为您找到与意大利式结婚相关的共24个结果:
众所周知国内结婚送礼是一件非常麻烦的事情,新人的亲友们往往要费尽心机准备礼物,还会担心新郎新娘不喜欢或不需要。那么美国人结婚怎么送贺礼呢,今天小编就给大家介绍美国人结婚送礼的普遍方式,可以值得在美国华人借鉴。
在美国,每对新人在婚礼举行之前,通常会向亲友们发出“结婚启示”和邀请,婚礼通常是在某一个教堂,饭店或露天的场所举办。届时,亲友们会从四面八方赶来参加婚礼,但是机票和酒店住宿的费用则都需要自己来负担。一个月前,我从北京飞往旧金山旅行,遇到了一个到圣地亚哥(San Diego)参加美国朋友婚礼的女孩儿,她的机票费用都是自己负担的。而在美国,无论你从哪里城市赶来参加亲友的婚礼,大家都是约定俗成地自己承担旅行的费用。
至于结婚礼物,新人会提前在一家很大的百货商店(Department Store)里的Wedding Registry (婚礼登记处)登记,然后通知亲友们他们已经在某家商场做了预定,以便亲友们知道需要到哪里为他们挑选新婚礼物。通常,在每家连锁百货公司的婚礼登记处,朋友们会用电脑查询新人指定的物品清单,以便了解新人的实际需求,然后从中挑选出自己愿意购买的物品送给新人,礼物的金额则是根据自己与新人的关系程度来决定,因为每种物品的价格都清清楚楚地列在清单上面,看起来一目了然。当然,如果你想自己为新人送上一份特殊的礼物,你也可以自己单独挑选,不必在这个清单里挑选。
当你为朋友选好礼物后,这个礼物对应的条目就会自动从电脑系统中划去,从而避免别的朋友重复挑选和购买。在美国,大型百货公司通常在各个城市都设有分店,所以在不同城市的朋友可以到当地的一家分店挑选礼物,因为每个商店的电脑系统都是联网的,客户不用担心。你只需输入新人的名字,就可以轻易地查到他们提供的礼物清单,这样便捷的方式无疑给所有人提供了最大的灵活性和自由度。
如果我们不用费尽心机为新人挑选新婚礼物时,我们就更愿意参加新人们的婚礼,并且送上诚挚的祝愿和关怀。

There is a newly dissension putting forward these days: Is it legally allowed for Chinese on-campus students to get married before they complete their courses? Some people prefer "yes" while some others prefer "no". Certainly a large number of people just cannot decide which side they should be stand.
近段时间出现了一个新问题:中国大学学生在完成他们的课程之前结婚是否合法?有些人说“是的”,有人则说“不”。当然有许多人无法决定应该站在哪一边。
In fact, the governments allow on-campus students to get married before they complete their course. There isn' t a regulation proclaimed in writing to forbid marriage of on-campus students. But it must affect those triers.In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married before they finished their college, however, it shouldn' t be advocated or encouraged. Because, for on-campus students, they play the role as learners. Their main task is to learn. If they married, their school work must be affected and they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable for future works. So, I believe: almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasoningly .
事实上,政府允许学生在毕业前结婚。并不是有明文规定禁止学生在校园结婚。但必须对那些想结婚的人肯定是有影响的。在我看来,不必要禁止学生在未毕业前结婚,而且不应该提倡和鼓励。因为,校园内的学生他们扮演的角色是学习者。他们的主要任务是学习。如果他们结婚了,他们的学业肯定会受到影响,也许他们都不能顺利毕业或不能胜任未来的工作。所以,我相信:几乎所有的在校学生会理性的处理这个问题。

《假结婚》(英语:The Proposal),于2009年上映的美国爱情喜剧片,由安妮·弗莱彻执导,彼特·查瑞尔编剧,桑德拉·布洛克和瑞恩·雷诺兹领衔主演,贝蒂·怀特、玛丽·斯汀伯根和格雷格·T·尼尔森出演配角。影片由曼德维尔影业制片,于2009年6月19日由试金石影业在北美发行。剧情主要围绕一位名叫玛格丽特·泰特的加拿大移民和她工作的美国公司工作下属安德鲁·帕克斯顿展开。泰特由于签证过期而即将被驱逐出境,即使一年后能再申请入境,她也将失去现在公司高管的职位。于是她急中生智,找来帕克斯顿假扮自己的未婚夫,并且为了避免移民局识破,两人一起到帕克斯顿位于阿拉斯加州的老家去给他奶奶祝寿。
电影的开发于2005年查瑞尔完成剧本时开始。主体拍摄工作从2008年3月到5月进行。电影收到的评价褒贬不一,评论家对剧本颇有微词,但大多赞赏了两位主角的表演和银幕上的化学效应。影片在商业反应上非常成功,全球总票房超过3.17亿美元,是2009年最卖座的爱情喜剧片。
玛格丽特·塔特(桑德拉·布洛克饰)是美国一家出版社的执行总编,严厉干练的她让同事无一不感到畏惧,其中包括期待成为编辑却从未受到赏识的安德鲁·帕克斯顿(瑞安·雷诺兹饰)。她是一位女强人,事业有成的她,某天突然被告知自己将被遣返回加拿大,于是她想个办法想通过假结婚来保留自己的工作,于是她向她的助理求婚,谁知最后她们真的好事成双啦。
正当政府官员开始调查他们是否为夫妻时,他们被迫利用周末去到安德鲁的家乡阿拉斯加州证明他们真的打算结婚。在那里,玛格丽特见到了安德鲁既好客又奇特的大家族成员,有安德鲁热情好客的母亲格蕾丝(玛丽·斯汀伯根饰)、强势的父亲乔(格雷格·T·尼尔森饰)和坦率又淘气的90岁女家长安妮(贝蒂·怀特饰)……然而家人们并不知道他俩的真正关系,因此他俩为了隐瞒而闹出不少笑话。而与此同时,玛格丽特与安德鲁之间的关系慢慢地发生了化学反应,玛格丽特发现了安德鲁家原来很富有,安德鲁在与前者接触的过程中发现她并不是那么死板,虽然玛格丽特最后觉得对不住良心,在婚礼现场说出了假结婚的真相,但最后安德鲁还是回到纽约把她追了回来,真的结了婚。

如何挑选结婚的良辰吉日,对于英国的新人们来说也是一件大事。选择结婚日期有什么讲究,应该避免哪些问题呢?这些问题让即将结婚的新人们头疼脑大。现在就让小编来介绍一下英国人如何挑选一个婚的良辰吉日吧~
在过去,星期日是结婚的热门选择,因为人们在这一天不用上班。17世纪,清教徒认为在安息日大婚不合适,从而让这一习俗走上了末路。现在,星期六成为了新人们喜结连理的繁忙日子,尽管与下面小诗所暗示的相悖:
Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday best of all,
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
Saturday for no luck at all.
