輕松英語之旅24:經(jīng)濟衰退致使離婚率下降

[00:13.68]知行快報 [00:16.11]雙語新聞 [00:21.52]Financial woes often drive couples apart [00:24.24]but the current recession seems to [00:26.27]be having the opposite effect, [00:28.45]with less couples able to afford [00:30.75]the cost of a divorce. [00:38.03]財務狀況惡化經(jīng)常會讓夫婦分離， [00:41.12]但目前的經(jīng)濟衰退似乎起了反作用， [00:44.12]因為離婚的人反而少了。 [00:46.45]原因在于有些人實在太窮了， [00:48.39]想離都離不起。 [01:02.19]即時講解 [01:04.82]對于美國人來說， [01:06.04]結婚對于很多人來說可能就是尋找一個玩伴， [01:08.52]或說找一個人來一起享樂， [01:10.80]但兩人都囊中羞澀時， [01:12.62]分開似乎是一個不錯的選擇。 [01:15.19]不過，窮到離婚都離不起， [01:17.42]那不能不說是一種痛苦了， [01:19.70]就如今天報道中的一個詞woe， [01:22.68]woe的英語意義是Deep distress or misery， [01:26.63]"深深的苦惱與不幸"。 [01:28.90]woe這個詞平時用得不多， [01:31.35]意思其實與suffering比較接近， [01:34.28]看兩個例子，He told a tale of woe. [01:37.97]"他講了一個不幸的故事"; [01:40.34]You need to forget your woes for a while [01:43.97]and go out to have some fun. [01:46.25]"你暫時需要放下這些悲傷的事情，出去找點樂子"。 [01:50.40]對于這些想離但又離不起的人們來說， [01:53.63]他們要做的是在damaged marriages"已破損的婚姻"和 [01:58.07]tight budgets"緊縮的預算"之間作出出決擇。 [02:02.13]我想，在TA們作出決定時， [02:04.10]心中可能會默念這幾天曝光率極高的一句話： [02:07.70]This is it! [02:13.96]原文重聽 [02:15.78]Financial woes often drive couples apart [02:18.61]but the current recession seems to [02:20.49]be having the opposite effect, [02:22.66]with less couples able to afford [02:25.20]the cost of a divorce.
