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.
许多学生因逃避而结婚，不仅逃避对家庭生活的不满而且逃避孤独与寂寞等个人问题。因为逃避而结合的婚姻都不能证明为成功婚姻不仅很少解决个人问题，而且往往加剧问题。此外，值得怀疑的是家庭作为婚姻制度是否能够真正承载年轻人所寻求的一切。有人可能会说，从理论上讲，他们是在追求一个幻灭而放弃另一个幻想。年轻人正确地认识到他们的父母将成功视为最终的美好是错误的，但是他们却错误地认为他们发现了人生的真谛。他们对婚姻的期望根本就是乌托邦，因此随之而来的注定是幻想的破灭。
Shall we, then join, the chorus of Miseries over early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more that all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.
那么，赣们是否应该加A祈求神灵给予早婚的大合唱呢?不能一概而论。不是所有的早婚都是不好的，不是所有的晚婚都是好的，满意的婚姻不是由婚姻的迟早决定的，而是由彼此感情是否成熟来决定的。因此，每桩婚姻个体都应该规其本身情况而定。如果早婚不是为了逃避，如果婚姻不带幻想或错误的期望，而且经济上是可行的，那么，为什么不做?美好姻缘可以从16岁开始。也可以从60岁开始，失败的婚姻同样如此
