回归现实的“硅谷爱情”
昔日硅谷,新贵层出不穷,被单身女子视为寻找梦中王子的场所;今日硅谷,因为股票暴跌,男人不再趾高气扬,女人也不再挑三拣四。
During one incredible(难以置信的) month in its dotcom heyday(全盛期), Silicon Valley(硅谷) was minting(创造) 64 millionaires(百万富翁) every day, many young and mostly male. Magazines and Internet sites profiled(描述) male tech magnates in all their Palm-Pilot splendor(光采), inviting women to drool over " Hunks of the Web."
But when the dotcom bubble(泡沫) deflated(泄气), hot air left the singles scene, too. Men are less arrogant(傲慢自大的), women less choosy(挑剔的).
where ads in the late 1990s hinted at(暗示) expensive lifestyles, today's wishlists(希望得到的东西的清单) are "more down to earth." And where women once demanded men with impeccable(无懈可击的) social skills, they're now focusing on " his values, if he's interested in family" and are more open to " nerds."
