留美老师带你每天说英文 第909期:伴侣关系的解放

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

It's time to liberate companionship from the shackles of coupledom, and make it as widely and as easily available as sexual liberators wanted sex to be. In the meantime, we should strive to make ourselves as much at peace as we can with the idea of being alone for a very long time.
