Introduction by Greg
格雷格的介紹
So I'm sitting in the writers' room at Sex and the City pondering my good fortune to be the only straight male on the predominantly female writing staff (actually I'm just eating a cookie) , when the writers begin talking about the guys they're seeing.
所以當我正坐在《欲望都市》的編劇室里，思考著在女性寫作人員占主導的團隊里，我作為唯一的直男真是好運時，(實際上我只是在吃著一個餅干)，編劇們開始談論她們正在約會的對象。
This is a common occurrence, as it is part of the writing process for a show that explores romantic relationships.
這件事很常見，因為它是這部探究戀愛關系的電視劇寫作過程的一部分。
It is endlessly fascinating. I know that sounds sarcastic, but I'm being for real.
它充滿了無窮的魅力。我知道這聽起來諷刺，但我是實話實說。
So on this particular day, one of the ladies pipes up with, "Greg, you're a guy."
在這特別的一天，一個女士高聲說到："格雷格，你是一個男人。"
She is very observant, this one, for I am indeed a guy.
她觀察的很仔細，因為我確實是一個男人。
Then she says, "So I've been seeing this guy....Well, I think I have."
然后她說，所以我一直在跟這家伙約會...嗯，我覺得是約會。
I know the answer.
我知道答案了。
"See, we went to a movie and it was great. I mean he didn't hold my hand, but that's cool. I don't like to hold hands."
我們去看了電影，那很棒。我的意思是雖然他沒有牽我的手，那沒關系。因為我不喜歡牽手。
Still know the answer.
還是知道答案。
"But afterward he kissed me in the parking lot. So I asked if he wanted to come over, but he had a really important meeting in the morning so he didn't come over."
但后來他在停車場吻了我。所以我問他是否想來我家，但是他說第二天上午有一個非常重要的會議，所以他不過來了。
C' mon. Are you kidding me? Know it!
得了吧。你在開玩笑么？我就知道！
So I asked, "Have you heard from him?"
所以我問了，"他有聯系你么？"
"Well, that's the thing. This was like a week ago" —now you should know the answer— "and then today he e-mails me and is like, ‘Why haven't I heard from you?' "
"好吧，這就是問題所在。貌似是一個禮拜之前"——你應該知道答案了——"他給我發郵件說‘為什么你沒有聯系我呢？'"
I stared at her for a moment while the answer was bursting out of my eyeballs.
我盯著她看了一會兒，答案從我的眼球里呼之欲出。
Oh, ladies, you make me so mad sometimes!
噢，女士們，有時候你們真讓我抓狂！
Here is this beautiful, talented, super-smart girl, who is a writer on an award- winning TV show, a show known for its incisive observations about men, who you would think could have her pick of just about any dude around.
這是一個美麗、才華橫溢、聰明的女孩，她是一個獲獎電視劇的編劇，節目以其對男人深刻的見解而聞名，你會認為她可以自行選擇周圍的任何男人。
This superstar of a woman is confused about a situation that to me is so clear.
這個在超級巨星般的女人看來困惑不已的情況，對我而言是如此清晰。
Actually, confused is the wrong word, because she's too smart for that.
事實上不應該用困惑來形容，因為她遠比之聰明。
She's hopeful, not confused. But the situation is hopeless, so I broke the news to her: "He's just not that into you."
她是對此抱有期望，而不是困惑。但這個情況是無望的，所以我把消息告訴了她：他只是沒那么喜歡你。
And let me tell you, that's the good news, because wasting time with the wrong person is just time wasted.
讓我告訴你吧，這其實是個好消息，因為把時間浪費在錯誤的人身上只是浪費時間。
And when you do move on and find your right person, believe me, you're not going to wish you had gotten to spend more time with Stinky the Time-Waster or Freddy Can't-Remember-to-Call.
當你繼續前進，找到合適你的人時，相信我，你不會希望你花了更多時間在浪費時間的臭小子或忘記打電話的弗雷迪身上。