关于一年中什么时候适合结婚,有这么一句俗语:五月结婚,你将感到懊悔。这句俗语可追溯到异教徒时代。五月作为夏天的开始,被认为是户外纵欲的最佳季节 (夏季的五朔节)。因此,五月不是开始新婚生活的好日子。据说维多利亚女王曾禁止她的孩子们在五月结婚。十九世纪,在4月30日这一天,牧师们总是忙得不可开交,因为新娘们不乐意在即将到来的五月结婚。
人们常常把太阳和性刺激、生育联系在一起。按照苏格兰传统,新娘要“跟随太阳步行”:在教堂南面,由东边走到西边,然后围绕教堂走三圈,方向与太阳在天空上移动的相一致,以求好运气。
英国有一首传统的小诗,述说着不同月份结婚的含义。让我们来看看英国人在新婚吉日的选择上有些什么偏好与忌讳吧~
Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind & true,
When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden & for Man.
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.
Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bred.
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine.
If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.
根据这首小诗,原来新年一月、晚春四月、神殿九月、荒凉阴冷的十一月,瑞雪兆丰年的十二月才是大婚的好季节啊!不过仁者见仁,智者见智啦!

一说到婚纱,脑子里自然反应出来的便是白色的婚纱,而今,越来越多时尚的新娘会选择其他颜色的婚纱来衬托她的美丽。在英国,婚纱的颜色可不是能随便选的哟,不同的颜色有着不用的含义,有好也有坏~那么,应该如何选对婚纱颜色呢?
今天,大部分的新娘会穿着象征纯洁的白色婚纱。这个传统是在十六世纪由富人们开创的。后维多利亚女王穿着白色婚纱,而非皇室传统的银色,这也让白色更为流行。在这之前,新娘们穿着她们最好的衣服结婚,颜色的选择也成了一大问题。
英国有一首传统的小诗,述说着不同颜色婚纱的含义。
来让我们看看英国人在礼服颜色的选择上有些什么偏好与忌讳吧~
Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you will live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.

When should you move from dating to being husband and wife? Every relationship is different. You should get married when YOU feel the time is right. Not the society, not your family, You.
You should get married when:
哪个时间是从情人转变成夫妻的最佳时间?每段关系都有不同的答案。在你感觉对的时间,你就结婚吧。这不是由社会或你的家庭决定,而是由你决定。
当你有以下想法时,你就结婚吧:
You are totally, madly, completely, head-over-heels in love. Not one-sided, only when it is reciprocated. You feel she is The One. There is no one better than her for you. No one gets you like she does. You feel you've been in the dating circle long enough and if you let her go, you'd be the biggest idiot on earth。
You are mature enough to understand what marriage really means. When you're ready for real commitment. When you are responsible enough to take care of another person, support her financially, and emotionally. You should understand that it is a big move and would mean sharing your life with someone till the day you die。
你真的是完完全全疯狂地不可救药地深深地陷入爱情之中。不是单方面爱恋,而是双方互动的爱恋。你感觉她就是你生命里的那一位了,没有谁比她更适合你,没有谁能如此占据你的心房。你觉得你的爱情长跑已经足够了,而且觉得如果自己放她走,自己就是世界上最蠢的笨蛋。
你已经足够的成熟,懂得婚姻的真正意义。当你准备好对婚姻许下真心的承诺的时候。当你的责任心强大至能照顾好另一个人,在物质上、精神上都能做她的支柱时。你要明白这是你生命中的一大步,从这天起,直到你死亡的那天,你的生活将和另一个人共同分享。
You are in a real relationship where both of you are level-headed people, who respect each other. You have arguments and fights, but you deal with them like adults, talk it out, not jump up and down like six-year olds. You know disagreements are part of your life. There's no running away. You are a team. No one is superior to the other. You're honest and open with each other and share everything, all your dreams and insecurities, and even your failures。
You feel you're ready. You have waited long enough. You're settled in your life and work. You know your goals and aspirations. You know what is to have a family, have a child. You're not driven by societal or family pressures, or the fact that you're aging quickly. You have come to this decision based on your feelings and thoughts。
There is no ideal time to get married. Only you and your companion know when it's right, no one else. Get married when you're absolutely certain that no one makes you as happy as her. You could find that person at any age. There are no set rules. Just make sure you both are on the same page and when that happens, pop the question。
你正处于一段关系之中,双方都是冷静的人,能相互尊重。尽管你们会有争吵甚至打闹,但是你们能用成人的方法来处理问题,坐下详谈,而不是像六岁孩子那样生气的上串下跳。有不同意见是肯定的,没人能够避免。你们是一个团队,没有一个人能驾驭在另一个人身上。你很诚实,也能开心见诚地跟另一半分享自己的所有事情,包括你的梦想,你的不安全感以及你的失败。
你觉得你已经准备好了。你等待已经够久了。你的生活和工作都已经为这段关系做好了安顿。你知道自己的目标和抱负。你知道拥有一个家庭,一个孩子的意义。你不是受社会和家庭的压力或你年龄的迅速老化的驱使而结婚,而是根据自己的感受和想法做出这个郑重的决定。
结婚并没有最佳时间。只有你和你的伴侣知道什么时候结婚是最好的,其他人不能干预。如果你百分百确定,没有人能像她那样带给你如此的欢乐,你就结婚吧。无论是哪个年龄段,你都可以找到那个人,这是没有固定规律的。只要你俩确定大家是走在同一条路上,共同面对将发生的一切,那么,求婚吧!

Two of the most powerful wizards in fiction, Dumbledore from Harry Potter and Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, have got hitched.
Obviously, they’re not real so two actors dressed up as the characters did the deed today in Kansas in a stunt staged by LGBTQ rights activist group Planting Peace.
虚构世界中最强大的两位巫师:《哈利波特》中的邓布利多还有《指环王》三部曲中的甘道夫一直没有勾搭上。
然而在今天,显而易见并不是由两位真正的演员穿着戏服完成的,而是由LGBTQ维权行动组织“播种和平”在堪萨斯州举办这场效果爆好的“勾搭”婚礼,可谓是赚足了风头。
A video posted by the organisation shows the happy couple in front of the wedding officiant saying: ‘In the end we became united in the deep solidarity to create a piece only known in fiction and bring it into reality in our time.
Aaron Jackson, Planting Peace’s president, told the Huffington Post: ‘We are delighted to be hosting the Dumbledore and Gandalf wedding and stand with them in the face ofbigotry and celebrate equality for all.’
从该组织上传的一视频中我们可以看到,这对快乐的新人站在婚礼司仪前宣誓道,“我们最终深深地结合在一起,这在小说中才有的,我们把它变成现实。”
“播种和平”组织的主席艾伦·杰克逊告诉《赫芬顿邮报》: “我们很高兴能够主持邓布利多和甘道夫的婚礼,与他们一同面对他人的不解并欢庆人人平等。”
The wedding was hosted in their rainbow-coloured headquarters opposite the Westboro Baptist Church, which had threatened to picket the nuptials after it was originally suggested by Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
Just before gay marriage was legalised in Ireland, JK Rowling tweeted that she hoped the two wizards would be able to get married.
Rowling has previously revealed that Dumbledore is gay.
