论婚姻与单身中文译文of marriage and single life

婚姻和单身生活之间权衡利弊英语作文English: Being married and living a single life both have their pros and cons. Marriage offers companionship, support, and the opportunity to start a family, but it also comes with responsibilities, compromises, and potential conflicts. On the other hand, being single allows for independence, freedom, and self-discovery, but it may also lead to feelings of loneliness, lack of emotional support,and societal pressures to settle down. Ultimately, the decision between marriage and single life depends on individual preferences, values, and life goals. Some people thrive in the companionship and stability of marriage, while others prefer the freedom and flexibilityof being single. It is important for individuals to carefully weigh the benefits and challenges of each lifestyle before making a choice that aligns with their personal happiness and well-being.Translated content: 结婚和单身生活都有其利弊。

Of Marriage and Single Life ----Francis BaconHE THAT hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection and means, have married and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason that those that have children, should have greatest care of future times; unto which they know they must transmit their dearest pledges. Some there are, who though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times impertinences. Nay, there are some other, that account wife and children, but as bills of charges. Nay more, there are some foolish rich covetous men, that take a pride, in having no children, because they may be thought so much the richer. For perhaps they have heard some talk, Such an one is a great rich man, and another except to it, Yea, but he hath a great charge of children; as if it were an abatement to his riches. But the most ordinary cause of a single life, is liberty, especially in certain self-pleasing and humorous minds, which are so sensible of every restraint, as they will go near to think their girdles and garters, to be bonds and shackles. Unmarried men are bestfriends, best masters, best servants; but not always best subjects; for they are light to run away; and almost all fugitives, are of that condition. A single life doth well with churchmen; for charity will hardly water the ground, where it must first fill a pool. It is indifferent for judges and magistrates; for if they be facile and corrupt, you shall have a servant, five times worse than a wife. For soldiers, I find the generals commonly in their hortatives, put men in mind of their wives and children; and I think the despising of marriage amongst the Turks, maketh the vulgar soldier more base. Certainly wife and children are a kind of disccipline of humanity; and single men, though they may be many times more charitable, because their means are less exhaust, yet, on the other side, they are more cruel and hardhearted (good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon. Grave natures, led by custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands, as was said of Ulysses, vetulam suam praetulit immortalitati. Chaste women are often proud and froward, as presuming upon the merit of their chastity. It is one of the best bonds, both of chastity and obedience, in the wife, if she think her husband wise; which she will never do, if she find him jealous. Wives are young men"s mistresses;companions for middle age; and old men"s nurses. So as a man may have a quarrel to marry, when he will. But yet he was reputed one of the wise men, that made answer to the question, when a man should marry, - A young man not yet, an elder man not at all. It is often seen that bad husbands, have very good wives; whether it be, that it raiseth the price of their husband"s kindness, when it comes; or that the wives take a pride in their patience. But this never fails, if the bad husbands were of their own choosing, against their friends" consent; for then they will be sure to make good their own folly.论结婚与单身自古至今，有妻儿子女者已经把幸运做了抵押，因为家庭是重大事业（无论是美德还是恶行）的拖累。

论婚姻和单身生活著者：培根译者：马尾丝有了家室的人，把自己抵押给了财富，因为无论其家庭是良是莠，都是他们通往成功的阻碍。

的确，最好的、最为公众称道的作品，来自于没有家室的人。

因为他们同时拥有情感和财富，并把自己献给他们的爱妻——公众。

人们选择不结婚的重要原因是他们知道，对于那些有子嗣的人来说，应该尽最大的努力去考虑将来，去养育亲爱的子女。

有些人虽然单身，但是他们只考虑自己，认为未来是不相干的事。

不仅如此，还有人认为妻儿只是一堆账单。

甚至，一些愚蠢、贪婪的有钱人以没有孩子为傲，因为他们可能因此而被认为更富有。

或许他们曾经听到这样的对白：“这个人非常富有，”另一个人反驳说，“是啊，但是他有很多孩子要养呢”。

说得好像子女是对财富的一种削减。

但是单身最普遍的理由是为了享受自由，尤其是对于那些自我陶醉、性格乖张的人来说，他们对任何束缚都很敏感，以至于他们在婚后会把妻子视为手铐脚镣。

未婚者是最好的朋友，最好的主人，最好的奴仆，但并不总是最好的臣民。

因为他们容易叛离，几乎所有的叛离者都是单身。

单身者适合做牧师，因为只有拥有了满池清水，才能用博爱之心浇灌土地。

然而，单身者不宜做法官和行政官，因为如果他们失掉了原则，沦陷贪污，就必须有一个比妻子更糟糕的仆人。

对于士兵，我发现将军总是鼓励士兵想起他们的妻儿；我也认为土耳其人对婚姻的厌恶使粗俗的士兵更加粗俗。

事实上，妻儿是一种对人性的克制。

对单身者来说，虽然在很多时候他们会因为钱财消耗较小而更具博爱之心；但是在另一方面，他们也更加残忍、铁石心肠（这倒是适合做一个宗教的法庭审判官），因为他们的好心肠并不总能被调动起来。

