結婚するかもしれないし、しないかもしれない。でも、私は私でしょ。結婚してもしなくても。

有可能結婚,也有可能不結婚。但是,我還是我自己啊!這跟結不結婚沒有關係。

Maybe I’ll get married, maybe I won’t. However, I’m still me. It doesn’t matter if I get married or not.

似乎在不久之前,家裡面的年長一輩的人仍會跟未嫁的女兒說:「女孩子最好的歸宿就是找個人嫁了,找到一張長期飯票。」好像把結婚當作女性生活的一個目標。但是,現在這個代,我不再認為女孩子一定要找一個歸宿(或為了阻擋八卦和嘮叨,隨意地決定終身大事);如果有幸找到一個很棒的人能相守一生,那是一個很難得的機會,當然應該好好把握。但是,如果不能找到那樣的一個人,女性過單身的生活,也不是一件壞事。女性的 identity 不該由她的婚姻狀況來定義。只要是人,他或她的 identity 都應該由他的生活、個人價值及觀念等等的東西來定義。長假片中的女主角說出了上面的這句話,讓我覺得深深感動。

It seemed not so long ago, the older generation in Taiwanese families would say to their unmarried daughters, ‘The best thing for a girl is to marry someone and find a long-term meal ticket.’ This is as if getting married should be one of the goals of a woman’s life. However, in this modern society, I don’t think women need to get married just for the sake of it (or marry someone just to stop all the nagging). If you are very fortunate and you meet someone who you can spend the rest of your life with, that is a very good thing and you should of course not let this opportunity slip away. However, if you couldn’t find this special someone, it is not at all a bad thing for women to live a single life. Women’s identity should not be defined by her marital status. One’s (no matter it’s a man or a woman) identity should be defined by one’s life, personal values and ideas etc.. The leading female character said the above passage and I’m deeply moved.
