Example 精彩例句
The past ten years has seen a surge in what are now called 'starter' marriages, as ephemeral as spring.
Marriage and family experts — psychologists, sociologists, lawyers and clergy — are beginning to look at these brief young unions, seeing in their implications a barometer of society's attitudes about marriage and divorce. Some say starter marriages signal the need for more premarital counseling.
周玉亮点评： Starter Marrige （起步婚姻）有点像“新手上路，敬请关照”的意思。曾经有一句流行歌词：不是我不明白，这世界变化太快。随着社会进步与经济发展，女性拥有与男性同等的接受教育和职场发展的条件和机会。当男女都有独立的物质基础和独立的精神世界的时候，传统婚姻里那种物质与精神的相互依存不再重要，离婚就会变得相对更容易。于是就有越来越多的人“新手上路”然后中途换车。短暂持续的第一段婚姻以和平方式结束：没有孩子，没有财产分割，没有恶言相向互相攻击。
