第1191期：离婚可以很优雅，也可以很当当当
昨天全世界媒体头条大概都是盖茨离婚的消息。大媒体更关注盖茨基金会以后怎么办，小媒体关注首富财产怎么分割，吃瓜群众等着看小三。
说了不怕你笑话，我听了这个消息后第一反应居然是——盖茨叔以后还会继续分享书单吗？
离婚这件事本来很普通，这些年被有些人搞得太戏剧化了，弄复杂了。
离婚可以很 ugly，也可以优雅，就像盖叔盖婶儿这样，或者像当年 Gwyneth Paltrow（格温妮丝·帕特罗）那样为离婚发明了一个漂亮的委婉说法 —— consciously uncoupled.
或者像当年 Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston （贾斯汀·特鲁）离婚时说的那样 two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple.
英语中关于离婚有几种委婉的说法：
- I’m between marriages right now.
- We’re doing some matrimonial restructuring.
- The positions of “husband” and “wife” were eliminated.
- I’ve been relieved of my marital duties.
- We decided to take things in a different direction. Away from being married.
- My husband went to live on a farm with a nice family.
缘分尽了，恩怨参半，毕竟曾经一场夫妻，保留一丝优雅，给彼此一个句号，开始明天新的生活。这样挺好。
看到几则名人关于离婚的名言很好玩，跟你分享：
- My husband and I have never considered divorce. Murder sometimes, but never divorce. ~ Joyce Brothers
- Ah, yes, divorce . . . from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.~ Robin Williams
- My mother always said don’t marry for money, divorce for money. ~ Wendy Liebman
- You don’t know a women till you’ve met her in court. ~ Norman Mailer