婚礼在他们五彩缤纷的总部,即韦斯特博罗浸礼会教堂的对面举行。先前《哈利·波特》作者J.K.罗琳建议举行这个婚礼时,韦斯特博罗浸礼会教堂曾威胁称要阻止婚礼的举行。
同性恋婚姻在冰岛合法化之前,J.K.罗琳就发过推文称,她希望邓布利多和甘道夫他们俩能够结婚。
罗琳此前曾透露,邓布利多是同性恋。

培根散文随笔集中英对照,通过阅读文学名著学语言,是掌握英语的绝佳方法。既可接触原汁原味的英语,又能享受文学之美,一举两得,何乐不为?
He that hath wife and children, hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediment to great enterprises, either of virtue, or mischief. Certainly, the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried or childless men; which both in affection, and means, have married and endowed the public. Yet it were great reason, that those that have children, should have greatest care of future times; unto which, they know, they must transmit their dearest pledges. Some there are, who though they lead a single life, yet their thoughts do end with themselves, and account future times impertinences. Nay, there are some other, that account wife and children but as bills of charges. Nay more, there are some foolish rich covetous men, that take a pride in having no children, because they may be thought so much the richer.
有妻与子的人已经向命运之神交了抵押品了;因为妻与子是大事底阻挠物,无论是大善举或大恶行。无疑地,最好,最有功于公众的事业是出自无妻或无子的人的;这些人在情感和金钱两方面都可说是娶了公众并给以奁资了。然而依理似乎有子嗣的人应当最关心将来,他们知道他们一定得把自己最贵重的保证交代给将来的。有些人虽然过的是独身生活,他们的思想却仅限于自身,把将来认为无关紧要。并且有些人把妻与子认为仅仅是几项开销。尤有甚者,有些愚而富的悭吝人竟以无子嗣自豪,以为如此则他们在别人眼中更显得富有了。
For perhaps, they have heard some talk; Such an one is a great rich man; and another except to it; Yea, but he hath a great charge of children: as if it were an abatement to his riches. But the most ordinary cause of a single life is liberty; especially in certain self-pleasing and humorous minds, which are so sensible of every restraint, as they will go near to think their girdles and garters to be bonds and shackles.
也许他们听过这样的话:一人说,“某某人是个大富翁”,而另一人不同意地说,“是的,可是他有很大的儿女之累”,好象儿女是那人底财富底削减似的。然而独身生活底最普通的原因则是自由,尤其在某种自喜而且任性的人们方面为然,这些人对于各种的约束都很敏感,所以差不多连腰带袜带都觉得是锁链似的。
Unmarried men are best friends; best masters; best servants; but not always best subjects; for they are light to run away; and almost all fugitives are of that condition. A single life doth well with church men: for charity will hardly water the ground, where it must first fill a pool. It is indifferent for judges and magistrates: for if they be facile, and corrupt, you shall have a servant five times worse than a wife. For soldiers, I find the generals commonly in their hortatives, put men in mind of their wives and children: and I think the despising of marriage amongst the Turks, maketh the vulgar soldier more base. Certainly, wife and children are a kind of discipline of humanity: and single men though they be many times more charitable, because their means are less exhaust; yet, on the other side, they are more cruel, and hard hearted (good to make severe inquisitors), because their tenderness is not so oft called upon. Grave natures, led by custom, and therefore constant, are commonly loving husbands; as was said of Ulysses; vetulam suam praetulit immortalitati.
独身的人是最好的朋友,最好的主人,最好的仆人,但是并非最好的臣民;因为他们很容易逃跑,差不多所有的逃人都是独身的。独身生活适于僧侣之流,因为慈善之举若先须注满一池,则难于灌溉地面也。独身于法官和知事则无甚关系,因为假如他们是易欺而贪污的,则一个仆人之恶将五倍于一位夫人之恶也。至于军人,窃见将帅激厉士卒时,多使他们忆及他们底妻子儿女;又窃以为土耳其人之不尊重婚姻使一般士兵更为卑贱也。妻子和儿女对于人类确是一种训练;而独身的人,虽然他们往往很慷慨好施,因为他们底钱财不易消耗,然而在另一方面他们较为残酷狠心(作审问官甚好),因为他们不常有用仁慈之处也。庄重的人,常受风俗引导,因而心志不移,所以多是情爱甚笃的丈夫;如古人谓攸立西斯:“他宁要他底老妻而不要长生”者是也。
Chaste women are often proud and forward, as presuming upon the merit of their chastity. It is one of the best bonds, both of chastity and obedience, in the wife, if she think her husband wise; which she will never do, if she find him jealous. Wives are young men's mistresses; companions for middle age; and old men's nurses. So as a man may have a quarrel to many, when he will. But yet, he was reputed one of the wise men, mat made answer to the question, when a man should marry? A young man not yet, an elder man not at all. It is often seen, that bad husbands have very good wives; whether it be, that it raiseth the price of their husband's kindness, when it comes; or that the wives take a pride in their patience. But this never fails, if the bad husbands were of their own choosing, against their friends' consent; for then, they will be sure to make good their own folly.
贞节的妇人往往骄傲不逊,一若她们是自恃贞节也者。假如一个妇人相信她底丈夫是聪慧的,那就是最好的使她保持贞操及柔顺的维系;然而假如这妇人发现丈夫妒忌心重,她就永不会以为他是聪慧的了。妻子是青年人底情人,中年人底伴侣,老年人底看护。所以一个人只要他愿意,任何时候都有娶妻底理由。然而有一个人,人家问他,人应当在什么时候结婚?他答道:“年青的人还不应当,年老的人全不应当”。这位也被人称为智者之一。常见不良的丈夫多有很好的妻子;其原因也许是因为这种丈夫底好处在偶尔出现的时候更显得可贵,也许是因为做妻子的以自己底耐心自豪。但是这一点是永远不错的,就是这些不良的丈夫必须是做妻子的不顾亲友之可否而自己选择的,因为如此她们就一定非补救自己底失策不可也

导读:每个人都见过婚礼,但是你知道结婚传统的起源是什么?
No matter how beautiful and romantic weddings are, they are still a legal contract. Many of the wedding traditions we've come to associate love, friendship, and fun with have very practical - and even horrifying - roots. Find out what came from where below:
无论婚礼多么的美丽浪漫,那仍然需要法律的合同。许多婚礼传统的起源实际上令人惊讶的和爱,友谊,乐趣有关。下面查明了起源:
1.Wedding announcements: The Catholic tradition of "posting the banns" required a couple to announce their wedding in print; this helped ensure they were not related.
1 宣布婚礼:“根据规定”的天主教传统要求夫妇宣布他们的婚姻并打印出来;这有助于确保他们没有血缘关系。
2.Fathers walking brides down the aisle: Because weddings used to be business transactions, fathers walked brides down the aisle to transfer ownership to grooms. Romantic!
2 父亲陪伴新娘穿过走廊:因为婚礼过去常常视为商品交换,父亲陪伴新娘穿过走廊并把所有权交给新郎。好浪漫!
3.Bachelor parties: Originally held by Spartan soldiers, bachelor parties were wild fetes to kiss the single life goodbye.
