美貌短暫
Beauty is but a flower which wrinkle will devour.
(美人只不過是一朵花，終會被皺紋所吞沒。)
~Thomas Mashe(1560~1601)
單字:
wrinkle:皺紋 devour:吞沒 litany:祈禱 plague:瘟疫
美貌 是短暫的
內在的學識修養才是永恆的
因此
Choose a wife rather by your ears than your eyes.
(選擇妻子多用耳朵少用眼)
~Thomas Fuller (1608~6610
選妻需
聽其言 觀其行
因為
In the selection(選擇) of a wife as in a project(計畫) of war, to err but once is to be undone(破壞) forever.~Tomos Middleton(157?~1627)
(選妻猶如作戰計畫，錯一步則全盤皆輸)
故
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage and
half shut afterwards.
(婚前睜大雙眼，婚後睜一隻眼，閉一隻眼)
畢竟
Wives are young men’s mistresses(情婦);
companions for middle ages and old men’s nurses.
~Francis Bacon
(妻子是年情人的情婦；中年人的伴侶;老年人的看護)
請大家
擇其所愛
就要
愛其所擇
讓我們的愛情
是一場又一場的歡樂結局
而不是一場又一場的
悲苦騙局
