Instead, use the beginning of a relationship to establish the division of labor,
如果刚开始就建立起恰当的分工模式，
just as Nora Ephron's dialogue in When Harry Met Sally reminds us:
就像电影《当哈利遇上莎莉》中的一段对白提醒的那样：
Harry: You take someone to the airport, it's clearly the beginning of the relationship.
哈利：送某人去机场，这显然是一段关系的起点。
That's why I have never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship.
那就是为什么我从不在一段关系的开始送某人去机场。
Sally: Why?
莎莉：为什么？
Harry: Because eventually things move on and you don't take someone to the airport and I never wanted anyone to say to me,
哈利：因为要是后来关系还继续发展，我不送她去机场时可不想听到她说：
"How come you never take me to the airport anymore?"
“你怎么再也不送我去机场了？”
If you want a fifty-fifty partnership, establish that pattern at the outset.
如果你想要一位能够平等相处的伴侣，那么从一开始就要建立起平等的关系。
