You're up in the middle of the night and again you're in trouble in love.

You had another discussion over dinner.

You tried to get them to see that sometimes

because of X you do Y and they respond with Z and it's unpleasant.

And they countered at first politely and then with mounting irritation

that even though A you think B and that's why C is maddening to them.

Both of you tried, pretty valiantly, to get your points across with calm and kindness.

Both of you managed to be more or less polite, more or less restrained, more or less grown up.

And by the end of two hours of conversation, you parted in an almost affectionate way and went to sleep in different rooms.

But it's not enough and you know it.

That's why you're up at 3am hearing the rain fall.

You're pursued by questions.

What do you keep doing wrong in love?

Do you even belong together with this obviously very nice person?

Why is it so hard?

You briefly wonder what it would be like to leave.

You picture some new dates.

But the picture soon curdles.

The horror of starting all over again with someone new.

You'd miss your partner.

You have a lot of shared memories.

There used to be, until quite recently, considerable hope.

You don't know what to do.

If only there was someone to speak to.

A wise, kind person who would know how to cut through this.

Then you realise that more than a solution, what you really want is someone who could understand how hard it is that there isn't one.

Someone who would just say, I know, I know.

Sometimes we don't need solutions.

We need sympathy for our impasses.

We need to know that we're not idiots for having the challenges we have.

That other sensible people have been here too.

That it could almost be okay to have this difficulty forever.

Maybe it's just one of life's givens.

That's when a bracing, pessimistic philosophy is called for.

The sort that says, of course you're miserable, you're alive.

Of course it's a mess.

Welcome to existence.

Of course love is a bit impossible.

You're a human being.

This isn't the first choice, naturally naturally.

You wanted to sort this out perfectly, the way you like to sort out other things perfectly, at work, in domestic life.

But this isn't a cupboard or an accounting document.

The number of people who have this area of life properly sorted out is minuscule, perhaps below 1%.

You have failed here, that's for sure, but you're not exceptionally stupid for that.

You're averagely mad, averagely emotionally perturbed,

and what you're trying to do is something exceptionally, extraordinarily, dementedly hard.

Poor you and poor all of us.

/æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: impasse /ˈɪmpæs/, madden /ˈmædən/

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
