记得当时。我顺着他的话说道:“那么好吧,请这位先生选择一下你的婚姻期限吧!”他再一次傻傻地乐了,说:“那还用想吗。当然是100年,多省钱啊!”
I still remember at that time that I said to my husband, “Ok, so sir, please choose the time you expect our marriage to last!” He said happily, “I even do not bother to think about it and would definitely choose 100 years because it is highly money-saving!”
后来,我嫁给了这个想和我拥有百年婚姻的男人。虽然,我们没有像爱尔兰人一样有法律的约束,我们却一直因为这句话,彼此在心里约束着自己。像爱尔兰人一样去结婚,把婚姻当成一辈子的事,好好地努力地经营,执子之手、与子偕老。
Later, I married him, a man who would like to stay with me for 100 years. Although we are not bound by the law of marriage in Ireland, we have cherished our vow to discipline ourselves all the time. We have married like Irish people and look on our marriage as a life-long commitment and spare no effort to nourish it hand in hand as we are gradually aging together.
我希望世间男女,都能像爱尔兰人一样去结婚,好好地谨慎地相爱,并选择百年的期限来用心地守护身边的那个人。
I also sincerely hope that every pair of lovers in the world can get married like Irish people and love and protect each other whole-heartedly by committing themselves to a 100-year marriage.
