应老六要求，我把我当年在国内翻的一些王尔德的格言贴上来。
Men always want to be a woman's first love; that is their clumsy vanity. Women have a more subtle instinct about things;what they like is to be a man's last romance.
男人总想成为女人的第一位心上人，那是因为他们的虚荣心在作祟；女人则有更微妙的本能，她们喜欢成为男人最后的恋人。
Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are.
女人受到恭维从不会放松戒备；男人受到恭维总是忘乎所以。
Woman begins by resisting a man's advances and ends by blocking his retreat.
女人以抵抗男人的进攻为开端，而以截断其退路为结局。
Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
女人本来就是让人去爱的，而不是让人理解的。
Wicked women bother one; good women bore one; that is only difference between them.
坏女人让人烦恼，好女人让人厌烦；这就是她们之间唯一的区别。
There is only one real tragedy in a woman's life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and future invariably her husband.
女人生活中只有一个真正的悲剧，她的过去总是属于她的情人，而她的未来则总是属于她的丈夫。
The one charm of marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessaryfor both parties.
婚姻的魅力之一是它使得欺骗性的生活成为双方绝对的需要。
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should not marry.
人应该总是处于热恋中，因此人不该结婚。
The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding.
结婚的真正基础是彼此误会。
Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious. Both are disappointed.
男人结婚是因为他们累了，女人结婚却是因为好奇。结果，双方都大失所望。
One can always recognize women who trust their husbands. They look so thoroughly unhappy.
你总可以一眼看出对丈夫百般信任的的妻子，因为她们看上去很不快乐。
A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.
男人只有不爱上女人，和她在一起就会快乐。
Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love; it is faithless who know love's tragedies.
那些对爱忠实的人仅了解爱情无足轻重的一面；只有不忠实的人才知道爱情的悲剧所在。
Nothing spoils a romance so much as a sense of humor in the woman.
没有什么能比女人的幽默感更容易毁掉浪漫的爱情。
王尔德对女人和婚姻有着特别的偏见，这可能是他终身未婚，是个同性恋的缘故吧。