3 同学会:一开始是由斯巴达士兵举行的,同学会期间,人们疯狂的亲吻着和单身生活说再见。
4.Best man: "Best" used to refer less to the friendship quality and more to the man's sword skills. Because you can never have enough backup support for a runaway bride.
4 最佳伴侣:“最佳”更少用来提及友情的质量而更倾向于人的射箭技巧。因为你没有足够的后方支持对于逃跑的新娘。
5.Ceremony: The bride stands to the left during Christian wedding ceremonies, because the groom needed to be ready to fight off suitors with his right hand.
5 庆典:在基督教婚礼上新郎站在左边,因为钻戒会带在求婚者的右手上。
6.Ring placement: Engagement and wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, because ancient Greeks and Romans believed that a vein in that finger led directly to the heart.
6戒指的放置:订婚和婚礼戒指会戴在左手的第四个手指上,因为古希腊和罗马人认为那个手指的血管直抵心脏。
7.Tying the knot: The phrase is derived from the literal practice of tying couples together to symbolize the commitment of marriage.
7 系同心结:这个短语由期望夫妇永结同心的字面意思而来象征婚姻的达成。
8.Tossing bouquets: Newlyweds used to go in another room to seal the deal immediately after the wedding ceremony. Guests hung around outside to ensure the marriage transaction was completed, but men used to grab at the bride as she walked with her groom. So one inventive bride threw her bouquet to create a distraction, and other brides followed suit.
8 扔花束:新婚的人们过去常常去另一个房间在婚礼后立刻做该做的事。客人们会在外面四处走确保婚礼过程完成了,当新娘扔花的时候人们习惯于去抢。这种创造性的举动分散了她们的注意力,接到花的人会成为下一位新娘。

摘要:一项新的研究表明步入婚姻殿堂前等待时间越长,最终越有可能离婚。想知道为什么吗?下面跟着小编来看一下吧。
A new study suggests the longer you wait to walk down the aisle, the MORE likely you are to end up divorced.
一项新的研究表明步入婚姻殿堂前等待时间越长,最终越有可能离婚。
Nicholas Wolfinger – a sociologist at the University of Utah – reckons the chances of your marriage ending in divorce increase with every year after the age of 33.
尼古拉斯•沃尔芬格(犹他大学的一位社会学家)测算出婚姻最终破裂的可能性在33岁之后会逐年增加。
Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, the sociologist pinpoints an age window between mid to late twenties in which saying ‘I do’ is said to lead to a happily ever after rather than a decree nisi.
这位社会学家利用《全国家庭成长调查》的数据确定了(结婚)最佳年龄是在25岁到29岁之间,在这个年龄段说出“我愿意”会使人幸福美满,而不是最终换来一纸离婚判决书。
Wolfinger said: ‘My data analysis shows that prior to age 32 or so, each additional year of age at marriage reduces the odds of divorce by 11 per cent.
沃尔芬格说:“我的数据分析表明在32岁左右之前,结婚年龄每降1岁离婚概率就会下降11%。”
‘After that the odds of divorce increase by 5 per cent a year.’
“32岁之后,结婚年龄每增加1岁离婚概率就增长5%。”

摘要:你该结婚吗?你是男人吗?先回答第二个问题。如果第二个答案是"yes"的话,那么第一个答案明显是"No"。 实际上,婚姻远非人们所想。过去几十年,结婚这种神圣而古老的婚恋习俗已逐渐退化为一场噩梦,纯粹劳力伤财,尤其是对男性来讲。
Should you ever get married? Are you a man?Answer the second question first. If the answer tothe second question is "Yes", then the obviousanswer to the first question is, "NO!" The fact is,marriage has never been all that it's cracked up tobe. And in the past few decades, this venerable oldinstitution has actually degenerated even furtherinto an absolute soul and wallet draining wakingnightmare, especially for the male of the species.
There used to be a great many practical and logistical reasons why marriage was an idealarrangement (albeit, from vastly different points of view) for both men and women. However,in the 21st century, the majority of those reasons have passed into the murky mists ofhistory. Today, it simply makes more sense not to get married. It's one thing to fall in love,another to surrender your emotional and economic freedom.
你该结婚吗?你是男人吗?先回答第二个问题。如果第二个答案是"yes"的话,那么第一个答案明显是"No"。 实际上,婚姻远非人们所想。过去几十年,结婚这种神圣而古老的婚恋习俗已逐渐退化为一场噩梦,纯粹劳力伤财,尤其是对男性来讲。
曾经,许多现实原因表明婚姻对男女来说都是最理想的安排(尽管从不同方面来讲)。然而,在21世纪,大多数这些原因已经消失在历史的迷雾中。如今,不结婚更合乎情理。毕竟,相爱是一回事, 放弃情感及经济自由又是另一回事。
10.She's Going To Gain Weight, No Matter What (So Are You, By The Way)
10.不管怎样,她会增重(随便提一下,你也会)
If she gets pregnant, she's obviously going to gain weight (Score one for all you CaptainObvious fans). But, even if you remain childless, the both of you are going to gain weight. Infact, in many ways, the first five years of a marriage are a slow but steady race to see who canlet themselves go the farthest, for the longest amount of time, with the fewest possiblerepercussions.
如果她怀孕,那她肯定会增重(这显而易见)。但即使不要孩子,你俩也会增重。实际上,在很多方面,结婚头五年像一场缓慢持久的比赛,看谁走得更远,坚持最久,受影响最小。
According to a recent study conducted by the University of Queensland in Australia, women wholive with a partner (in this case, let's go ahead and read husband) tend to gain more weightthan women who live completely alone. Is it hard to understand why this should be?
据澳大利亚昆士兰大学的一项最新研究表明,与伴侣同住的女性(这种情况,我们可进一步称之为丈夫)比独居的女性更易增重。很难理解为什么是这样吗?
No, it really isn't. The fact is, women who are in a secure, exclusive, and committedrelationship, particularly one that has been formalized with a legal ceremony and a weddingring, feel no twinge of guilt whatsoever in gradually letting of the svelte little bod they had onoffer back in your courtin' days. And, honestly, are they wrong? Is a gain of ten pounds goingto nullify your wedding vows? Do you have a leg to stand on in court over this trifling matter?
不,不难理解。实际上,处于安全、专一、忠诚的男女关系中的女性,尤其是举行过婚礼、佩戴婚戒的已婚女士,完全不会为失去热恋期间小巧、曼妙的身姿而痛心、愧疚。但实话说,她们(这样)有错吗?增重十磅违背结婚誓言了吗?你会为这区区小事而对簿公堂吗?
Of course, the female side is taking the brunt of the argument in this particular scenarioprecisely because this article is being written from the male point of view. Trust us, tough guy,women notice when you pack on the pounds as well.
当然,这篇文章从男性角度来讲,女性无疑是争论焦点。相信我,型男,你增重时,女士也会格外注意。
9.Marriage Shuts Down All Other Possible Options, Permanently
9.婚姻永久斩断一切其他可能
Not sure what you're getting into? Don't know how you really feel about not having the luxuryof keeping all your other options open? Not keen on consigning your "Little Black Book" to theflames? In short, are you getting more than just the normally described case of cold feet overyou impending nuptials?
