　　英语四级晨读100篇精华版029：Early Marriage早婚

　　29. Early Marriage早婚

　　Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, go steady through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying locks and clucking of middle-aged tongues over the ways of wayward youth. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.

　　自从第二攻世界大战以来，有一种早婚趋势清晰地显示出来，尤其是在逐年上升的大学生群体当中。很多年轻人刚刚青春期就开始约会，高中起一直保持稳定的关系，然后在尚未完成正规教育之前就过旱地步八婚姻的殿堂。在一些地方，很多老人对这些任性的年轻人直摇头，很多中年人对这些人也持批评态度。然而，感情的成熟是不受年龄限制的，它不是等到21岁或25岁才自然到来。有些A来得惊人的旱，而另外一些人却退迟不到、即到了古稀之年.

　　Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves ones problems; more often, it merely accentuates them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say in theological terms, that they are forsaking one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of lifes meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow.
