我单身并不是偶然。 一位男士跟我生活在一起并不容易，
除非他非常强大。
假如他比我强大，我无法跟他一起生活。
我既不聪明，也不笨，但我不是一个普通人。
我在商场中并没有完全成为一名职业女性，
我不是仅仅为爱而生的女人
我爱过两位男士，
我想他们会记住我，
一直到永远。
男人们记住一个女人，
是因为这个女人引起他们的关注
奥黛丽赫本
It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone.
It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong.
And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. …
I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person.
I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman,
I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love.
The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me,
on earth or in heaven,
because men always remember a woman
who caused them concern and uneasiness.
I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life,
without precepts,
but with a taste for justice.
― Coco Chanel

as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures.
None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.
― Jane Austen

How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man
to build the world she wants,
rather than to create it herself?”
一个女人盼望一个男人为她创造她想要的天地，
而不是自己去创造，真是荒谬！
