2. You're shy and/or not very outgoing:
你比較害羞,或者不夠外向
Whether we like it or not, people who are outgoing tend to get noticed and that includes getting noticed by the opposite sex. Where does that leave shy single people? We're just not that likely to get noticed if we don't make eye contact with others and make a point of trying to get to know them. It's a sad fact, but true。
不管我們是否認同,外向活潑的人更容易引人注意,包括吸引異性的注意。那些害羞的單身人士可難辦了。如果我們不和別人進行眼神的交流,也不表現出我們渴望了解他們,我們就不太可能引起他人的注意。聽起來挺叫人難過,不過這是事實。
Being shy is at least 50% genetic so there's only so much we can do to overcome this. The good news is that there are lots of shy single people out there — admittedly, the hard part is hooking up, but it happens, so don't despair。
害羞至少有一半原因來自遺傳,所以我們仍然可以去克服它。好消息是還有很多害羞的單身人士。不過不得不承認,難點在于你們如何跟他們搭上腔,但成功的例子也確實會發生,所以別絕望。
