Passage Three
____1____ Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together. The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring. That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry. The diamond represented beauty. He placed it on the third finger of her left hand. ____2____ Today we know that this is not true, yet the tradition continues. Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and a party. ____3____ These could include cooking equipment or new clothing. Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him. This usually takes place the night before the wedding. Only men are invited to the bachelor party. During the marriage ceremony, the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever. The wife often wears both the wedding ring and the engagement ring on the same finger. The husband wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand. Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding. ____4____ Either person may decide to break the engagement, if this happens, the woman usually returns the ring to the man. They also return any wedding gifts they have received.
The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony. He chose that finger because it was thought that the blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart. During this time, friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife. But the main purpose is to let enough time pass, so the two people are sure they want to marry each other.
提親和婚禮這段時(shí)間稱(chēng)為訂婚期。當(dāng)兩人決定共度一生的時(shí)候,他們就同意結(jié)婚了。男士通常給女士一個(gè)鉆石的訂婚戒指。據(jù)說(shuō)以前有位一位奧地利的小伙子想娶一個(gè)姑娘的時(shí)候給了她一個(gè)鉆石戒指。鉆石代表了美麗。他把戒指戴在了女孩左手的第三個(gè)手指上。因?yàn)閾?jù)說(shuō)那個(gè)手指上的血管是直接通往心臟的,所以,他選擇了那個(gè)手指。我們現(xiàn)在知道不是這么回事,但是這樣傳統(tǒng)被延續(xù)了下了。美國(guó)人要為一婚禮或婚禮派對(duì)花個(gè)月的時(shí)間。在此期間,新娘的朋友和家庭成員們會(huì)舉辦一個(gè)派對(duì),人們會(huì)把新娘今后做妻子需要的東西作為禮物送給。比如炊具或新衣物。新郎的朋友們會(huì)通常會(huì)在婚禮的前一個(gè)晚上為他開(kāi)個(gè)單身派對(duì)。只有男士們才被邀請(qǐng)參加。在婚禮儀式上,新娘和她的未來(lái)的丈夫通?;Q金戒指---戒指代表他們會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)結(jié)合在一起。妻子通常把兩個(gè)戒指-訂婚戒指和結(jié)婚戒指戴在同一個(gè)手指上。丈夫把戒指戴在左手第三個(gè)手指上。很多人認(rèn)為:訂婚期是為了給籌辦婚禮預(yù)留充足的時(shí)間。但是,最主要目的是讓兩個(gè)人在這段時(shí)間能確定真的愿意結(jié)婚。 雙方都可以提出解除婚約,如果這樣的話(huà),女方通常把戒指還給男方。他們還要將所有受到的禮物退還。 ——譯文來(lái)自: rose94790884
