HIV and AIDS 人体免疫缺陷病毒和获得性免疫缺陷综合征 Till death do us part 直到死神将我们分开 Putting numbers on infidelity 细数出轨之罪 ONE of the problems of dealing with a sexually transmitted disease, such as AIDS, is thatpeople routinely lie about their indulgence in the sorts of behaviours which pass it on. 谈到性病,比如艾滋病,难题之一便是人们通常会隐瞒自己的纵欲史,而这恰恰是导致染病的原因。 That makes knowing where to put your effort harder than it need be. 我们此刻恍然大悟,夫妻之间想要保证忠诚应该花更大力气。 And in no area do people lie morethan on the question of infidelity. 而且,在对婚姻不忠这个问题上,人们撒的谎比其它地方撒的谎都多。 The naive outsider might be forgiven for thinking that infidelity was likely to be animportant way that HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, is spread. Until now, however, thatwas mere supposition. 如果围城之外的人们天真的认为艾滋病毒扩散的主要传播途径可能与婚外偷腥有关,那么我们可以原谅他们。当然,现在看来那也仅仅是猜测罢了。 |
