雅思词汇：快餐式婚姻

   认识很短的时间就闪婚了，然后又闪离。到了现在，人们对这种情况估计已经司空见惯了吧，以至于都有了“快餐式婚姻”这样的统称了。

　　Marriages in modern society are like French fries produced on restaurant assembly lines, coming and going in the twinkle of an eye. There is flash marriage and flash divorce. Young men and women may get married soon after their first date, and then file for divorce not long after the wedding. Marriage is treated like a game. Getting married and divorced is just like having a meal in a fast-food restaurant, that’s where the term “fast-food marriage” comes from.

　　现代人的婚姻就像快餐厅里流水线上生产出来的薯条一样，可以来去迅速。说穿了，就是我们平常所说 “闪婚”、 “闪离”。有好多青年男女认识不久就结婚，结婚没几年又离婚，把婚姻视同儿戏。结婚、离婚如吃快餐一样快，这就是我们所说的“快餐式婚姻”。

　　With an increasing number of fast-food marriages, we may see fewer long-lasting marriages, like golden and silver weddings, in the future, but more broken families and lonely hearts.

　　随着“快餐式婚姻”的增多，“银婚”、“金婚”之类长久的婚姻今后可能会越来越少了。“快餐式婚姻”只会导致更多破裂的家庭和孤寂的心灵。
