走在奔三的路上：30岁女人该学会的7堂人生课

A proper quarterlife crisis involves a certain amount of disillusionment, ennui, boredom, fear, anxiety, and growing pains. But those terrifying sounding emotions are the ones that get all the press—how about giving that “growing” some props for once?
25岁以后，几乎每个人都会经历自我怀疑、情绪不稳、迷茫未来的阶段，这叫做1/4生命危机症候群。1/4生命危机表现为心理的幻灭感，对生活感到倦怠、无聊、恐惧和焦虑的一系列成长烦恼。但正是这些听起来可怕的情绪问题带来了所有的压力：我们如何才能为这些成长烦恼找到情绪支撑和慰藉呢？

You Know What Friendship Is
友情到底是什么

In high school or college, friendship was mostly a matter of geography—who you had classes with or who lived down the hall or joined the same club. Out in the real world for a while, you’ve learned that real friendship is made of tougher and—and dare we say it—better stuff. (Although just wait until you’re in your thirties and everyone’s getting married and having kids…that’s when the real test comes.)
在高中或者大学时代，友情其实就是建立在地域之上的：和你一起上课，和你同宿舍，或一起参加了某个社团。而在社会上，你会发现友情的建立会更加困难，甚至会更加物质化。（等你到了30岁，结了婚有了孩子，这才是真正考验友情的时候。）

Sunscreen Is Important
防晒霜很重要

Right around age twenty-five, you start to be able to tell who wears sunscreen and who’s a sun-worshipper—the sunscreeners still have dewy, youthful skin, while the tanners have the beginnings of crows-feet and brown spots. Which group do you want to be in?
当你到了25岁左右，你开始能分辨谁擦了防晒霜，谁爱晒太阳了。擦了防晒霜的女人都有一脸水嫩年轻肌肤，而那些爱把皮肤晒成棕褐色的人脸上就开始鱼尾纹和雀斑横生了。你会加入到哪个队列中去呢？

You Don't Know Everything
你不会通晓一切

Ever heard that saying, “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” College makes you feel like you’ve got it all figured out, and that blinds you to the truth—which is that you know so little, you can’t even comprehend how little you know. Luckily, the real world is quite handy at disabusing you of the notion that you’re a twenty-two-year-old font of wisdom. At work, in relationships… the more experience you get, the more you realize how much more you still have to learn.
经常听到人说：“没文化真可怕”。大学文凭让你感觉自己博学多才，而恰恰是这样的想法蒙蔽了真相：其实你什么都不懂，你甚至都还未意识到这一点。幸运地是，这个现实的世界会非常乐意让你明白：你只是个有着22岁头脑的小女孩。在工作中，在恋爱关系中，你经历得越多，你就会越发意识到自己还有那么多东西需要学习。
