[08:17.01] The silence of men in general is overtalked about and overcriticized.
[08:20.39] 男人的沉默往往被过多地谈论且过分指责了。
[08:23.77]To be sure, men never open up as much as women want them to,
[08:26.80]可以肯定的是,男人从未像女人所希望的那样开诚布公地说出自己的心里话,
[08:29.83]but there is a wordless understanding
[08:32.05]但我们却能很好地运用无言的理解，

[08:59.66]presumes that we have feelings,

[09:06.29]不错，我们确实有一些，
[09:09.07]and the airing of them often violates their authenticity.

[09:14.32]I am no biologist,
[09:16.09]我不是生物学家，
[09:17.87]but my guess is that the male human animal was programmed for silence.
[09:21.41]但我猜想男人这种动物天生就是沉默寡言的。
[09:24.95] I would go so far as to argue that men were programmed
[09:27.73]我甚至认为男人天生就是彼此孤立的孤独是我们的自然状态。
[09:30.51]to be isolated from one another and that aloneness is our natural state.