不确定你会面对什么?不知道放弃其他一切可能感觉如何?不想把"爱情黑名单"付之一炬?简言之,你比普通所说的婚前恐惧感受更深吗?
If this is the case, it's more than an ominous sign for the future of your marriage. We'd say it'smore in the line of a direct express telegram from the Bachelor Deity, warning you to shake offthe chains before they bind you fast in the fetters of unsuitable monogamy.
假如真是如此,那么这远不止是你婚姻生活的不祥之兆。在神学士的自白表达中更为多见,警告你赶紧松手,以免陷入婚姻的枷锁,被一夫一妻制所辖制。
Marriage means an end to all the casual dates (and the casual sex). Marriage means that youwake up with the same person, morning after morning, after love making, after arguing, aftermany nights of sheer, soul lacerating boredom. Marriage demands the state of monogamy,which, from a male point of view, may as well be more accurately labeled, "monotony". It's theend of your freedom and all of your options.
婚姻意味着所有临时约会(和随意性交)的终结。结婚意味着你在随后无数个早晨都将和同一个女人一起醒来,不管你们昨晚是做爱,吵架还是无聊至极。婚姻需要"一夫一妻",从男性角度讲,"单调乏味"也许更为贴切。婚姻是你自由和所有选择的终点。
To put it bluntly, when you enter into the bonds of marriage, you're stuck with each other, untildeath do you part. There's a reason that these phrases sound so ominous and so final –they're designed to be. Of course, nowadays the radical cure of divorce is far more easilyavailable than it used to be. But if you're already reassuring yourself with such thoughts thisearly in the game, it's just another little hint that you really aren't ready for the bigcommitment.
说穿了,步入婚姻,夫妻双方彼此束缚,只有死亡才可分离。这话听起来很不妙也很绝对—因为它们注定如此。当然,如今离婚处理起来比以往容易得多。但还未结婚你就用这样的想法给自己打气,这只能说你还没为婚姻做好充分准备。
8.Getting Shacked Up Will Empty Your Wallet For Years To Come
8.就同居这事儿,就能让你穷上好几年
The average total cost of a wedding in the United States is currently in excess of $30,000.
现如今,在美国,平均的婚礼开支已经超过了三万美元。
According to a recent survey published by CNN on their official website, the total costs of theaverage American wedding break down as follows:
CNN在其官方网站上进行了一项调查发现,美国人的婚礼开支由以下几个部分构成:
$14,000 to rent the venue where the event will be held.
婚礼场地租金:14000美元
$5,800 to buy the ring.
婚戒:5800美元
$3,500 to hire the band.
乐队:3500美元
$68 catering costs per invitee.
酒席:68美元/人
$439 per printed wedding invitation.
请帖:439美元/版
$275 per set of miscellaneous party favors.
特色婚礼小礼品:275美元/套
An average of 43 percent of the total cost of the wedding will be paid for by the parents of thebride, which leaves someone else – namely, you – on the hook for the remaining 57 percent.Greater minds than yours have furrowed their brows in despair at the escalating costs and thelong years of their lives about to spent in making payments on a plan. While many havesurvived this ultimate ordeal, there are plenty more who wonder what demon whispered intheir ear to make them sign on the dotted line and wreck their lives.
一般来说,新娘的父母会支付43%的婚礼开支,这就意味着,剩下的57%由你解决。比你更聪明的人也难免因开支增长或多年缩衣节食度日而失望、头大。尽管很多人把这些都挺过去了,但是更多人还是想知道他们是怎么鬼使神差地在结婚文件上签了字,以致摧毁了自己的后半生。
It's easy to see why many young people of marriageable age choose not to tie the knot. Itsimply costs too much! Being tied to a payment plan is no one's idea of a good start to anyrelationship, particularly one that is scheduled to last for the rest of your natural lives. In fact,there's only one thing that costs more than marriage: Divorce.
很多适婚年轻男女选择不结婚其实很好理解,只因婚姻实在成本过高!想到要缩衣节食、量米度日,谁还有心思开展人际交往,更不用说要共度余生了!实际上,世上仅有一件事比结婚成本更高—那就是离婚!
7.Marriage Is Essentially Nothing More Than A Blizzard Of Paperwork#p#副标题#e#
7.除了一纸婚书,婚姻再无意义
Remember when you first decided – or someone decided for you in terms resembling an "offeryou couldn't refuse" – that it was time to get married? Remember all of the paper work youhad to fill out? Blood tests, marriage license, all sorts of other forms and miscellaneous legalformalities – it's only the tip of the iceberg, friend. Indeed, there is much, much more to come.
还记得什么时候自己第一次觉得该嫁娶妻了吗?还记得哪天别人开始义正言辞得说"你该成家了"吗? 还记得你曾填过的各式文件吗?血液检查、结婚证、各类表格和繁杂法律手续—-这只不过是冰山一角罢了。要知道你(如果结婚)要面对的,远不止这些。
When it's time to fill out all the forms for your newly opened joint bank account, you'll besigning your life – and an inevitably large chunk of your future finances – drearily away. Whenit's time to fill out all the paper work for your shared health insurance, you'll be sighing awayas more precious hours of your life pass by. And there's more, much more, to come.
当你填写新开的联合银行账户表格时,你的生活—未来的大笔财富也同时消失在你的笔尖下。当你签下共享健康保险时,你将感叹美好时光一去不复返。还有太多太多即将发生。
When you really stop to take a good hard look at it all – and we imagine you're doing so now asyou read this – you'll realize that the state of being married is essentially a large, formallylegal, fiction. Does being married solve all of your intense personal issues, or does it merelycreate new and less immediately solvable problems?
若你停下来认真审视这一切—设想你现在应该已经这样做了—你会意识到婚姻其实不过是部长篇(合法的)虚幻小说而已。结婚真能解决所有紧张的人际关系吗?还是,它仅仅是制造了新的、不需要马上解决的问题罢了?
Does the fact that the two of you have cosigned a marriage license really make you that muchmore in love with, and committed to, each other? Whose idea was it to sign this paper,anyhow? Yours? Your spouses? Her parents? Was it peer pressure from your friends or yourchurch? This is a question worth inquiring into.
结婚证真的能够让你们更爱对方或者更忠于对方吗?到底是谁让你们决定领证?你?你老婆?她的父母?你的朋友或教会?这真是个值得探究的问题。
6.Marriage Means Sticking To The Plan – No More Spontaneity
6.婚姻跟着计划走——再无激情
Do you enjoy going crazy on the weekend? Driving up to Brooklyn on a whim and partying withyour best friend's brother's cousin's uncle's boss' nephew at a new Italian themed night clubthat just opened up? If so, plan on never doing so again. You've got a wife to come home to,paper work to fill out, dinner to eat, dishes to clean, television shows to watch, and a full nightof doing exactly what you did the previous four nights to look forward to. Sounds great, huh?It's your life when you're married, partner.
