【每日英语故事10月11日】——现代“快餐式婚姻” 的, restaurant, flash, marriage, produced

　　前两年老有新闻说80后小夫妻第一天结婚、第二天离婚的事儿，也就是所谓的“闪婚”、“闪离”。到了现在，人们对这种情况估计已经司空见惯了吧，以至于都有了“快餐式婚姻”这样的统称了。



　　Marriages in modern society are like French fries produced on restaurant assembly lines, coming and going in the twinkle of an eye. There is flash marriage and flash divorce. Young men and women may get married soon after their first date, and then file for divorce not long after the wedding. Marriage is treated like a game. Getting married and divorced is just like having a meal in a fast-food restaurant, that’s where the term “fast-food marriage” comes from.


　　With an increasing number of fast-food marriages, we may see fewer long-lasting marriages, like golden and silver weddings, in the future, but more broken families and lonely hearts.
