　　How To Be Single And Happy : Learn to appreciate your single status. Here are five things that singles sometimes take for granted。
　　如何做个快乐的单身贵族：学会如何看到单身的好处。以下是单身之人必做的五件事。
　　Step 1:Sleep
　　When you're single, no one's nagging at you to get up or counting the hours that you've spent in bed. You are left in peace with your box fan and body pillow. Sleep all day guilt-free!
　　1.睡觉没人烦
　　当你是单身时，不会有人唠叨着让你起床，也不会有人替你计算你已经躺在床上多少小时了。只有你，电风扇和一个抱枕，没人来打搅你。不要有愧疚感，睡上一整天吧！
　　Step 2:Money
　　When you're single, there's no joint account. You can do whatever you want with your money. There's none of that "what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours" foolishness. No household budget. Go ahead and buy that hideous, life-size statue of Wayne Newton. Put it in the middle of the living room. No one is the boss of you!
　　2.花钱真方便
　　当你是单身时，就不存在什么夫妻共同账户了。你的钱你可以随便花。不存在那句傻傻的“你的就是我的，我的就是你的”。也不用搞什么家庭预算。想买那个看上去丑丑的，真人大小的牛顿塑像吗？买就是了。把它摆在卧室中间。没人能管的了你！
　　Step 3: Career
　　Work all night, all weekend if you want to. Then socialize with the boss until 2:00AM or later. Your married co-workers can't compete. They've got "commitments". You win by default! And when that headhunter calls, there's no one holding you back. Pack up and move wherever the fattest paycheck is waiting。
　　3.工作上优势多
　　如果愿意的话，你可以工作开夜车，周末加班。那样，你就可以和老板出去一直到凌晨2点。你的已婚同事都做不到这一点。他们都肩负着家庭责任。而你恰恰是赢在了“不用履行责任”上。某日，猎头公司打来电话，你也没有什么挂念的，卷起铺盖卷儿，哪里有钱赚就奔向哪儿！
　　Step 4: Rejection
　　When you're single, rejection is your friend. If you're on a bad date, make up some excuse and get the heck out of there. You don't have to ever see her again。
　　4.可以毫不犹豫地拒绝别人
　　当你是单身时，向他人说不是你常爱干的事儿。如果约会时感觉不太好，那就编点借口让对方一边儿去。以后你也没必要再见到她。
　　Step 5: Amuse Yourself
　　See how much laundry you can fit into the washer. Create a new dish out of the few things you have left in the cupboard and eat it in the middle of the night. Become a pro at belching the alphabet. The possibilities are endless。
　　5.自娱自乐
　　试试看，看你能往洗衣机里塞多少衣服。用橱柜里剩下的不多的材料做一道新菜，并在午夜的时候吃。嗝打的长点儿的，并试着成为这方面的专家。一切皆有可能。
