歪國仁如何看待中國男士幫女士拎包
Purse Strings, GuysIt's Time to Cut Those
文Murray Greig
Where I come from Canadian northwest—there are only two acceptable reasons for a man to carry his lady's purse: 1) she is holding a baby (preferably his); 2) she is holding a gun.
End of discussion.
But take a stroll through any Beijing shopping mall or trendy hutong, and you will quickly discover the exact opposite holds true here.
Y ou'll see veritable legions of young men enthusiastically contorting themselves into pathetic①pathetic 英 [p?'θet?k] 美 [p?'θ?t?k] adj. 可憐的,悲哀的;感傷的;乏味的 同義詞:poor , sad , melting , stupid"I suppose every filmmaker has the naive, even pathetic dream that his film could be the one that finally stopsa war, " said Maoz., panting pack mules ... weighed down by backpacks and 1 0-gallon Prada purses while their sweethearts sashay alongside, texting on their cellphones.

So make a solemn resolution for 2016, guys: Cut those purse strings, and watch more TV. No need to thank me. Your salvation is my reward.
我來自加拿大西北部在我們那里只有在兩種情況下男士才會(huì)為女士拎包:1.她懷里抱著孩子(如果是他的最好);2.她拿著一把槍。
沒有其他商量的余地。
但當(dāng)你在北京逛商場或者胡同里溜達(dá),你很快會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在幫女士拎包方面跟我們那里截然不同。
你會(huì)看到大批充滿活力的年輕男生總是積極地爭做可憐的驢子,背上背著沉重的雙肩包和大大的Prada包,而他們旁邊的女友邊走邊扭地在手機(jī)上發(fā)著信息。
中國的男士們,相信我!我年紀(jì)已經(jīng)很大啦可能離開中國之后就再也不回來啦,但是我不希望看到你們也陷入令人不舒服的社會(huì)怪癖之中,就跟北美大部分地區(qū)在過去10年里所經(jīng)歷的一樣。
盡管我一句話也不懂,但是最近中央電視臺(tái)播出的關(guān)于成吉思汗的紀(jì)錄片里描述了成吉思汗作為一位堅(jiān)毅勇敢的偉大征服者的戎馬一生,里面就一次也沒出現(xiàn)過他背著侍妾的鞍囊的畫面。
所以,男士們,從2016年開始,不要再為身邊的女士拎包啦,還是多看點(diǎn)電視吧!不用謝我,你對(duì)自己的救贖就是對(duì)我的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。
