Doubtless there exists in this world precisely the right woman for any given man to marry and vice versa; but when you consider that a human being has the opportunity of being acquainted with only a few hundred people, and out of the few hundred that there are but a dozen or less whom he knows intimately, and out of the dozen, one or two friends at most, it will easily be seen, when we remember the number of millions who inhabit this world, that probably, since the earth was created, the right man has never yet met the right woman.

➜ #7729416Ohne Zweifel findet sich auf dieser Welt zu jedem Mann genau die richtige Ehefrau und umgekehrt; wenn man jedoch in Betracht zieht, dass ein Mensch nur Gelegenheit hat, mit ein paar hundert anderen bekannt zu sein, von denen ihm nur ein Dutzend oder weniger nahesteht, darunter höchstens ein oder zwei Freunde, dann erahnt man eingedenk der Millionen Einwohner dieser Welt leicht, dass seit Erschaffung ebenderselben wohl noch nie der richtige Mann der richtigen Frau begegnet ist.

➜ #7730062Kuşkusuz bu dünyada her erkeğin ve kadının evlenmek için huyu huyuna, suyu suyuna tamamen denk birisi mutlaka vardır; fakat bir insanın sadece birkaç yüz kişiyle tanışma fırsatı bulduğu, bu birkaç yüz kişi içinden belki bir düzinesini yakından tanıdığı, bu bir düzinenin de ancak birkaçıyla dost olduğu göz önüne alınır ve de dünyada milyonlarca insanın yaşadığı hatırda tutulursa kolayca görülür ki dünya yaratıldığından beri doğru erkek doğru kadınla muhtemelen daha hiç karşılaşmamıştır.

➜ #7730831Несомненно, для каждого мужчины в этом мире где-то есть подходящая женщина, которая может стать ему женой, обратное верно и для женщин. Но если учесть, что у человека может быть максимум несколько сотен знакомых, из которых лишь дюжина, а то и меньше, тех, кого он знает близко, а из этой дюжины у него один или от силы два друга, то можно легко увидеть, что с учётом миллионов живущих на Земле людей, ни один подходящий мужчина, возможно, ещё не встретил подходящую женщину.

➜ #8375041의심의 여지 없이 세상에는 어떤 남자이든 정확히 딱 알맞는 여자와 결혼하거나 그 반대의 상황이 존재하지. 그런데 인간이 수백 명의 사람만 알고 지내는 사이가 될 기회를 갖는다고 생각해 보면, 또 그 수백 명 중 열여 명 쯤 이하만 잘 알 수 있고, 그리고 나서 그 열여 명 중에 한두 명만 친구가 될 수 있다면, 그리고 또 만일 우리가 이 세상에 살고 있는 수백만 명의 사람들만 기억하고 있다면, 딱 맞는 남자는 지구가 생겨난 이래로 딱 맞는 여자를 단 한번도 만난 적이 없을 수도 있을 거라는 사실을 쉽게 눈치챌 수 있을 거야.

➜ #8729769Senza dubbio esiste in questo mondo proprio la donna giusta per ogni uomo da sposare e viceversa; ma se si considera che un essere umano ha l'opportunità di conoscere solo poche centinaia di persone, e tra le poche centinaia che ce ne sono solo una dozzina o meno che conosce intimamente e tra la dozzina, uno o due amici al massimo, si vedrà facilmente, quando ricorderemo il numero di milioni che abitano questo mondo, che probabilmente, da quando è stata creata la terra, l'uomo giusto non ha mai incontrato la donna giusta.

➜ #8852665Нема сумње да на свету постоји савршена жена коју би сваки мушкарац желео да ужени и обрнуто; али када се узме у обзир да човек има прилику да се упозна са свега неколико стотина људи, и од неколико стотина људи да десетак или мање интимно упозна, а од тих десетак да буде пријатељ са највише једним или двоје, лако се види, када се сетимо да овај свет насељују милиони, да веорватно, откако је Земља настала, прави мушкарац још увек није нашао праву жену.
