女人40歲是怎樣 ?

這是美國 CBS 60 Minutes
( 六十分鐘 ) 主持人 Andy Rooney
對 40 歲以上的女人的看法 :

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all.
隨著年齡增長 , 我越來越珍惜 40 歲以上的女人

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the
night and ask,

40 歲以上的女人不會在半夜把你吵醒 , 然後問你 :

"What are you thinking?“
你在想什麼 ?

She doesn't care what you think.
她才不在乎你在想什麼。

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game,
40 歲以上的女人如果不想看球賽

she doesn't sit around whining about it.
她不會坐在你旁邊抱怨東抱怨西

She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

她會去做她想做的、更有趣的事情

Women over 40 are dignified.
40 歲以上的女人穩重自持

They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera

or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
不會在歌劇院或高級餐廳裡跟你大呼小叫

Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you
if they think they can get away with it.
當然 , 如果你罪有應得 , 她們也可能神不知鬼不覺地
一槍把你給斃了。

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.
熟女不吝於讚美  ( 不管是不是實至名歸 )

They know what it's like to be unappreciated. 因為她們親身體驗過被忽略的滋味

Women get psychic as they age. 女人越老越通靈

You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40

40 歲以上的女人遠比年輕美眉性感

Older women are forthright and honest.

They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one.

You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her
你完全不需要傷腦筋揣摩她的心意

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons
40 歲以上的女人有很多優點

For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40,
相對於每一個性感、迷人的 40 歲以上的女人

there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants
就有一個禿頭凸肚的熟男

making a fool of himself with some 20-year old waitress.
厚臉皮地跟小他 20 歲的美眉調情

Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say:
女士們 , 請容許我在這兒幫妳們說句公道話 :

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for Free?“
