《戀愛的犀牛》#2: ”犀牛“ / Rhinocero‘s in Love #2: Rhinoceros
我不是个浪漫的人,也不会说很多甜言蜜语、比喻修辞。我比较会用实际行动:照顾你、支持你、来看你、帮助你、听你说话、帮你解决问题、替你出主意,确保你的未来可以跟我在一起、花时间了解你、记住你的喜好、了解你的深层动机和逻辑。有时间就联系,但也会因为得不到回应而默默切断联系方式。我是一个这么实际的人,表达爱意的方式就是见到你、时时刻刻在你身边。我会用我的方式保护你,我会在你不留意的时候、偷偷帮你,你错过的事情、提醒你。重要的决定,会给你建议。我也是个不那么懂潜台词的人,我会告诉你:我喜欢你。我会告诉所有人:我喜欢你。我会反复地告诉你,每天多次,直到你不再怀疑。
我不相信远距离,我不知道那是什么意思。人都见不到了,还有什么联系?我不懂。人与人之间的磁场即便可以感应,如果不能相见,对我来说会过于煎熬到宁愿放弃。我没耐心,我想见到你、立刻见到你、多远我都会来。
我喜欢钻牛角尖,好像和我妈一样有些“听话不懂”。用语言表达的爱意似乎我们消化起来总要慢半拍,我们是行动派。爱你,就会一直陪着你。
ChatGPT translation:
I’m not a romantic person. I don’t say sweet things, I don’t use metaphors or fancy language. I express things through actions—taking care of you, supporting you, coming to see you, helping you, listening to you, solving problems for you, thinking things through for you, making sure your future can be with me, spending time getting to know you, remembering what you like, understanding your deeper motivations and logic. If I have time, I’ll reach out—but if I don’t get a response, I’ll quietly cut off contact. I’m that kind of practical person. My way of showing love is to see you, to be around you all the time.
I’ll protect you in my own way. I’ll help you when you’re not paying attention, remind you of things you’ve missed. For important decisions, I’ll give you advice. I’m also not great with subtext. I’ll tell you: I like you. I’ll tell everyone: I like you. I’ll tell you again and again, many times a day, until you stop doubting it.
I don’t believe in long-distance. I don’t even know what that means. If I can’t even see you, what kind of connection is that supposed to be? I don’t get it. Even if people can feel each other’s presence from afar, if we can’t meet, it’s too painful for me—I’d rather give up. I’m impatient. I want to see you, right away, no matter how far I have to go.
I tend to overthink, maybe like my mom, a bit “tone-deaf” when it comes to emotional cues. Words of love always take us a little longer to process. We’re action-driven. If we love you, we’ll stay with you.
