經常，逛逛別人家總是有驚喜!! 原文 譯文 For men making 500000 or over -A question from a real woman Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth. 在這個版上有沒有人賺超過50萬呀?百萬富翁的老婆?有人可以給我點提示嗎?我曾經釣過一個年薪20-25萬的商人，但是這大概就是極限了。年薪25萬連紐約中央公園西邊的邊都碰不上。我知道一個跟我一起上瑜珈的女人嫁給一個銀行家，然後住在翠貝卡區(Tribeca是下曼哈頓的高級商業區)，她既沒我漂亮，也不是什麼天才。那她到底做對什麼事?到底我要怎麼才能跟她一樣? 原文 譯文
這就跟散步散到轉角口，迎面猛的被暴衝的拉布拉撞倒一樣的未及；也像巷弄裡的No mark飯館，永遠不知道沒菜單的廚師下一道會端什麼樣的菜。
話說，之前下流美轉了一篇貼在Craigslist的佈告，之後法蘭西和他朋友Stella、凱特也連袂參了一手...
Moo跟Tingh一樣，是那種看到English Homepage就會按上一頁的懶蟲，原先對這篇留言興趣缺缺，即使它開宗明義的說明它是如何的好笑，但通篇英文，Moo實在吃不下...想不到，好心的MEB把它翻成了平易近人親切可愛的中文，並且加註一些註解讓人更了解文意(一整個感謝阿~)
大意是說，有一位25歲的Miss Pers-439179541，上網請教哪裡有多金男...
(ㄟㄟ，MEB那一夥人翻得蠻鄉土的，順便學學英文也不錯，想偷懶就看譯文囉~)

What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful(spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes atleast half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.
Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
Here are my questions specifically:
好了，我實在受夠了一直兜圈子，那就直說了。我是一個漂亮的(讓人驚豔的那種)25歲女生。我善於表達又時髦。我並非來自紐約。我要找一個年薪至少50萬美元的老公(約合1,600萬台幣)。我知道這聽起來有點誇張，但是請記住，在紐約，年薪百萬也不過就是個中產階級而已，所以我一點也不覺得這有啥不得了的。
我的問題重點就是：

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:
I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.
Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!
So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!
So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.
Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout.
By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.
With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump". I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
親愛的pers-439179541：
不管怎樣，妳還是可以試著自己賺錢，那我們就不需要聊得這麼辛苦了。
果真應了男尊女卑；男人與女人的搶手程度與年齡呈反比；這個世界只准男人放火、不許女人點燈...
要是女人說："喲喲，玩玩而已"，男人必定群起攻之，斥之為天下之大恥，嗤之以公共汽車之名；男人要是玩玩，那可是成了英雄偶像炙手可熱呢!!
女人外遇遭天打雷劈，男人外遇要原諒他一時情迷?只要男人哭哭啼啼跪求諒解，這女人還要站出來大聲疾呼狂喊"我支持他(他...他...他...請自行加上回音)，是那個妖精狐狸拐了我那純情小寶貝"，充分自曝女人的花瓶茶杯角色，像薩爾科奇那樣的奇葩當今世上幾人??ㄘㄟˊ~
嚇!!年薪1,600只是中產階級!!美金有這麼好賺??
雖然這位小姐想法不儘成熟，說正格的，一個外貌、文化、世故及持家都完美，優質又讓人驚豔的25歲女子，除非是宅女，不然，男人一定蜂擁而至，別急啦!!一昧幻想世下枝頭鳳凰的蠢夢，搞不懂分人錢財就得看人臉色，要講互相尊重八竿子等下個輪迴唄；君不見男人擇友條件再嚴苛，人家只稱讚眼光獨到，而女人不過大剌剌的說說自己現實上的想法，男人便很狠批她的不是...只差沒明講"要娶妳別想，要做雞我倒是可以考慮考慮..."
這兩人讓Moo誤以為，人的標準是：女人=美色、男人=金錢，女人認為只要年輕漂亮就是優?男人認為自己收入豐碩就是條件好?有趣的是，男女間也彼此默認了對方的要求就是女男間的標準，美色與金錢相互交換抗衡，好破的原始訴求啊...(純粹只是因為上面Miss 439179541和Mr. 432279810)
除了覺得兩人的論談有笑點之外，還，看到什麼??
ㄎ，Moo不平些啥啦~笑笑就好，別太認真，當笑話看是真的蠻有趣的，只是背後隱喻太沉重...
ㄟ~別把Moo的嘮騷看得太過，不過就是一坨止不住的屎罷了...
