字幕

I got a vasectomy after our son was born. My wife and I both decided you know we’re done.

我在儿子出生后就做了输精管结扎术。我和我妻子都决定不再要更多孩子了。

And after he went through the baby stage and we were done with diapers. We’re like no. We’re not doing this again.

在经历过婴儿阶段，我们受够了尿不湿之后，我们不想再经历一次了

The process was super easy. 整个过程非常简单

I went to planned parenthood. I had a brief consultation. They asked me some basic questions like do you understand that this is permanent.

我去了计划生育协会，做了一个简短的咨询。他们问了我一些基本问题，比如“你是否明白这是永久性的？”

And really that was about it. They wanted me to know what the procedure was that I was getting

他们想让我了解自己要做的这个手术

Next week, I went in and I got the procedure one. It was really quick .

等到下一周我就进去把手术做了。而且挺快的

The procedure took less than fifteen. It was super quick.

手术不到15分钟，超级快

They use a local anesthetic. It feels like a pinch. And then you go home. My wife drove me home because they told me I should have someone to drive me home and I think that was just because in case you take some kind of pain meds or something like that that you might not be able to drive home

他们使用局部麻醉剂，感觉像被捏了一下。然后你就回家了。我妻子开车送我回家的，因为他们告诉我应该让人送我回家。我想那只是为了预防我吃了止痛药什么的，你可能不能开车回家

I probably would have been fine 我应该是没什么问题的

You do have some discomfort for like a few days 你确实有几天不舒服

I remember having a weird feeling down there for like a couple weeks

我记得好几周下面都有一种奇怪的感受

Honestly, it’s better than the dentist. I’d rather get a vasectomy than a root canal

老实说，这比看牙医好多了。我宁愿结扎也不愿去做根管治疗

But the benefits are fantastic 但好处真是妙不可言

Do you know how much my wife worries about getting pregnant? None. 你知道我妻子对怀孕多担心吗？完全不

Not even a little bit. None at all. 一点都不担心

And I think a lot of the fears that people have are not based in reality

我认为人们很多恐惧都是基于误解的

It doesn’t affect hormone production 它不会影响荷尔蒙分泌

It doesn’t affect testosterone levels 不会影响睾丸激素水平

It doesn’t affect performance in any way 它不会影响任何方面的性能

Everything before and after getting a vasectomy is exactly the same except my wife won’t get pregnant 结扎手术前和手术后的一切都完全一样，唯一的区别就是我妻子不会再怀孕了

And honestly this feels like a no-brainer if you Google what the procedure is like for a vasectomy versus the equivalent surgery for a woman

如果你上网查一下男性结扎和女性等效手术的对比，就会发现选择男性结扎根本是毋庸置疑的

Why would you ever choose the one that is a really brutal intensive surgery

intensive 解释【ChatGPT】

在句子 “a really brutal intensive surgery” 里，intensive 的含义并不是“短时间内集中进行的课程”那种，而是它更广义的、引申出来的意思：

✅ 对应词典义：involving a lot of work or activity done in a short time（短时间内高强度的；密集的）

但放在 surgery（手术） 前，含义会自然转化为：

👉 “非常耗费体力/技术、强度高、过程严酷的手术”

也就是：

手术过程复杂

对身体打击大

手术时间可能很长但强度集中

整体属于“高强度的手术”

🌟 中文可理解为：

强烈的/高强度的手术

大手术

创伤性强的手术

为什么不用 intense？

因为：

intense → 描述情绪、感受、程度（intense pain, intense fear）

intensive → 描述活动、过程本身的强度（intensive care, intensive treatment）

手术是一种过程，所以用 intensive 更自然。

如果你愿意，我可以帮你重写这句话，模拟 native speaker 的语感！

你为什么会去选那个既残忍又复杂的大手术呢？

The way our anatomy is set up everything is right there like on the outside

我们的生理结构把东西都放在外面了

it’s barely a surgery 这几乎算不上是手术

And yes there is a risk of complications but you’re not gonna die which seems like a ridiculous argument to make but that is a risk for women who get pregnant and it is a risk for women who have a much much more intensive surgery

是的，有并发症的风险，但你不会死的。这个说法听起来挺荒谬的，但这确实有让女性有着怀孕的风险，还有让女性面对大型手术的风险

So as men, we can be strong and we can handle just a little bit of mild discomfort for a very short amount of time

所以作为男人，也可以承受很短时间内的一点点不适
