分享到
“Just one more shop!” — the dreaded words every man fears, and no man believes.
“最后再看看这家!”——男士们最怕听到这句话,他们也知道这绝对不会是最后一家。
A hilarious Instagram account has surfaced called “Miserable Men”, which features a series of photos of downtrodden men who have involuntarily been taken out shopping.
Instagram上有一个搞笑主页,名字直截了当就叫“悲惨男人”,里面是各种惨被拉去陪逛街的男性的照片。
The feed perfectly captures the response that women all around the world expect to receive when they try to make a shopping partner out of their significant other — anguish, despair and sheer misery.
世界各地的女性在让另一半陪自己逛街时,一定也都会预料到他们最终的这个样子:郁闷、绝望、痛苦至极。而这个Instagram主页完美捕捉到了男人们的这些痛苦瞬间。
The feed features miserable men of all shapes and sizes — despondent dads, bummed-out boyfriends and even a couple of gloomy granddads — painstakingly waiting to escape from the insufferable purgatory that is the mall.
这些“痛苦男性们”有高有矮,有胖有瘦,有的是陪女儿来,有的是陪女友来,甚至还有几位是陪孙女来的……总之都是一副失魂落魄、垂头丧气的样子,随时准备逃离这炼狱般的商场。
Other than documenting the plight of miserable men worldwide, the account acts as a sort of support group, too.
除了真实记录下男人们的悲惨处境,主页君还热心地为这些男同胞支招儿。
Captions offer helpful nuggets of advice such as, “Don't forget to charge your phones so you have something to do for the next 4 hours,” and, “Remember #miserablemen, when she asks if it looks good, tell her it looks great.”
这些启发性的建议包括:“别忘了提前给手机充电,这样你在接下来4小时的等待中才不至于完全没事儿做。”“记住‘悲惨君’的这句话——当她问自己穿那件衣服好不好看时,一定要说‘棒极了’。”
