Centuries ago, a groom had to "kidnap" the bride if her family disapproved of their union. The best man was put in place to defend the groom in case the family retaliated.
几个世纪以前,如果女方家不同意两人的婚事,新郎就必须“绑架”新娘。伴郎的作用就是在女方家反击报复时保卫新郎。
The best man originated as the groom's choice protector. Many centuries ago, it was common for a groom to "steal" a bride from her family if they didn't approve of the union — and it was the best man's job to fight the family if they retaliated.
伴郎原先是新郎选定的个人护卫。许多世纪以前,在女方家不同意婚事的情况下,新郎“抢”新娘的做法很普遍,而伴郎的工作就是在女方家反击时和女方家作斗争。
It was also common practice for the best man to stand next to the groom with a sword in tow on the day of the wedding. In fact, ancient groups like the Huns, Goths, and Visigoths would store weapons in the floor of the church in the event of a brawl.
在婚礼当天,伴郎一般配着剑站在新郎旁边。事实上,匈奴人、哥特人和西哥特人等远古群落会在教堂地板上存放武器,以防斗殴发生。
brawl[brɔl]: n. 争吵;打架
Carrying the bride across the threshold was symbolic of the bride unwillingly leaving her family.
抱着新娘跨过门槛象征着新娘离开娘家人是不情愿的。
