Are you a person of child-bearing age thinking about trading in your United States citizenship for a spouse in a country with robust social-welfare infrastructure? Have you always dreamed of being part of a big, successful, artistic family? Do you enjoy meatballs, snow, and remaining neutral during conflicts?

你是否正值生育年龄,正考虑用你的美国公民身份,换一个社会福利体系健全国家的配偶?你是否一直梦想着成为一个庞大、成功、艺术气息浓厚的家族的一员?你喜欢肉丸、雪景,以及在冲突中保持中立吗?

Then you might be the perfect candidate for a Skarsgård Green-Card Marriage. (Green cards are called something else in Swedish, but grönten-korten didn’t workshop well.)

那么,你或许就是斯卡斯加德家族绿卡婚姻的完美人选。(绿卡在瑞典语里有别的叫法,但“grönten-korten”这个说法反响不佳。)

Each one of our lucky clients will be expertly matched with a Skarsgård sibling, which are indeterminate in number. Skarsgårdologists estimate that while there’s no more than forty-one Skarsgård offspring, there are certainly no fewer than seventeen.

我们每一位幸运的客户,都将与一位斯卡斯加德家族的兄弟姐妹进行专家级配对,他们的具体人数尚不确定。据斯卡斯加德学家估计,斯卡斯加德家的后代虽然不超过四十一人,但肯定不少于十七人。

Your unique profile will be run through our database of between seventeen and forty-one Skarsgård profiles, for a potential seventeen to forty-one matches! Our rubric will pair you with the Skarsgårds with whom you have the most compatibility, and we’ll reach out to each of their agents to see if they’re into it.

你独一无二的档案,将在我们包含十七到四十一位斯卡斯加德成员的数据库中运行,可能产生十七到四十一个配对!我们的匹配标准会将你与兼容性最高的斯卡斯加德配对,然后我们会联系他们各自的经纪人,看看他们是否感兴趣。

If that sounds statistically far-fetched, do not be discouraged. There’s many a Skarsgård for us to approach before declaring you unSkarsgårdable, and we definitely have not yet burned bridges with all seventeen to forty-one of their respective agents.

如果这听起来在统计学上希望渺茫,别灰心。在宣布你与斯卡斯加德无缘之前,我们还有大把的斯卡斯加德可以尝试,而且我们肯定还没跟这十七到四十一位成员的所有经纪人都闹翻。

By marrying into the Skarsgård family, you will be weaving yourself into the very fabric of Sweden, a peaceful country with a rich and distinctive culture, to which it’s not easy to gain citizenship. Skarsgårdologists believe that this was the motivation behind Stellan Skarsgård, the patriarch, having procreated as much as he did—to provide the less developed world with a multitude of paths to Swedish citizenship. Why else would he possibly have had so many kids, if not to furnish the less developed world with a cache of intensely offbeat indie actors as an off-ramp from crumbling democracies? The demand is high, but thanks to Stellan, so is the supply.

通过嫁入斯卡斯加德家族,你将把自己编织进瑞典的肌理之中。瑞典是一个和平的国家,拥有丰富而独特的文化,要获得其公民身份并不容易。斯卡斯加德学家认为,这正是族长斯特兰·斯卡斯加德(Stellan Skarsgård)如此多产的动机——为欠发达世界提供多条通往瑞典公民身份的路径。不然他为什么要生这么多孩子,如果不是为了给欠发达世界储备一批风格极其怪异的独立演员,作为逃离分崩离析的民主国家的出口?需求很高,但多亏了斯特兰,供给也很充足。

Once we pair you with your optimal match, you’ll receive a photo and an IMDb link so you can start familiarizing yourself with your unique Skarsgård’s avant-garde filmography right away. Soon after, communication will be initiated and the process of acquaintanceship will begin.

一旦我们为你匹配到最佳人选,你将收到一张照片和一个IMDb链接,这样你就可以立刻开始熟悉你那位独一无二的斯卡斯加德的前卫电影作品。不久之后,我们将启动沟通,相识的过程也将随之开始。

While your Skarsgård match might reach out via e-mail or text, other communication methods may include messages delivered in bottles lobbed from fishing vessels into the Baltic Sea, unsigned vintage postcards, or through a trained raven. You should also leave yourself open to being contacted through “vibes” (via kånslor).

你的斯卡斯加德配对对象可能会通过电子邮件或短信联系你,但其他沟通方式也可能包括:从渔船上投入波罗的海的漂流瓶传递的信息、未署名的复古明信片,或通过一只训练有素的渡鸦。你还应该敞开心扉,准备通过“感应”(vibes,瑞典语作 kånslor)被联系。

The Skarsgård courtship period can vary in length, ranging from instant chemistry at a Scandinavian yarn barn to decades spent wandering a dark, emotional tundra punctuated only by a disorienting thirty-nine hours of consecutive daylight during a Swedish Midsummer.

斯卡斯加德家族的求爱期长短不一,可能是在斯堪的纳维亚的纱线谷仓里一见钟情,也可能是在一片黑暗、情感荒芜的冻原上徘徊数十年,期间仅被瑞典仲夏节期间那令人迷失方向的、连续三十九个小时的白昼所打断。

Despite some common themes, the trajectory of your own Skarsgård relationship will be uniquely determined by Skarsgårdian free will, Nordic jurisprudence, and increasingly unpredictable ice floes.

尽管有一些共同的主题,但你与斯卡斯加德恋情的发展轨迹,将独特地由斯卡斯加德式的自由意志、北欧的法理,以及日益不可预测的浮冰共同决定。

You may be wondering, with odds like these, exactly how many of our matches have resulted in marriage and Swedish citizenship. While the success rate of Skarsgård Green-Card Marriages is currently at zero (noll), we’re encouraged by the odds of one in seventeen to forty-one Skarsgårds eventually being worn down enough to settle for one of our alluring clients. (Technically, one client was briefly engaged to Shemp Skarsgård, but things were called off when it came to light that she had lied on her application about liking coffee.)

你或许会好奇,面对这样的概率,我们的配对究竟有多少成功走向了婚姻和瑞典公民身份。虽然斯卡斯加德绿卡婚姻的成功率目前为零(noll),但我们仍对十七到四十一位斯卡斯加德中,最终会有一位被磨得足够疲惫,从而愿意将就我们某位魅力十足的客户这一概率感到鼓舞。(严格来说,曾有一位客户与申普·斯卡斯加德(Shemp Skarsgård)短暂订婚,但后来因她在申请表上谎称自己喜欢咖啡而告吹。)

But don’t focus on the negative. One in ten Skarsgårdologists agree that securing a successful marriage and Swedish citizenship through our service is within the realm of quantum possibility, making it more likely than surviving the fall of the two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old empire that you’re currently trapped in. Seems like a no-brainer (a term which has yet to force its way into the Swedish lexicon).

但别总盯着消极面。十分之一的斯卡斯加德学家同意,通过我们的服务成功获得婚姻和瑞典公民身份,属于量子可能性的范畴,这比你从目前困住你的那个两百五十年帝国崩塌中幸存下来的概率还要高。这似乎是个无需动脑的选择(这个词尚未强行进入瑞典语的词典)。

Reach out today to secure your seat at the smörgåsbord of survival by maybe marrying a Skarsgård. One in ten Skarsgårdologists can’t be wrong! ♦
