IN THIS LESSON
ID: 0325 Advanced
如果到了该结婚的年龄，却迟迟找不到结婚对象，你会怎么办呢？努力寻求还是原地等待？随便找个人结婚还是干脆过上单身生活呢？的确，一个看似简单但十分复杂的问题。而人对异性的关注也许是天生的，女人讨论男人，男人讨论女人，一个陈旧但时刻保持新鲜的话题，一个讨论了上千次但仍不自觉会掉入的话题。

破财 pòcái to suffer financial loss
伴侣 bànlǚ companion
八字还没一撇 bāzìháiméiyīpiě to have not begun at all
一大把 yīdàbǎ a large amount
今年我好多朋友都结婚了，周末又参加了一次婚礼。哎，真是破财。
jīnnián wǒ hǎo duō péngyou dōu jiéhūn le ，zhōumò yòu cānjiā le yīcì hūnlǐ 。āi ，zhēnshì pòcái 。
This year a lot of my friends have gotten married. This weekend I went to another wedding. Agh, it's hitting my pocketbook pretty hard!
天哪，为什么那么多人都能找到自己的伴侣，我却八字还没一撇。真是受刺激！
tiānnǎ ，wèishénme nàme duō rén dōu néng zhǎodào zìjǐ de bànlǚ ，wǒ què bāzìháiméiyīpiě 。zhēnshì shòu cìjī ！
Oh man, why are so many people able to find a mate while I haven't even gotten started? It's really upsetting!
那是因为你眼光太高。我看追你的人一大把，还有你爸妈给你介绍的相亲对象。只不过你一个都看不上。
nà shì yīnwèi nǐ yǎnguāng tài gāo 。wǒ kàn zhuī nǐ de rén yīdàbǎ ，hái yǒu nǐ bàmā gěi nǐ jièshào de xiāngqīn duìxiàng 。zhǐ bùguò nǐ yī ge dōu kàn bu shàng 。
That's because your standards are too high. I see a ton of people pursuing you, and your parents introduce eligible people to you. It's just that you don't take a shine to them.
瞎说，我眼光高什么？现在实在是没有什么理想的男人。好的都给人挑光了，比如你男朋友。剩下的那些，素质就可想而知了。
xiāshuō ，wǒ yǎnguāng gāo shénme ？xiànzài shízài shì méiyǒu shénme lǐxiǎng de nánrén 。hǎo de dōu gěi rén tiāo guāng le ，bǐrú nǐ nánpéngyou 。shèngxià de nàxiē ，sùzhì jiù kěxiǎngérzhī le 。
Baloney. You think my standards are too high? These days there really aren't any ideal men. The good ones are all taken, like your boyfriend. As for the rest of them, you can imagine what they're like.
