“All the Single Ladies,” Kate Bolick, The Atlantic
《所有单身女士》，凯特·波利克，《大西洋月刊》
Kate’s story on the current state of marriage, and men, and women, is sad and happy and fascinating, and just generally makes me want to give her a high-five and roll cigarettes with her, even though neither of us smoke.
凯特关于当前婚姻状况、男人和女人的故事，悲伤、快乐、引人入胜，通常让我想和她击掌并和她一起卷烟，尽管我们都不抽烟。
“Ask an Abortion Provider,” Dolores P., The Hairpin
“询问堕胎提供者”，Dolores P.，《发夹》
Dolores P.
多洛雷斯·P.
wrote this for The Hairpin, the website I edit, and when she first sent it to me—out of the blue—I cried, and then I cried again when it was published, and the comments were so beautiful, but especially when someone left this comment: “I am pro-life, and was very moved by Dolores’s article.
这篇文章是为我编辑的网站 The Hairpin 写的，当她第一次把它发给我时——出乎意料地——我哭了，然后当它发表时我又哭了，评论是如此美丽，但尤其是当有人留下这样的评论时：“我是反堕胎的，并且被多洛雷斯的文章感动了。
Although I really struggle with the ethics behind abortion, I recognize that in the end it’s all about people trying to figure out the best thing to do with their lives.” I had never seen that kind of response before.
尽管我确实对堕胎背后的伦理道德感到挣扎，但我认识到，归根结底，这都是人们试图找出人生中最好的事情。”我以前从未见过这样的反应。
Actually there must have been at least five times I cried about things having to do with that piece.

It made me proud to work where I work.
