是啊，而且没有人的性格是十全十美的，两个人在一起，关键还是看性格合不合。一个大男子主义者和一个女权主义者在一起，当然会彼此看不顺眼，天天吵架，但要是换成了大男子和小女人的组合，生活就很和谐了。

But if you switched to a male chauvinist and a meek girl, they'd have a very harmonious life together.

要我说，这全是些不实际的想法。虽然我也不认为共和党的候选人十全十美，但比民主党的实际多了。比如说保护本土企业的利益，降低贸易逆差。这才是保护国家利益。

If you ask me, those are all unrealistic ideas. Although I know the Republican candidate isn't totally perfect, he's a lot more practical. For example, protecting the interests of domestic enterprises, or reducing the trade imbalance. Now that's protecting the nation's interests.
