现在,当一对情侣结婚,他们第一件事就是凑够钱去买房子。在中国,婚姻似乎意味着房子,据报道,一对新婚夫妇离婚,原因在于他们的父母弄不清谁是房子的合法人。婚姻必须加上房子吗?我不这样认为。
Itiscommonthatwhenpeoplegetmarriedthattheymustendowwithahouse,itisbecausehousebringsthecouplethesenseofsecure.Havingahousemeanstheyaresettled,eventheyarefiredfromthework,theydon’thavetoworryaboutwheretolive.Peopleowntheirsenseofsecuretothehouse.Marriagebringssenseofsecure,too,sopeoplethinkahouseisamust.
当人们结婚,他们必须要有房子,这是很正常的,这因为房子给夫妇带来安全感。有房子意味着他们安定,即使工作上被开除,也不用担心住哪里。人们有他们的安全感归因于房子。婚姻也带来安全感,所以人们觉得房子是必须的。
Weseethetruethattodaypeopleendowthehousewithtoomuchemotion.Sometimetheyevenmarryforthehouse,thevalueoftrueloveisbeingdistorted,peoplenomoreputtheloveinthefirstplace,theyconsiderthehousethemostimportantthing.Soiftherearetwoguyschasingforagirl,thereisnodoubtthattheguywhoownsahousewins.Whataterriblething.
我们要看到这样的事实,今天人们赋予房子太多的情感。有时候他们甚至为房子而结婚,真爱的价值被扭曲,人们不再把爱放在第一位上,他们把房子看成最重要的东西。所以如果两个男孩追一个女孩,毫无疑问,有房子的那个男生赢了。这是多么可怕的事情埃
Onmyopinion,trueloveisnothingwiththehouse,marriageisonthebasisoflove,houseisnotamustforthemarriage.
在我看来,真爱跟房子没有关系,婚姻是在爱的基础上,房子不是婚姻的必需品。

一个男人和他的'女朋友结婚,举行了一场盛大的结婚庆典。
所有的朋友和家人都来到结婚典礼上参加欢宴和庆祝活动。大家都过得很开心。
穿着白色婚纱的新娘漂亮迷人,穿着黑色礼服的新郎英俊潇洒。每个人都能看出他们彼此的爱是真诚的。
几个月后,妻子走近丈夫提议说:“我刚才在杂志上看到一篇文章,说的是怎样巩固婚姻。”她说:“我们两个人都各自把对方的小毛病列在一张纸上,然后我们商量一下怎样解决,以便使我们的生活更幸福。”
丈夫同意了。于是他们各自走向不同的房间去想对方的缺点。那一天余下的时间里,他们都在思考这个问题,并且把他们想到的都写下来。
第二天早上,吃早饭的时候,他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。
“我先开始吧。”妻子说。她拿出她的单子,上面列举了很多条,事实上,足足写满了三页。当她开始念的时候,她注意到丈夫眼里含着泪花。
“怎么啦?”她问。“没什么,”丈夫答道,“继续念吧。”
妻子又接着念。整整三页都念完之后她把单子整齐地放在桌上,两手交叉放在上面。
“现在该你念了,然后我们谈谈所列举的缺点。”她高兴地说。
丈夫平静地说:“我什么也没写,我觉得像你这样就很完美了,我不想让你为我改变什么。你很可爱迷人,我不想让你改变。”
妻子被丈夫的诚实和对她深深的爱和接纳感动了,她转过头去哭起来。
生命中我们有很多的失望、沮丧和烦恼,我们根本不需要寻找。我们美妙的世界充满了美丽、光明、希望。但是,当我们放眼四周时,为什么浪费时间寻找不快、失望和烦恼,而看不到我们面前的美好事物呢?
美文赏析:幸福就是投入
姜太公钓鱼——愿者上钩。幸福是什么?仁者见仁吧。真正的幸福或许就是没有目的的投入,知足常乐哦。

烈日下,一老翁坐在岸边,两眼一动不动的盯着河面的浮标,从日出到日落,依然两手空空,老翁却怡然自得,乐在其中。我很是纳闷。老翁笑着说:“我即鱼,鱼即我,我在钓鱼,鱼也在钓我,就像下棋,我和鱼的耐力旗鼓相当,这才过瘾.”一顽童向水中扔一块石头,一阵波纹飘荡过来,老翁曰:“起风了。”人生就是一盘棋,而幸福就是投入。

下一站会更幸福吗?没有人知道。那只是我们美好的愿望而已。如果这一刻感觉是对的,请珍惜。把握现在远比憧憬未来更实际。