你喜欢周末狂欢吗?比如一时兴起直接开车去布鲁克林,在一家新开的意大利主题夜总会和你好朋友的兄弟的表弟的叔叔的老板的侄子开派对?如果你喜欢这样,那就做好与此绝别的打算。你有老婆,得回;你有工作,得做;你有晚饭,得吃;你有盘子,得刷;你有节目,得看;你有一个与前四天如出一辙的夜晚,来期盼。听上去不错是吧?这就是你的婚后生活了,伙计。
Sure, you'll hear about married couples who manage to keep the "spontaneity" alive in theirmarriage. These are Fortune 500 execs and hotel heiresses who can afford to fly (frequentlyseparately) to any breezy location in the world that they please. The rest of us don't have it sogood. Spontaneity is a dead letter in a middle class marriage. What truly prevails is routine,and the desperate need to play things safely so as not to introduce some new and terrifyingpretense for misunderstanding and resultant bickering.
当然,你会听说有些已婚夫妇在婚后依旧充满"激情"。世界五百强的老板们或者酒店继承者们完全可以如其所愿地(经常是兵分两路地)飞到世界上任何一个如沐春风的地方,而我们却不能。所谓激情对中产阶级夫妇来说一纸空文,实际上一切仍按照既有路线发生着,即便分开玩也要玩得小心翼翼,避免出现新情况,还要谨慎伪装自己,以免引起误会最终导致争吵。
If you have children, you can count on the drudgery to become even worse. You can't have ababysitter in every night if you expect to actually get to know your children. And, for obviousreasons, you can't be partying on the other side of town when they are going through theirfirst few pivotal life events. While witnessing these events is certainly a rewarding experience,the monotony that surrounds them may prove unendurable.
如果家中有孩子,那就视自己如苦工并接受更悲惨的生活吧。你要是想真正了解自己的孩子,就不能天天晚上请保姆。而另个显而易见的理由,你不能因为在城市的另一头开派对而错过孩子生命中至关重要的第一次。纵然看着孩子的这些第一次弥足珍贵,但围绕在周身的枯燥恐怕依旧难以忍耐。
5.Marriage Is Constant "Compromise" (MeaningYou Lose, No Matter What)
5.婚姻就是无休止的妥协--你输了,你输了,还是你输了
One of the things that your father or fatherconfessor will continually attempt to drill into yourhead before you take the plunge is that marriageessentially consists of an endless series ofcompromises. Now, this is where your recollectionof the earliest events of your childhood ought to kickin. To wit, do you remember the various argumentsand disagreements that your mother and fatherengaged in while you were living under their roof? Who won the majority of those arguments?
结婚之前,你的父亲或者神父绝对会做的事情之一,就是试图源源不断地向你的脑袋里灌输一个概念:婚姻实际上包含着无穷无尽的妥协。那么现下就到了找寻你童年回忆的时候。比如说,曾与父母同住一个屋檐下的你是否记得他们的各种争吵?多数情况是谁吵赢了?
Sure, your Dad could always lead off strong with the "I'm the bread winner" charge. But wasn'tyour Mom quick to counter with "Who does the shopping, the clothes folding, the nose wipingfor the four year old, etc.?" When all else fails, she fought dirty: Cue up the old reliable waterworks! Your Dad really never had a chance.
没错,老爸一般会理直气壮地搬出"钱是我挣来的"这个理由,但老妈是不是瞬间列举出"娃四岁的时候谁给娃买东西、谁给娃叠衣服、谁给娃擦鼻涕……"?当一切理由都无济于事时,老妈就出损招:让老爸难享性福!如此一来老爸就真心无计可施了。
Yes, he could stage a "down tools" protest for a couple of hours by heading over to hisbrother's house to drink a few beers and commiserate in the garage. But, sooner or later, he'dbe back, doing exactly what he didn't want to be doing, with the person that he would leastenjoy doing it with. Some compromise, eh, Sharky?
老爸的确是会以"罢工"抵抗上那么几个小时,去他弟兄的家里喝上点啤酒,在车库凑合一段时间,但过不了多久他就回来了,仍旧做他不想做的事,还是和他不愿意一起的人一起。一种妥协,对吧,老兄?
Of course, here and there, you'll win a few small victories. You'll get to keep a few of your oldhigh school yearbooks or a few Kiss concert T-shirts that you've almost, but not quite,outgrown. The rest of this compromise business is her domain, which she permits you to livein –pro tempore.
当然了,你多多少少还是能赢得点儿胜利,比如说可以留着旧时高中时期的年鉴或者仅有的几件有唇印的演唱会T恤,仅此而已,不能再多了,剩下的全部是她的领域,还是在她的同意下暂时留给你一,席,之,地。
4.Did You Enjoy The Premarital Sex? Good, Because Post Marriage Sex Is A Myth, MuchLike Nessie And Bigfoot
4.你曾享受过婚前性生活吗?那就好,因为婚后性生活就是个传说,就像尼斯湖水怪和大脚怪一样
Remember all the sweet good times you and your Significant Other had in the sack before youtied the knot? Let's hope they were good enough – and plentiful – enough to last you a lifetime. As it turns out, you'll need those sweet memories to see you through a long, intercoursefree desert of married life, which -need we remind you? – is currently scheduled to last untildeath do you part.
还记得在踏入婚姻的坟墓前,你跟另一半度过的那段抵死缠绵的时光吗?希望这段时光足够美好、足够丰富,能够让你终生难忘。因为事实证明,你可能需要用这段甜蜜的回忆来填补婚后长期欲求不满造成的精神与肉体的双重空虚。还有什么需要提醒你的呢?嗯——那就是从现在开始,好好计划在有生之年怎么维持你的婚姻吧。
The fact of the matter, in case you haven't guessed, is that sexual intercourse decreasessharply after marriage. There's a million logical (and perfectly joyless) reasons why this is so.To begin with, if children are the immediate sequel of your first few weeks of honeymoon sex,you can just imagine how strong your wife's aversion to further potential "accidents" mightbecome.
你完全意想不到的是,婚后的"性福"指数会急剧下降,并且会有无数个正当(完全扯蛋)的理由来破坏你的性生活。首先,你只需想象一下妻子为了这个"潜在的小意外"会做出多大的改变,你就知道在新婚的蜜月期立刻造出一个小人的假设是多么的愚蠢。
If children are indeed involved in your life, you can likewise imagine how sharp of a toll thatlooking after the little bundles of joy will take on your potential allotment of sack whoopie time.
如果你们确实孕育出了一个小生命,你就可以想象一下要分配出无限多的时间来照顾小孩是件多么坑爹的事情!
There will come a stressful, intercourse free, period during which your little toddler(s) will wantto sleep with Mommy and Daddy so as to avoid the monster in the closet. There will come atime when Mommy will simply be so worn out after a stressful day at the office that she will befast asleep in the bed by the time you've finished brushing your teeth. Prepare for the comingdrought.
当孩子还处于为了躲避衣橱里的怪物吵着要跟爸妈睡的年龄段时,你就甭想有和谐的性生活了。当孩子他妈因为高压高强度的工作而累得沾枕即睡时,你也只能洗洗睡了。所以,准备好面对婚后性生活的"旱季"吧。#p#副标题#e#
3.Divorce: All Good Things, And Some Very Bad Things, Come To An End
3.离婚:所有美好的和一些非常糟糕的事情,都结束了
Previously, we wondered aloud on your behalf whether there was anything truly as terrifying,mortifying, and soul scathing as the average experience of the institution of marriage in theUnited States. You're in luck! We found something worse: Divorce!
