问题同时，父母之命媒妁之言的旧式婚姻，却要比嫖妓更高明。这制度之下，男人得到永久的终身的活财产。当新妇人被放到新郎的床上的时候，她只有义务，她连讲价钱的自由都没有，何况恋爱。不管你爱不爱，在周公孔圣人的名义之下，你得从一而终，你得守贞操。男人可以随时使用她，而她却要遵守圣贤的礼教，即使“只在心里动了恶念，也要算犯奸淫”的。在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。吃头两个主莱时，也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿宴席，缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。这是因为，第一，开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜如蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜。第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖的茅房三天香，这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。

选项

答案 At the same time, the old-style marriage made "at the behest of the parents and after consultation between matchmakers" was superior even to whoring. Under this system, the man came into a piece of live property that was his to hold forever. From the time the bride was deposited on the bed of the bridegroom she had only duties and obligations to perform; even the freedom to haggle over a price was denied her, let alone love. Love or without love, in the name of Duke of Zhou and the Sage Confucius, she had to cleave to one man for all her days, and she had to preserve her chastity. The man could use her whenever he pleased, yet she had to abide by the morale teachings of the saintly fathers: even "to conceive an unclean thought is to be guilty of adultery".

解析 1．本段讲述封建婚姻制度下妇女的悲惨命运，为历史性叙述，故采用一般过去时为总体时态。
2．第1句“父母之命媒妁之言”为中国俗语，可采用意译法译成at the behest of the parents and afterconsultation between matchmakers，或可译成at the parents’decree(order)and matchmakers’advice。
3．“嫖妓”可译成whoring，简洁明了，符合英文的表达方式，也可根据意思译成visiting(frequenting)broth-els或taking prostitutes。
4．第3句“讲价钱”可译为haggle或bargain，突出封建婚姻制度的商业化本质。
5．第5句“圣贤”可译为saintly fathers。“犯奸淫”可译为be guilty of adultery或commit adultery。
