Another Valentine's Day. Another night spent ordering in sushi for one and mooning over 'Downton Abbey' reruns. Smarten up, ladies. 又是一年情人节。又一个晚上要在一边叫外卖寿司、一边观看《唐顿庄园》(Downton Abbey)的重播中度过。女士们，聪明点吧。 Despite all of the focus on professional advancement, for most of you the cornerstone of your future happiness will be the man you marry. But chances are that you haven't been investing nearly as much energy in planning for your personal happiness as you are planning for your next promotion at work. What are you waiting for? You're not getting any younger, but the competition for the men you'd be interested in marrying most definitely is. 尽管女性在职场上取得的进步深受关注，但对于大多数女性而言，未来幸福的基石仍然是你与之结合的那个人。但很大的可能性是，你为谋求个人幸福投入的精力远远不及你为自己下一次升职所投入的精力。你还在等什么？须知你已青春不再，然而对于你为之倾心、有意委身的男子，你肯定要面对越来越年轻的竞争对手。 Think about it: If you spend the first 10 years out of college focused entirely on building your career, when you finally get around to looking for a husband you'll be in your 30s, competing with women in their 20s. That's not a competition in which you're likely to fare well. If you want to have children, your biological clock will be ticking loud enough to ward off any potential suitors. Don't let it get to that point. |