我们曾站在你的立场上声讨过,在美国是否还有比受婚姻制度的压迫更凄惨、坑爹的经历呢。恭喜你!我们找到了更糟糕的事情:离婚!
Want to bet half of your income, 18 years of child support payments, and 50 to 90 percent ofyour property on the slim and shady proposition that your marriage is sure to succeed whereover half of all other marriages contracted on the same day will fail? Be our guest!
跟你同日结婚的人中,有超过一半的夫妇都离婚了,你还想赌上一半的收入、18年的抚育费及婚前协议上50%-90%的财产来保证你和另一半能白头偕老吗?别傻了,权当看客就好!
Will your soon to be blushing bride lose her bright cheerful smile and adopt a scowling eyewhen you bring up the subject of a prenuptial agreement? This, more than any other, is thesure forecast of an unsuccessful marriage. Look, if she's not prepared to risk her all, whyshould you take the plunge for two?
在提到婚前协议时,你老婆的表情会迅速由晴转雨,分分钟变身成母夜叉吗?如果答案是肯定的话,那么就注定你们的婚姻不会美满。听好了,如果她还没准备好赌上一切,你又何必要冒险呢?
In case you even need to contemplate how potentially costly a divorce may be, let's addanother scenario to the mix: It's too costly to consider, especially while the children are tooyoung to leave home, and you'd be on the hook for 10-12 years of support payments. So youwait it out. You wait until the kids are old enough to head off to college.
在你需要盘算离婚所带来的经济损失之前,我们不妨换个角度来算一下这笔账:离婚远比想象中的烧钱。特别是在孩子年幼时离异,你将承担10-12年的抚育费。所以要耐心等待,等到孩子上大学后再离也不迟。
How does 18 years of doing time like a long term felon sound to you? Pacing the walls of yourcell and cursing the day you ever let yourself be booked into this loveless sham? It happensmore often than you think – are your parents still married, chum?
像重刑犯一样度过的18年婚姻生活听起来如何?想要摆脱婚姻的牢笼,后悔踏入这无爱的幸福假象?离婚已是家常便饭——亲,看看你父母的婚姻状况就知道喽。
2.Are You A Risk Taker? There's One Big One Left: Marriage
2.你爱冒险吗?还剩一个大冒险——结婚
Earlier on this list, we pontificated on the fact that getting married pretty ruins thespontaneous lifestyle of both partners, both as solo individuals and as a couple. But, restassured, there's a distinction to be made here. Being spontaneous doesn't necessarily haveto mean that you are intrinsically prone to taking wild risks with your life. After all, there'snothing inherently risky about deciding on the spur of the moment to drive down to the pierfor an ice cream cone.
上文所述,婚姻会破坏双方(原有的)的自在生活方式—不管是个人独处还是夫妻一起的生活方式都将被迫改变,这未免有些武断。在这儿我们来做些区分。自在生活,并不是意味着你本就想在野外冒险。毕竟,即时决定开车去码头买蛋筒冰激凌本身并不存在风险。
However, if you enjoy truly risky endeavors, such as extreme martial arts competition,surfing rough waves, or cliff diving, you're going to need to check your lust for wildadventure at the chapel door. You certainly won't be able to indulge in such risky anddangerous past times when you're expected to watch the kids on a Saturday morning whileyour wife is at the supermarket.
如果你真心喜欢冒险,酷爱极限格斗、冲浪、悬崖跳水等冒险运动,那么婚前请考虑清楚自己到底有多热爱野外冒险。因为婚后你将无法沉浸于往日冒险时光,取而代之的是周六早上当老婆要去逛超市时,你必须要照看孩子。
But, as it turns out, if you really want to live a wild and devil may care sort of existence, gettingmarried has more than its share of potential pitfalls and "winning ugly" scenarios. As statedabove, marriage is a proposition in which you essentially stake your home, career, income,and accumulated property on the thin likelihood of making it last for anywhere from 40 to 60years (sometimes longer). If that's your idea of the ultimate "Take no prisoners" thrill ride, beour guest!
事实证明,如果你爱野外冒险,你就要接受会有危险存在。同样,婚姻也不像看上去那么简单,它也存在一些陷阱和类似"winning ugly" 那样的场景。正如前面所说,结婚就意味着,你将家庭、事业、收入及所有财产全部押上作为赌注,希望婚姻持续40到60年(甚至更久),尽管你赢得机会微薄。若你仍想享受《我不是囚犯》(Take no prisoner)中的刺激生活,那还是不要结婚为好!
1.Marriage Lasts Forever (And We Mean It)
1.婚姻恒久远——(这是说真的!)
The moment you get married, you're married forever. Even if you later divorce, there will alwaysexist a specific time and place within the continuum of eternity in which you were married. Evenafter the both of you pass away, that moment will exist for the duration of the Universe. Oncemarried, always married. Even if you manage to escape the snake pit with your limbs intact,you will always leave a piece of your soul behind. That's the price.
从结婚的那一刻,你就永远已婚了。即便你后来离婚了,在永恒的时空中总有那么一段时间你是已婚的。哪怕你们你年老逝去,(结婚)那一瞬也将在宇宙中永恒。一时结婚,永久已婚。就好像,即便你毫发无损地逃离了蛇穴,你也会被吓丢了魂。这就是代价。
Even if it lasts, you may still feel that you have wasted a significant portion of your youth, aswell as all of the opportunities that were laid before you, on being married. Many married people,both male and female, express extreme regrets regarding the chances they missed, or couldhave taken, which were instead sacrificed at the altar of holy matrimony.
即使婚姻延续,你也会觉得婚姻浪费了宝贵的青春时光,已婚状态使你丢掉很多触手可及的机会。很多已婚人士,不论男女,都对自己当初因步入婚姻殿堂失去或没有抓住机会而深感懊悔。
At the end of your life, what memories, what experiences, will you have to look back on? Willyou regard the closing days of your existence with something like satisfaction, secure in theknowledge that you have lived a full, well ordered, and happy life? Or will you sigh with regret,despairing to the end over the life you have well and truly wasted?
生命弥留之际,你会记起哪些片段?忆起哪段经历?你会含笑追忆那幸福、满足、安排得宜的快乐时光还是沉痛哀悼那灰心丧气、一无所成的昨日岁月?
Nothing is guaranteed to us in life, including the optimum duration of life itself. Since all thingsare in flux, it may already be later than you think. If you're still on the search for your ultimateadventure, or your ultimate goal in life, it's time to get on the stick. Marriage will only slowyou down. Don't stand still!
生活中万事无绝对,甚至生命本身也是如此。所有事物都在不断变化,但这变化也许无法追赶思想的脚步。如果你仍在寻找终极探险目标或追逐生活最终目标,那么行动起来吧!婚姻只会让你放慢脚步!别再原地踏步啦!

