學(xué)業(yè)時(shí)間的延長、工作的壓力、生活方式的改變，使得越來越多的年輕人延后了談婚論嫁的年齡。但姑娘們?cè)谡夷杏训臅r(shí)候也要擦亮眼睛，謹(jǐn)防“有毒單身漢”。

Toxic bachelor is an unmarried man who is selfish, insensitive, and afraid of commitment.
“有毒單身漢”指的是自私、感覺遲鈍、懼怕承諾的未婚男性。

They also refer to men who remain single past 40. 40 is a race-dependent number. Asians can be considered toxic bachelors if they remain single past 31.
超過40歲的單身男士也被稱為有毒單身漢。40歲是一個(gè)與種族相關(guān)的年齡界限。亞洲人超過31歲還沒結(jié)婚就會(huì)被認(rèn)為是有毒單身漢。

They can be grouped in following two broad categories:
“有毒單身漢”常可分為以下兩大類。

1) Those who are always looking for the next best thing, due to some underlying issue that prevents them from forming a long term relationship.
1) 由于一些潛在的問題使他們總不能形成長期的戀愛關(guān)系，他們總在尋找下一位交往對(duì)象。

2) The ones who have a Peter Pan complex and just never want to grow up.
2 有彼得潘情結(jié)，永遠(yuǎn)不想長大。

Most of these toxic bachelors seriously consider settling down once they have a mid-life crisis and see the writing on the wall. Then they try to get married in a hurry to have kids, and to ensure their own immortality through their offspring.
大多數(shù)有毒單身漢在遇到中年危機(jī)或者迫在眉睫的麻煩之后會(huì)認(rèn)真考慮安定下來。之后他們急于結(jié)婚生子，以確保有后代來延續(xù)。
