一生必知英语话题背诵 32如何维持跨国婚姻

The transnational love is advocating(宣扬) "love doesn't have boundaries", which has broken the traditional views of love. It promotes true love, which is just to the young generation's liking¹. According to the idea , affection is only the business of the couple in love, and needn't be explained to others, let alone abide² by any exterior³ rules.

跨国恋倡导的"无国界爱情"打破了人们关于爱情的一切固有观念。它宣扬的"寻求真爱"，正好符合年轻人的标准。爱情只与相爱的两个人有关，不需要向其他人做任何解释，更不需要符合任何外在的准则。

However, the mixed marriages are far more complicated than the mere⁴ love. Especially for the 1980s generation, due to their different family backgrounds, cultures, customs and social status, many disagreements can arise. As the only children at home, the majority of them turn out self-centered. Because of the lack of adequate understanding of marriage, language, culture, ideas, habits and customs, more and more mixed marriages are on the verge⁵ of breaking.

然而，与简单的爱情相比，跨国婚姻就要复杂得多。特别是对于年轻的80后来说，由于家庭背景、文化、习惯和社会地位的不同，很多矛盾不可避免。作为家中的独生子女，他们大多数比较看重自己的想法。正是由于对双方婚姻、语言、文化、思想、习惯、风俗等缺乏必要的了解，很多跨国婚姻已是摇摇欲坠。

Of course, in marriage, mutual⁶ respect and understanding are taking over the dominance of love. Both sides must adopt an inclusive heart so as to achieve harmony.

婚姻生活中，真正占主导位置的常常是夫妻双方的相互尊重和理解，而不再是简单的爱情。只要双方都有一颗包容的心，跨国婚姻也能和谐美满。
