182.Finding Men, Pt. 1
182.寻找男人(1)
Marge did whatever she did after one of her friends reached the bottom of the barrel to find her a date: she went to the library!
一位朋友使用最后一招帮她寻找到一个约会对象之后，马吉该干什么还干什么：她去了图书馆！
It was there, in the rare book collection, that she felt safest.
只有在那个地方--珍本书系列收藏处，她才感到最安全。
She was a rare breed and she knew it，but she could read those men like a book.
她是那种少见的人，她自己知道，但她却对那些男人了如指掌。
They only wanted one thing; to reach first base, then second and third and then score a home run! Not with her!
他们只想一件事：跨出第一步，然后第二步、第三步，然后进攻得分！她才不吃这一套呢！
And so she just avoided them. Books were safer.
因此她对他们总是躲得远远的。看书更安全。
The next day, at a book reading, Marge found herself raving about the idiocy of men to her few friends!
第二天读一本书的时候，马吉发现自己正跟几个朋友狂骂男人的愚蠢！
Why couldn't they read between the lines and give a woman what she wanted, romance?
他们为什么不能领会言外之意给女人想要的爱情呢？
One of her friends thought she was reading too much in to a few bad dates. There were good men out there, she said.
她的一位朋友认为她是在对那几次失败的约会凭推断妄加猜想。还是会有好男人的，她的朋友说。
There might be a lower ratio of good men to good women, yes, but you also had to reach out yourself to find them.
好男人对好女人的比例可能要小一些，这一点是真的，可你还是要亲自和他们接触去寻找他们。
Not just hide in the library! That stopped Marge's ranting and raving!
而不是就那样把自己藏在图书馆！这番话止住了马吉的大叫大嚷！
Maybe she should try and find a date herself, rather than always waiting for blind dates through her girl friends?
也许她应该试着自己找一个约会对象, 而不是老等女朋友们介绍的一些相亲？
Then she wouldn't always be reacting to their bad choices!
那样的话，她就不必总是对她们的不好的选择做出反应了！
That evening Marge reached an agreement with her friends not to find men for her.
那天晚上马吉和朋友们达成了一个协议：她们不再为她寻找男人。
Instead Marge wrote down a promise and read it out to them that she would try and find her own dates!
相反，马吉写下诺言并对她们进行宣读：她将想办法寻找自己的约会对象！
They all clapped and asked her to read it through a second time! She did. She started her new approach to dating the very next day!
她们都拍手叫好并要她再读一遍！她真的读了。第二天她就开始了新的约会方式！