男人最重要的天性，就是日常生活中的好丈夫，这是生活习惯所致，是持久不变的。

正如尤利西斯所说，他宁要老伴，也不要长生不死。

忠贞的女人通常都是骄傲任性的，因为她们寄托于贞操所带给她们的优势。

如果她的丈夫是聪明的，贞操和顺从就是她作为妻子最好的承诺之一；如果她的丈夫是嫉妒多疑的，那么她将永远不会坚守这些。

“婚姻与单身生活”
人们都有不同的偏好，有些人喜欢结婚，有些人喜欢单身生活。

然而，这两种生活方式各有利弊，因此需要对比来看出其中的差异。

首先，结婚的生活更有安全感，并且可以让夫妻在彼此之间建立更加牢固的关系。

另一方面，单身生活可以让一个人具有更大的自由度，不必担心伴侣的情绪，也不用在家里承担责任，可以更专注于自己的事情上。

同时，结婚对家庭的稳定性有着重要意义。

夫妻之间的爱情和信任能够使家庭更加和谐，从而帮助子女成长和发展。

然而，单身生活可以让一个人更加独立，在这样的环境中，他们可以更加清楚的了解自己的需求，从而更好的发展自己的事业。

此外，结婚也可以帮助夫妻之间分担家庭开销，并且有助于夫妻之间的财务保障。

尤其是那些家庭收入不高的人群，财务上的支持能够使他们更加安心。

另外，单身者可以将更多的金钱和精力放在职业发展和事业上，这对于他们来说也是一个很大的利好。

综上所述，结婚和单身生活都有其独特的优势，人们可以根据自己的需求和实际情况，选择最适合自己的生活方式。

然而，无论选择哪种方式，都应该把安全、健康和财务保障放在首位，确保自己能够享受到最安全和舒适的生活环境。

Of Marriage and Single LifeIn this essay, Francis Bacon presents his preference of marriage to single life with convincing arguments. He thought that marriage makes a man be full of responsibility and love. He preferred marriage to single life.In the essay, he listed the advantages and disadvantages of the marriage and single life. He first stated that married men are not easy to get successful. Because of family, you cannot go off on a reckless and gre at adventure, just as Bacon said “He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.” Second, unmarried men viewed wife and children as bill of charges. People have the children “as if it were an abatement to his riches”. Without the wife and children, they can reduce the consumption. Third, they can pursue the liberty without the bondage from the family. “T he most ordinary cause of a single life, is liberty, especially in certain selfpleasing and humorous minds, which are so sensible of every restraint , as they will go near to think their girdles and garters, to be bonds and shackles.” However, married men can benefit a lot from the wife and children.“Certainly wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity.” They can be more tender and more warm-hearted. Also, “Grave natures, led by custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands…” It can be good for the society. What’s more, to Bacon, “Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.”It is my conviction that everyone has his choice to be single or be married. But for me, I’d love to choose to be married. First, once married, it means that you have the heart of belonging. You are not alone any more, your husband or wife and children keep you accompany and be always with you forever. No matter what difficulties you have faced, your family will be your harbor that always gives you energy and encouragement. Second, marriage is the good guarantee of your future. When you are old, your husband or wife and children will get along with you. Maybe sometimes there are quarrels in the daily day, but variety is the spice of life, you will experience different pleasures of life. Even though once married, you will have more responsibility with your family. But when you are tired, there is a place you can stop and have a rest.In some people’s mind, being single means being more freedom. You can do what you want to do. You can take risks. You have more choices to try your life. However, you are easy to be utterly dispirited and depressed when no one looks after you. Sometimes you will feel lonely, just like the while world abandonsyou. No one will be your companion, they are just the traveler of your life.As matter as I am concerned, compared with the single life, I preferred to be married. In the whole life, family is really an amazing thing. This cannot be substituted for friends or others. Everyone has his choice and this is my choice.。

Marriage Versus Single Life: Weighing thePros and ConsIn the intricate tapestry of life, the choices we make define our paths. One such pivotal decision that often occupies the minds of individuals is the choice between marriage and single life. Both paths offer unique advantages and disadvantages, and the decision ultimately depends on personal preferences, values, and life goals.**Marriage: The Pros**Marriage is often seen as a symbol of love, commitment, and partnership. It provides a sense of stability and security, knowing that there is someone who will support you through the ups and downs of life. Marriage also brings about a sense of community and belonging, as it often involves merging two families and creating a new one. Additionally, married couples often enjoy shared experiences, such as raising children, building a home, and planning for the future.**Marriage: The Cons**However, marriage also comes with its own set of challenges. For instance, there may be differences in opinions, values, and goals between partners, which can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. There is also the added responsibility of caring for a family, which can be both emotionally and financially draining. Additionally, married individuals may find their personal freedoms limited, as they need to consider the needs and wants of their partner and children.**Single Life: The Pros**On the other hand, single life offers a sense of freedom and independence. Individuals are free to pursue their own interests, goals, and ambitions without having to consult or妥协 with anyone else. There is also the flexibility to change one's lifestyle, habits, and routines without having to worry about affecting another person. Additionally, single individuals have the option to form meaningful relationships with others, without the added responsibilities of marriage or children.**Single Life: The Cons**However, single life also has its drawbacks. There may be a sense of loneliness and isolation, especially during challenging times when there is no partner to lean on for support. There may also be a lack of stability and security, as there is no one to share responsibilities or provide a safety net in case of emergencies. Additionally, single individuals may find it difficult to plan for the future,as they lack the support and resources that a partner or family can provide.**Weighing the Options**Ultimately, the choice between marriage and single life depends on individual preferences and life goals. Some people may prefer the stability and support of marriage, while others may value the freedom and independence ofsingle life. It is important to consider one's own needs, wants, and values when making this decision. It is also essential to be realistic about the challenges and responsibilities that both options entail, and to prepare oneself accordingly.In conclusion, both marriage and single life have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. The key is to findthe path that aligns with one's values, goals, and preferences. Whichever choice one makes, it is important to remain open and honest with oneself, and to be willing to adapt and grow along the way.**婚姻与单身生活：权衡利弊**在生活的复杂织锦中，我们所做的选择决定了我们的道路。
