情景交际-中国式离婚

　　M: same here. Have you seen any new films recently?

　　D: no, I haven't had a chance to. But I've been watching a Chinese TV series called "Chinese-Style Divorce¹."

　　M: oh, really? I saw it two years ago. It's worth seeing and it's thought-provoking.

　　D: yeah. I found it is so close to our life.

　　M: it reflects some of our difficulties in this ever-changing world.

　　D: you said it. You know, the divorce rate has been on the rise in recent years.

　　M: well, it's said that a lot of young people favor getting married quickly which tend end quickly too.

　　D: I know a couple who divorced² a week after getting married.

　　M: oh, that's too short-lived.

　　D: that's true. It's said the short-lived marriage is typical of the "post-80s" generation.

　　M: I can't agree more. The "only-child" generation in China tends to know little about marriage.

　　D: definitely³. They don't take relationships and marriages very seriously.

　　M: in their mind, love is nothing but passion and marriage is over once the passion is gone.

　　D: I think, as the saying goes "haste⁴ makes waste", it is the same thing with marriage.
