Talk About Marriage 談?wù)摶橐?/strong>
“我們這一代人似乎想掙脫某種義務(wù)的束縛,把婚姻視作泥潭中的鱷魚……”
"But the poor kids today, either they're too selfish to take part in a real loving relationship, or they rush into marriage and then six months later, they get divorced. They don't know what they want in a partner. They don't know who they are themselves-so how can they know who they're marrying?"
“可是現(xiàn)在這些可憐的年輕人,要么過于自私而無(wú)法和別人建立真誠(chéng)的戀愛關(guān)系,要么輕率地走進(jìn)婚姻殿堂,然后六個(gè)月后又匆匆地逃了出來(lái)。他們并不清楚要從伴侶那兒得到什么。他們連自己也無(wú)法認(rèn)清——又如何去認(rèn)識(shí)他們要嫁娶的人呢?
"There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike. And the biggest one of those values?"
"Your belief in the importance of your marriage."
"Your belief in the importance of your marriage."
“愛情和婚姻還是有章可循的:如果你不尊重對(duì)方,你們的關(guān)系就會(huì)有麻煩;如果你不懂怎樣妥協(xié),你們的關(guān)系就會(huì)有麻煩;如果你們彼此不能開誠(chéng)布公地交流,你們的關(guān)系就會(huì)有麻煩;如果你們沒有共同的價(jià)值觀,你們同樣會(huì)有麻煩。你們必須有相同的價(jià)值觀。而這一價(jià)值觀里最重要的是什么?”
“你們對(duì)婚姻重要性的信念?!?/div>
