Chapter 45 Love and Marriage

第45章 恋爱与婚姻

David: So please tell me what you think about love and marriage in China?

你怎么看待中国人的爱情和婚姻?

You: I think love and marriage is very traditional in China. People who have known each other some time, get married, whereas in other countries, they can live together without marrying.

我觉得中国人在爱情和婚姻方面十分传统。人们彼此了解一段时间以后才会结婚。而在一些国家,人们不结婚也可以住在一起。

David: Yeah, in the United States, the concept of love and marriage has adopted modern ideas. I think in traditional China people don't have a choice of who they would marry sometimes.

对。美国人对爱情和婚姻的理解源自现代观念;我觉得在中国古代,人们没有选择婚姻的自由。

You: Because in those times, it's difficut for young men and women to communicate with eachothers.

因为那时候,青年男女很少有机会交流。

David: Very difficult to know each other? Why?

很难相互了解?为什么?

You: Because there were some rules, for example, boys and girls couldn't be alone in the same place and they needed chaperons if they went out on a date. Girls had to stay at home and learn how to be good wives, while their parents arranged their marriages.

因为有规定。男孩和女孩是不能单独约会的。如果有约会的话,都会由侍女陪同。女孩子应该规规矩矩呆在家里并学会怎样做一个好妻子,而她的婚姻是由父母包办的。

David: Arranged marriages?

包办婚姻?

You: Yeah.

是的。

David: But now people have more choice in who they get married to.

但现在人们有婚姻自由了。

You: Yeah, but I have a feeling that it's really hard to find a good spouse..

确实是这样的。但我觉得要找一个称心如意的对象是很难的。
