2021雅思口语进阶之路-成就篇 10-16--第1页 10 The Silence of Male’s Friendship The silence of men in general is overtalked about and overcriticized . To be sure, men never open up as much as women want them to, but there is a wordless understanding in which we function fairly well especially in friendships. I believe, in fact, that most women would prefer a man to beglumly uncommunicative than to [1] spill his guts at the drop of a hat. The push for men to express their feelings presumes that we have feelings, and we do have a few, bu they remain submerged, and the [2] airing of them often violates their authenticity. I am no biologist, but my guess is that the male human animal was programmed for silence. I would go so far as to argue that men were programmed to be isolated from one another and that aloneness is our natural state. Silence in male friendships is our way of being alone with each other. Once men have established a friendship, that itself is the word. The affection is obvious, at least to us. A main component of our silence is an appreciation of the obvious. overtalk /❖/ v. 过多地谈论 overcriticize /❖/ v. 过分地指责 wordless // adj. 无言的 glumly // adv. 阴郁地 ❖ uncommunicative / / adj. 沉默寡言的 submerge // v. 淹没 violate /❖/ v. 破坏  authenticity / / n. 真实性 biologist// n. 生物学家 isolate // v. （使）孤立 affection //n. 友爱 component // n. 成分 参考译文 男人间无声的友谊 男人的沉默往往被过多地谈论且过分指责了。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，但我们却能很好地运用无言的理解，尤其是在维
