Translation of "Bachelors" in French

Are you bachelors?

- Êtes-vous des bacheliers ?
- Êtes-vous célibataires ?

Just as there are few fat "old maids," there are few fat bachelors.

De la même manière qu'il y a peu de grosses vieilles filles, il y a peu de gros jeunes hommes célibataires.

- Saying they could not support both a wife and an airplane, the two brothers therefore spent their lives as bachelors.
- Because they "could not both support wife and airplane" the two brothers spent their lives as bachelors.
- Both brothers said that they couldn't support both a wife and an airplane, so they spent their lives as bachelors.
- The reason both brothers gave for remaining bachelors was that they couldn't support both airplanes and a wife.

Prétextant qu'ils ne pouvaient entretenir à la fois une femme et un avion, les deux frères sont restés célibataires toute leur vie.
