就在这么一天，我在一家书店里看到了这些陈列着的月历。就在这之前不久，我还收到了一位读者的电子邮件，抱怨我浪费了太多无谓的时间去博取这个异性恋社会的认同。

I noticed a calendar display in a bookstore the other day just shortly after receiving an E-mail from a reader complaining that I waste too much time trying to win over straight society's approval.

说真的，我已经彻底放弃了去定义它，因为无论你给它什么样的定义，都不会找到一个一致认可的定义，最终的结果无非是浪费时间。

Seriously, I've totally given up on trying to define it, since whatever definition you come up with, there's simply no agreement to be found, and ultimately it ends up being a waste of time.

我去跑步，要是还得花30分钟寻找另一只球鞋，那让人泄气的时间浪费可能会让你最后连步都跑不成。

If I want to go for a run, but I have to spend 30 minutes looking for my other tennis shoe, that's a frustrating waste of time that might derail the run all together.
