做个快乐的单身贵族：一个人生活的五大好处

How To Be Single And Happy : Learn to appreciate your single status. Here are five things that singles sometimes take for granted。

如何做个快乐的单身贵族：学会如何看到单身的好处。以下是单身之人必做的五件事。

Step 1:Sleep

When you're single, no one's nagging at you to get up or counting the hours that you've spent in bed. You are left in peace with your box fan and body pillow. Sleep all day guilt-free!

1.睡觉没人烦

当你是单身时，不会有人唠叨着让你起床，也不会有人替你计算你已经躺在床上多少小时了。只有你，电风扇和一个抱枕，没人来打搅你。不要有愧疚感，睡上一整天吧!

Step 2:Money

When you're single, there's no joint account. You can do whatever you want with your money. There's none of that "what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours" foolishness. No household budget. Go ahead and buy that hideous, life-size statue of Wayne Newton. Put it in the middle of the living room. No one is the boss of you!

2.花钱真方便

当你是单身时，就不存在什么夫妻共同账户了。你的钱你可以随便花。不存在那句傻傻的“你的就是我的，我的就是你的”。也不用搞什么家庭预算。想买那个看上去丑丑的，真人大小的牛顿塑像吗?买就是了。把它摆在卧室中间。没人能管的了你!

Step 3: Career

Work all night, all weekend if you want to. Then socialize with the boss until 2:00AM or later. Your married co-workers can't compete. They've got "commitments". You win by default! And when that headhunter calls, there's no one holding you back. Pack up and move wherever the fattest paycheck is waiting。

3.工作上优势多

如果愿意的话，你可以工作开夜车，周末加班。那样，你就可以和老板出去一直到凌晨2点。你的已婚同事都做不到这一点。他们都肩负着家庭责任。而你恰恰是赢在了“不用履行责任”上。某日，猎头公司打来电话，你也没有什么挂念的，卷起铺盖卷儿，哪里有钱赚就奔向哪儿!

Step 4: Rejection

When you're single, rejection is your friend. If you're on a bad date, make up some excuse and get the heck out of there. You don't have to ever see her again。

4.可以毫不犹豫地拒绝别人

当你是单身时，向他人说不是你常爱干的事儿。如果约会时感觉不太好，那就编点借口让对方一边儿去。以后你也没必要再见到她。

Step 5: Amuse Yourself

See how much laundry you can fit into the washer. Create a new dish out of the few things you have left in the cupboard and eat it in the middle of the night. Become a pro at belching the alphabet. The possibilities are endless。

5.自娱自乐

试试看，看你能往洗衣机里塞多少衣服。用橱柜里剩下的不多的材料做一道新菜，并在午夜的时候吃。嗝打的长点儿的，并试着成为这方面的专家。一切皆有可能。

不要吝惜你的帮助 The Power of actions

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived -- I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

婚礼英文：坚守那些一辈子的誓言

"For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish"：结婚誓词是婚礼上最重要的部分，发自肺腑的寥寥数语是两人对婚姻和一辈子的坚定承诺。让我们一起来聆听那些洗练而凝重的结婚誓词……

We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together (Groom’s Name) and (Bride’s Name) in holy matrimony; which is an honorable estate, instituted of God, since the first man and the first woman walked on the earth. Therefore; it is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly. Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined.
