Para.1.我和蓋爾計(jì)劃舉行一個(gè)不事張揚(yáng)的婚禮。在相處的兩年中，我們的關(guān)系經(jīng)歷了起伏，這是一對(duì)情侶在學(xué)著相互了解、理解和尊重時(shí)常常出現(xiàn)的。但在這整整兩年間，我們坦誠(chéng)地面對(duì)彼此性格中的弱點(diǎn)和優(yōu)點(diǎn)。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.2我們之間的種族及文化差異不但增強(qiáng)了我們的關(guān)系，還教會(huì)了我們要彼此寬容、諒解和開誠(chéng)布公。蓋爾有時(shí)不明白為何我和其他黑人如此關(guān)注種族問題，而我感到吃驚的是，她好像忘記了美國(guó)社會(huì)中種族仇恨種種微妙的表現(xiàn)形式。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.3對(duì)于成為居住在美國(guó)、異族通婚的夫妻，我和蓋爾對(duì)未來沒有不切實(shí)際的幻想。相互信任和尊重才是我們倆永不枯竭的力量源泉。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.4a許多夫妻因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤的理由結(jié)了婚,結(jié)果在10年、20年或30年后才發(fā)覺他們?cè)瓉硎呛喜粊淼摹Ｋ麄冊(cè)诨榍皫缀鯖]有花時(shí)間去互相了解，他們忽視了嚴(yán)重的性格差異，指望婚姻會(huì)自然而然地解決各種問題。我們希望避免重蹈覆轍。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.4b事實(shí)更說明了這一點(diǎn)：已經(jīng)結(jié)婚35年的蓋爾的父母正經(jīng)歷著一場(chǎng)充滿怨恨、令人痛苦的婚變，這件事給蓋爾帶來了很大打擊,并一度給我們正處于萌芽狀態(tài)的關(guān)系造成了負(fù)面影響。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.5當(dāng)蓋爾把我們計(jì)劃舉辦婚禮的消息告訴家人時(shí)，她遇到了一些阻力。她的母親德博拉過去一直贊成我們的關(guān)系，甚至還開過玩笑，問我們打算何時(shí)結(jié)婚，這樣她就可以抱外孫了。但這次聽到我們要結(jié)婚的消息時(shí)，她沒有向我們表示祝賀，反而勸蓋爾想清楚自己的決定是否正確。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.6“這么說我跟他約會(huì)沒錯(cuò)，但是如果我跟他結(jié)婚，就錯(cuò)了。媽媽，是不是因?yàn)樗哪w色?”蓋爾后來告訴我她曾這樣問她母親。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.7a“首先我必須承認(rèn)，剛開始時(shí)我對(duì)異族通婚是有保留意見的，也許你甚至可以把這稱為偏見。但是當(dāng)我見到馬克時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他是一個(gè)既討人喜歡又聰明的年輕人。任何一個(gè)母親都會(huì)因?yàn)橛羞@樣一個(gè)女婿而感到臉上有光的。所以，這事跟膚色沒有關(guān)系。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.7b是的，我的朋友們會(huì)說閑話。有些朋友甚至對(duì)你所做的事表示震驚。但他們的生活與我們的不同。因此你要明白，馬克的膚色不是問題。我最大的擔(dān)心是你也許跟我當(dāng)初嫁給你爸爸一樣，為了錯(cuò)誤的原因而嫁給馬克。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.7c當(dāng)年我和你爸爸相遇時(shí)，在我眼中，他可愛、聰明、富有魅力又善解人意。一切都是那么新鮮、那么令人興奮。而且我們兩人都認(rèn)為，我們的婚姻是理想婚姻，至少表面上看是如此，而且一切跡象都表明我們的婚姻會(huì)天長(zhǎng)地久。直到后來我才明白，在我們結(jié)婚時(shí)，我并不十分理解我所愛的人——你的爸爸。”

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.8“但是我和馬克呆在一起已有兩年多了，”蓋爾抱怨道。“我們倆一起經(jīng)歷了許許多多的事情。我們彼此多次看到對(duì)方最糟糕的一面。我可以肯定時(shí)間只能證明我們是彼此深情相愛的?！?/p>

Para.9

“你也許是對(duì)的。但我還是認(rèn)為再等一等沒壞處。你才25歲?！?/p>

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.10a蓋爾的父親戴維——我還未見過他的面——以知事莫若父的態(tài)度對(duì)待我們的決定。他問的問題基本上和蓋爾母親的問題相同：“干嗎這么匆忙?這個(gè)馬克是什么人?他是什么公民身份?”

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.10b

當(dāng)他得知我辦公民身份遇到了問題時(shí)，就懷疑我是因?yàn)橄肓粼诿绹?guó)而娶他女兒的。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.11

“不過爸爸，你這話講得太難聽了，”蓋爾說。Para.12

“那么干嗎要這樣著急?”他重復(fù)地問。Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.13“馬克是有公民身份方面的問題，但他總是在自己處理這些問題，”蓋爾辯解道?！笆聦?shí)上，當(dāng)我們?cè)谟懻摻Y(jié)婚的時(shí)候，他清楚地表明了一點(diǎn)：如果我對(duì)任何事情有懷疑,我完全可以取消我們的計(jì)劃?！?/p>

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.14

她父親開始引用統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)說明異族通婚的離婚率比同族結(jié)婚的要高，而且還列舉了接受過他咨詢的、在婚姻上有麻煩的異族通婚夫婦的例子。Para.15他問道：“你考慮過你將來的孩子可能會(huì)遭受的苦難嗎?”

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.16

“爸爸，你是種族主義者嗎?”Para.17“不，當(dāng)然不是。但你必須得現(xiàn)實(shí)一點(diǎn)?！盤ara.18“也許我們的孩子會(huì)遇到一些問題。但誰的孩子不會(huì)呢?可是有一樣?xùn)|西他們將會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)擁有，那就是我們的愛?！盉ook2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglishPara.19

“那是理想主義的想法。人們對(duì)異族通婚生下的孩子是會(huì)很殘酷的?！盤ara.

20

“爸爸，到時(shí)候我們自己會(huì)操心的。但是假如我們?cè)谧鍪裁词轮?，就必須把所有的疑難問題全部解決的話，那么我們幾乎什么都干不成了?！盤ara.

21“記住，你什么時(shí)候改變主意都不晚。”Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglish盛衰；浮沉upsanddowns

回首往事，夫婦二人慶幸彼此互相扶助、共同經(jīng)歷了人生的起起落落。

Lookingbackonthepast,thecouplefeltluckythattheycouldstickupforeachotherthroughtheupsanddownsinlife.

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglish開誠(chéng)布公tobeopenwitheachother

作為朋友，我們要開誠(chéng)布公，而不是相互猜疑。Asfriends,weshouldbeopenwitheachotherratherthanfeeldoubtfulaboutoneanother.

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglish熱衷于某事tobeinvolvedwithsth.

她過分熱衷于打探他人的隱私，因而與人處不好關(guān)系。

Sheistooinvolvedwithothers’privacytobeongoodtermswithpeople.

Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglish對(duì)······(不)抱幻想tohave/harbor(no)illusionsabout…

男孩盡管意識(shí)到女孩不喜歡他,但仍對(duì)他們的愛情前景抱有幻想。

Theboy,thoughawareofthegirl’sdislikeforhim,harboredillusionsabouttheprospectsoftheirlove.Book2Unit3NewHorizonCollegeEnglish對(duì)某人/事意味著······

一個(gè)人的未來如何將與其今天所做的努力息息相關(guān)。
