徵婚 Advertising for Marriage

With the development of informationization, the pace of life in the city speeds up, while human communication becomes superficial and reduced. Therefore, many people attend to find shortcut to find their spouse by advertising on newspaper, TV or Internet. Because they think it saves their time as well as helps them to find their ideal couple. However, as far as I observe, this so-call quick and convenient way may do more harm than good.

隨着信息化的發展，城市生活節奏的加快，人際交往變得膚淺和減少。因此，很多人想尋找捷徑，通過在報紙，電視或者網絡上打廣告來尋找他們的配偶。因爲他們認爲這樣不僅節省了時間而且能夠幫助他們找到理想伴侶。然而，就我觀察來看，這一所謂的快捷方便的方式弊大於利。

First, as we all know that advertisements are tempting but deceptive. In order to attract target customers, the advertisements are full filled with decorated expressions. The advertisement for spouse, with no exception, will either exaggerate their wealth or fabricate their status and identity in order to tempt te prey. For example, an ugly man with bad temper will describe himself as a handsome and even-tempered.

首先，我們都知道，廣告是誘人的，但也是騙人的。爲了吸引目標顧客，廣告的裝飾方式琳琅滿目。徵婚廣告也不例外，要麼誇大他們的財富或者捏造他們的地位和身份以誘惑獵物。比如，一個又醜脾氣又差的男人會把自己描述成帥氣而且好脾氣的人。

Second, even if you were lucky enough not to get deceived in the beginning and happened to find a spouse through the advertisement, there would still be many problems in later life, because the spouse got in this way may be unstable. Before they know each other, they live in quite different social interactions. They may be different in temper, interests and life styles. Therefore, it's hard for the two to live peacefully together. Besides, marriage is the combination of two families. Except for the two, their families are important factors that have great impacts on their marriage.

其次，即使你一開始很幸運沒有被騙，碰巧通過廣告找到了伴侶，以後的生活中仍然存在很多問題，因爲以這種方式找到的伴侶是不穩定的。在他們瞭解彼此之前，他們生活在截然不同的社交環境中。他們的脾氣，興趣和生活方式可能會不同。因此，這樣的兩個人是很難在一起和平生活的。此外，婚姻是兩個家庭的結合。除了他們兩人外，他們的家庭也是對婚姻產生影響的重要因素。

From the discussions above, it's hard for people to find their spouse through advertisements. What we should do is open our minds and take efforts to manage the solid true love instead of approaching it by chance. Only in this way can we find the most appropriate spouse and experience the most enduring love.

從以上的討論我們可以看出，通過廣告來尋找配偶是很難的。我們應該做的就是打開我們的心靈，努力經營堅實的真愛，而不是偶然接近它。只有這樣我們才能找到最適合的伴侶，體驗最持久的愛情。
