双语：10招助你2017告别“单身狗”

　　If you're without a person to kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve and you're not happy about it then it's time to take the bull by the horns when it comes to finding love in 2017.

　　如果你在新年前夕无人接吻，同时你也因此而感到不悦，那么就要在2017年大胆地去寻找爱情。

　　Instead of being passive and spending time swiping on different apps to find the one, the author of How to find a Prince and Marry Mr Right, George Watts, has some golden rules to follow.

　　不要再被动，也不要花时间在各种app上寻找爱情，《如何找到白马王子并与他成婚》的作者乔治·瓦特提出了一些黄金规则。

　　DON'T BE LAZY!

　　不要懒惰！

　　Nowadays we all tend to be a bit lazy about the whole thing, thinking we can just sign up to an app or website and happiness will just land on our laptops. Wrong. The dating environment is more competitive than ever and therefore you need to give 200 per cent if you are really in the zone to make a success of it.

　　现在，我们都倾向于对所有的事情懒惰，认为只要在一个app或者是网站上注册，幸福就会到来。大错特错！约会环境比以往任何时候都要激烈了，因此如果你真的想要成功，就要付出2倍的努力。

　　IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM, MOVE ON

　　如果不爱，那就离开

　　Never persevere with someone for the sake of it when you know it's time to move on.

　　永远不要在你知道是时候离开了还要纠缠他人。

　　Reserving energy is paramount in this game, because finding 'the one' can be both mentally and physically exhausting.

　　保持体力是首要的，因为找到“TA”可能会令你身心俱疲。

　　RELAX AND STOP SECOND GUESSING

　　放松、不做事后诸葛

　　We tend to try and second guess what the other person is thinking when on a date, but it's important to remember that they are in the same boat too and we should just let go of all that pointless anxiety.

　　我们倾向于试图事后揣测别人在约会时想着什么，但是请记住他们和我们的处境相同，我们应该让所有无关紧要的焦虑都散去。

　　DON'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE TO FIND 'THE ONE'

　　不要为了找到“TA”而改变自己

　　Don't try and morph into something you are not to please anybody else. Just be yourself and let nature take it's course…

　　不要为了取悦他人而试图改变自己。做自己就好，顺其自然……

　　SECOND DATES ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE FIRST

　　第二次约会和第一次约会同样重要

　　GET SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAY CUPID

　　让别人扮演红娘

　　FIND A HOBBY

　　培养一个爱好

　　Think about your hobbies or interests and hunt out a local group you can join to help meet people with similar interests.

　　想想你的爱好或兴趣，在当地找一个你能够加入的团体，从而帮助你与志趣相投的人相遇。

　　LOVE YOURSELF

　　爱惜自己

　　If confidence is an issue, try to embrace and love you a little more before beginning to think about anyone else.

　　如果你缺乏自信，那么试图在考虑别人之前爱自己多一点。

　　STOP AND THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU WANT

　　不要幻想你想要的未来

　　The problem is most of us don't stop and think about the future when we are in the thick of something that seems to be going well.

　　问题即是，我们大多数人在事态向好之时就会去思考未来。

　　This is a fatal error because actually what we need to do is exactly that – stop and think.

　　这是一个致命的错误，因为我们需要的正是停止幻想。

　　AND FINALLY…

　　最后是……

　　Routines breed boredom, a little randomness is also good for both heart and soul and your relationship too.

　　惯例会滋生厌倦，稍微随性对双方的心灵和灵魂以及你们的关系也有好处。
