臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
It's time to liberate companionship from the shackles of coupledom, and make it as widely and as easily available as sexual liberators wanted sex to be. In the meantime, we should strive to make ourselves as much at peace as we can with the idea of being alone for a very long time.
現在是時候要將伴侶關系從夫妻關系的枷鎖中解放出來了,并使其像性解放者想要的性關系一樣地廣泛且容易獲得。同時,我們也應該努力讓自己盡可能安然接受長期處于單身也沒關系的這個想法。
