留美老师带你每日说英文 第703期:谈恋爱的困难所在

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

Dating is hard enough as it is. You're two people who come with your own set of baggage, trying to come together in this lasting emotionally supportive relationship where you still maintain a physical attraction and regular intercourse with each other. Like why would you add to that already complicated system by faking your feelings up front?
约会本身就已经够难的了。你们两个人相遇时各自都背负着包袱，试着要在一起交往，维系这段能长期相互扶持的感情关系，同时还要保持对彼此的性吸引力和规律的性关系。何必要在一开始进入这个本来就已经够复杂的机制里时，还要装模作样呢？
