台湾的MM们不怕当"剩女"

  Ms. Chen's career as a professional singleton began in 2004; a cosmetics-company employee living at home with her family, she launched a blog, www.wretch.cc/blog/illyqueen. (Her royal title was inspired by friends' remarks that she had a regal air.) In 2007 her first book, 'I Am Queen' sold 100,000 copies, and now she's a full-time writer and celebrity, dispensing advice on modern relationships via her blog and at paid lectures.

  陈丽仪宣扬女性独身主义的事业始于2004年,当时她在一个化妆品公司上班,跟家人住在一起,她开了一个博客(朋友说她颇具皇室气质,她灵机一动就把自己取名为“女王”。)2007年,她出了第一本书《我是女王》,卖出10万本,现在成为全职名人作家,通过博客和收费演讲传播自己对现代两性关系的建议。

  At the nightclub dinner, sponsored by a make-up brand, Ms. Chen, wearing a stretched black-and-white striped sweater over a pair of purple stockings, hands out prizes, gives effusive speeches and poses for pictures with guests, mostly avid readers of her blog.

  夜店的晚宴由一个化妆品品牌赞助,陈仪丽身穿一件加长的黑白条纹羊毛衫,腿着紫色裤袜,不时分发奖品,做煽情的演讲,与来宾合影留念,后者大多数是她博客的粉丝。

  Strictly speaking, Ms. Chen, 30, is no longer a singleton. She's in a relationship that's lasted two years, and is even thinking of marrying her boyfriend -- though she's not sure she wants children, particularly if they might get in the way of her career.

  严格说来,30岁的陈仪丽不再是独身女性,她已经跟男朋友交往两年,甚至到了谈婚论嫁的地步。不过,她还不确定是否要生孩子,尤其是如果孩子会阻碍她事业发展的话。
