it was very freeing!

感覺如釋重負！

How do you feel about taking a risk like that?

你覺得這種真心話大冒險如何？

Being in the mindset of taking risks is always good. So I am all for them! But I usually don't do them in public.

冒險的態度總是好的。所以我完全同意這麼做！ 但通常不會在公開場合。

I don't mind being bold! I think risk is necessary for growth.

我並不介意大膽一點！我想事情若要有所發展風險是必須的。

Oh actually, I love taking risk. I love a challenge. That was a really big challenge for me.

喔，事實上我喜歡冒險。我喜歡接受挑戰， 而這對我來說是一個艱鉅的挑戰。

Took a risk by being here, man. My friend, she's like just hang on! You never know where you end up, may end up on a show, or just like meeting someone you really like!

在這裡才讓我敢做這種事。我的朋友，她的意思好像要我繼續堅持下去！你永遠不知道戀情何時到來， 可能是在一個節目上，或是剛好遇見一個你真正喜歡的人！

Now that I did that, I feel ten times better!

告白完後我覺得人生豁然開朗！

The thing is I don't need to date him now or anything but at least he knows that I feel this way about him!

重點是我其實不需要現在就和他約會或怎樣，但至少讓他知道了我對他的感覺！

Either he likes me or he doesn't. If he likes me then if he doesn't work out then I'm going to do that to the next guy!

反正不是喜歡就是不喜歡。如果他喜歡我那麼... 如果他聽不懂那我就再找下一位了！

I'm glad I did it now because I did it!

我很高興我打了這通電話，因為...我說出口了！

Whatever you think is too much risk, just take a little more.

不管你覺得風險有多高，就放手去做吧。

So go out and take a chance on somebody. We're a lot more alike than we think.

所以，現在開始勇敢的去告白吧。 我們其實比我們想像中還相似。

Like happiness, everyone wants love but a lot of the ideas we have about how to get it, give it, sustain it, are outdated, conflicting, and kind of vague.

談到幸福，每個人都需要愛， 但我們有很多想法關於如何擁有、給予維持愛情，是過時的、矛盾的，而且不太清楚。

So we figured how about we have a practical conversation about it and make it a little less confusing.

所以我們就想不如讓大家出來聊聊，讓愛不再如此令人困惑。

I'm Julian, and this has been the Science of Love!

我是朱利安，《愛情維基解密》我們下次見！
