Love is the Key Element to Marriage

Many people almost cry their eyes out when watching some soap playsthrobbed with love themes。Love is the key element that leads a couple before the sacred altarof the church。

許多人在看與愛有關(guān)的肥皂劇時(shí)會哭得稀里嘩啦的.因?yàn)閻凼侨藗冏呦蚪烫檬サ畹年P(guān)鍵因素。

However, in the past, many people got married without their ownconsent in China. Their marriage was arranged. Tow persons, a man and a woman,who were entirely strangers, were united in wedlock and became husband andwife. They had known nothing of each other before, and of course, love was asealed book to both of them. This type of marriage often led to unhappiness. Tragicstories of ill-matched were common enough.

然而，在過去，中國的許多人贊同包辦婚姻。他們的婚姻都是被安排的。兩個(gè)人，一男一女，他們完全是陌生人，他們被安排結(jié)婚，然后就成為了丈夫和妻子。他們之前是完全不了解對方的，當(dāng)然，愛對他們來說完全就是天書.這類型的婚姻往往都是不幸福的。這種病態(tài)的撮合已經(jīng)造成了夠多的悲劇故事了。

Nowadays, it is held by many people that one should not marrywithout love. A man and a woman may freely make friends with each other. Theydo not talk of marriage until their friendship has ripened into love. In their marriage,they may take other things into consideration, but they regard love as the mostimportant thing. This type of marriage usually brings happiness.

現(xiàn)在，許多人都認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該結(jié)沒有愛的婚姻。一個(gè)男人和女人應(yīng)該按照自己意愿成為朋友。他們不討論婚姻，直到他們的友情發(fā)展成愛情。在他們的婚姻中，他們也會要考慮其他因素，但是他們還是會把愛當(dāng)成最重要的因素。這類型的婚姻往往都是幸福的。

Moreover, love may be a temporary passion, and those who are in loveare often blind to other things, so that what we call love matches do notalways result in happiness. Therefore, while love is required before a marriageis arranged, it is not the only thing required.

再者，愛有可能是一種暫時(shí)的激情，愛人們通常會在這期間非常盲目，所以因愛結(jié)合的人也未必是幸福結(jié)局的。因此，有愛的婚姻總是比包辦婚姻好的，但愛也不是唯一的因素。
