I have a friend, proposed to his sweetie. He was an economically rational person.
我有個朋友，向他女友求婚。他是個會過日子的人。
He said to his sweetie, "Let us marry. Let us merge our interests."
他對他女友說，“咱們結婚吧。讓咱們融合利益。”
Yes, he did. "I love you truly," he said.
是的，他這么說的。“我真心愛你，”他說，
"I love you deeply. I love you more than any other woman I've ever encountered.
“我深深愛著你。我愛你勝過其他任何女人。
I love you more than Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope, Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel -- I was on a German exchange program then.
我愛你勝過Mary，Jane，Susie，Penelope，Ingrid，Gertrude，Gretel--我那時候在一個德國的交換項目里。”
I love you more than --" All right. She left the room halfway through his enumeration of his love for her.
“我愛你勝過...” 好的！她在他列舉到一半的時候離開了房間。
After he got over his surprise at being, you know, turned down, he concluded he'd had a narrow escape from marrying an irrational person.
在他從被拒絕的驚訝中緩過來之后，他總結了他剛剛成功逃離和一個不理性的人結婚的厄運。
Although, he did make a note to himself that the next time he proposed,
雖然他也對自己說，下次求婚的時候，
it was perhaps not necessary to enumerate all of the women he had auditioned for the part.
不必要列舉所有過往的女朋友。
But the point stands. You must look for alternatives so that you find your destiny, or are you afraid of the word "destiny"?
但是這個論點是成立的。你必須尋找各種選擇，才能找到命中注定的那個，或者你害怕“命中注定”這個詞么？
Does the word "destiny" scare you? That's what we're talking about.
“命中注定”這個詞嚇著你么？這就是我們要談的。
