丁克式的生活肤浅，对于种族繁衍和家族延续毫无贡献，反而“促进”了西方文明的衰落。

The DINK lifestyle can be a shallow one, adding nothing to the propagation of the race and family line, and contributing to the decline of Western civilization.

我认为我们可以非常准确的推断出西方文明衰落的年代。

I think we can date the decline of Western Civilization quite precisely.

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

我不是说我们必须盛装打扮或者赶上潮流(尽管我大力推荐这样做)，也不是对如今休闲服装和T恤衫如何代表了西方文明衰落的一种诽谤。

I'm not talking about dressing up or staying in fashion (although I highly suggest it), and this is not a diatribe on how casual Fridays and T-shirts represent the decline of Western civilization.