摘要:超过60%的美国人表示,在一段成功的婚姻中,照料家务起着关键性的作用。如果双方都专门负责各自拿手的家务,那么夫妻双方可以节省出大量的共同时间。
Contrary to what fairy tales may tell you,relationships take work.
So we collected some of the best social sciencefindings about what makes them last.
和童话故事描绘的截然相反,感情是需要经营的。
我们收集了一些有关经营感情的最佳社科研究发现。
1. If you wait until you're 23 to commit, you'reless likely to get divorced.
如果等到23岁再考虑结婚,离婚几率更小。
A 2014 University of Pennsylvania study found that Americans who cohabitate or get married atage 18 have a 60% divorce rate, whereas people who waited until the more mature age of 23have a divorce rate of about 30%.
2014年宾夕法尼亚大学的一项研究发现,18岁就同居或结婚的美国人离婚率为60%,然而那些等到23岁更成熟的时候才选择结婚的离婚率约为30%。
2. The “in love” phase lasts about a year.
“热恋”阶段通常持续一年左右。
The honeymoon phase with its “high levels of passionate love” and “intense feelings ofattraction and ecstasy, as well as an idealization of one's partner”, doesn't last forever,according to Monmouth University psychologist Gary W. Lewandowski Jr.
蒙莫斯大学心理学家盖里•W•勒万多维斯基表示,充满“高度激情的爱”、“强烈的吸引力和狂喜的感觉,同时对配偶理想化”的蜜月期并不会永远持续下去。
3. Eventually you realize that you're not one person.
最终你会意识到你不是一个人。
Once you start living together, you realize that you have different priorities and tolerances-like,for instance, what does or doesn't constitute a mess.
一旦你们开始生活在一起,你会意识到,你们有不同的优先级和容忍度,比如说对于脏乱的定义会有所不同。
4. If you get excited for your partner's good news, you'll have a better relationship.
如果你为伴侣的好消息感到振奋,你会拥有更好的婚姻。
In multiple studies, couples that actively celebrated good news (rather than actively orpassively dismissed it) have had a higher rate of relationship well-being.
多项研究发现,相对主动或被动地不予理会彼此好消息的夫妻而言,积极地庆祝好消息的夫妻婚姻幸福感更高。
5. The happiest marriages are between best friends.
最幸福的婚姻发生在最好的朋友之间。
A 2014 National Bureau of Economic research study concluded that friendship could help explainthe causal relationship between marriage and life satisfaction.
美国国家经济研究局2014年的一项研究显示,友谊能够解释婚姻和生活满足感之间的因果关系。
6. The closer a couple is in age, the less likely they are to get divorced.
夫妻年龄越相近,离婚的可能性越小。
An Emory University study found that couples with a five-year age difference were 18% morelikely to divorce, and ones with a 10-year difference were 39% more likely.
埃默里大学的一项研究发现,年龄相差5岁的夫妻离婚几率比一般的高出18%,年龄相差10岁的夫妻离婚率则要高出39%。
7. Resentment builds quickly in couples that don't tackle chores together.
没有共同承担家务的夫妻,心中怨恨积累迅速。
Over 60% of Americans say that taking care of chores plays a crucial role in having a successfulmarriage. You'll save a lot of collective time if each person specializes in the chores they're bestat.
超过60%的美国人表示,在一段成功的婚姻中,照料家务起着关键性的作用。如果双方都专门负责各自拿手的家务,那么夫妻双方可以节省出大量的共同时间。

摘要:哪个时间是从情人转变成夫妻的最佳时间?每段关系都有不同的答案。在你感觉对的时间,你就结婚吧。这不是由社会或你的家庭决定,而是由你决定。那么,到底什么时候结婚最合适呢?
When should you move from dating to being husband and wife? Every relationship is different. You should get married when YOU feel the time is right. Not the society, not your family, You.
哪个时间是从情人转变成夫妻的最佳时间?每段关系都有不同的答案。在你感觉对的时间,你就结婚吧。这不是由社会或你的家庭决定,而是由你决定。
You should get married when:
当你有以下想法时,你就结婚吧:
You are totally, madly, completely, head-over-heels in love. Not one-sided, only when it is reciprocated. You feel she is The One. There is no one better than her for you. No one gets you like she does. You feel you’ve been in the dating circle long enough and if you let her go, you’d be the biggest idiot on earth.
你真的是完完全全疯狂地不可救药地深深地陷入爱情之中。不是单方面爱恋,而是双方互动的爱恋。你感觉她就是你生命里的那一位了,没有谁比她更适合你,没有谁能如此占据你的心房。你觉得你的爱情长跑已经足够了,而且觉得如果自己放她走,自己就是世界上最蠢的笨蛋。
You are mature enough to understand what marriage really means. When you’re ready for real commitment. When you are responsible enough to take care of another person, support her financially, and emotionally. You should understand that it is a big move and would mean sharing your life with someone till the day you die.
你已经足够的成熟,懂得婚姻的真正意义。当你准备好对婚姻许下真心的承诺的时候。当你的责任心强大至能照顾好另一个人,在物质上、精神上都能做她的支柱时。你要明白这是你生命中的一大步,从这天起,直到你死亡的那天,你的生活将和另一个人共同分享。
You are in a real relationship where both of you are level-headed people, who respect each other. You have arguments and fights, but you deal with them like adults, talk it out, not jump up and down like six-year olds. You know disagreements are part of your life. There’s no running away. You are a team. No one is superior to the other. You’re honest and open with each other and share everything, all your dreams and insecurities, and even your failures.
你正处于一段关系之中,双方都是冷静的人,能相互尊重。尽管你们会有争吵甚至打闹,但是你们能用成人的方法来处理问题,坐下详谈,而不是像六岁孩子那样生气的上串下跳。有不同意见是肯定的,没人能够避免。你们是一个团队,没有一个人能驾驭在另一个人身上。你很诚实,也能开心见诚地跟另一半分享自己的所有事情,包括你的梦想,你的不安全感以及你的失败。
You feel you’re ready. You have waited long enough. You’re settled in your life and work. You know your goals and aspirations. You know what is to have a family, have a child. You’re not driven by societal or family pressures, or the fact that you’re aging quickly. You have come to this decision based on your feelings and thoughts.
你觉得你已经准备好了。你等待已经够久了。你的生活和工作都已经为这段关系做好了安顿。你知道自己的目标和抱负。你知道拥有一个家庭,一个孩子的意义。你不是受社会和家庭的压力或你年龄的迅速老化的驱使而结婚,而是根据自己的感受和想法做出这个郑重的决定。
There is no ideal time to get married. Only you and your companion know when it’s right, no one else. Get married when you’re absolutely certain that no one makes you as happy as her. You could find that person at any age. There are no set rules. Just make sure you both are on the same page and when that happens, pop the question.
结婚并没有最佳时间。只有你和你的伴侣知道什么时候结婚是最好的,其他人不能干预。如果你百分百确定,没有人能像她那样带给你如此的欢乐,你就结婚吧。无论是哪个年龄段,你都可以找到那个人,这是没有固定规律的。只要你俩确定大家是走在同一条路上,共同面对将发生的一切,那么,求婚吧!
