In addition, it might be related to the geographic features and land areaof a certain region,which affect traffic possibility and labor demand volume.Guangdong is a case in point again, since it has better transportationsituation and is bigger geographically compared to the restregions here in thegraph.Whatever the reason, the floating has caused many a new issue, not only tofloatingindividuals, but to the source and target regions:How to keep the family life normal and stable?How to take care of the 〝left-behind children〞?How to protect the rights of the rural laborers now in urban areas?

Some people believe that the Internet is a great asset. Moderntechnology considerably alters the way people communicate with each other. Also,people can now acquire useful information online with a click of the mouse.However, there is a growing concern about the potential drawbacks of theInternet, especially in terms of personal security. For e_ample, WeChat maye_pose one’s location to strangers by positioning function, cheat one’s friendsby faking identity, and lose one’s money in the electronic wallet.Owing to the accelerated pace of contemporary life, people’s work and lifeare increasingly confined to a narrow space.

Equal Status in Marriage and Family Life

Equal Status in Marriage and Family Life

Equal Status in Marriage and Family LifeThe founding of New China put an end to the feudal marital and family system that had endured for several millennia. Independent marriage based on mutual love and a family life in which husband and wife are equal have become the main current in contemporary Chinese Society.Women have gained the right of self-determination in marriage. In old China, over 95 percent of marriages were arranged and on a monetary basis. Over the last 40-odd years, the degree of freedom in choosing a partner has increased significantly. Sample investigations show that 74 percent of young couples make the decision themselves to wed or do so after consultation with their parents, and 80 percent of marriages of women under 40 years old are based on their own choice. Women's rights with regard to divorce and remarriage are also duly guaranteed. This fact has helped improve the quality of marriage and enhance family stability. In addition, it lays an emotional foundation for equality between husband and wife in the family.Chinese women have gained the important personal right of being able to retain their maiden names. In old China, surnames symbolized the continuity of a clan. Most women had no formal name before marriage. They adopted their husband's surname after they wed and children used their father's surname. In New China, both husband and wife have equal right to use their own names and children do not have to adopt their father's surname as was the former custom. In cities, quite a few children take their mother's surname.Women's economic independence has promoted their status in the family. In old China, family heads were predominantly men. In New China, women earn their own income through work. The share of women's earnings in total family income has risen from 20 percent in the 1950s to the present 40 percent. In some families, especially rural households which are headed by women and which specialize in certain areas of production, the money brought in by women makes up as much as 60-70 percent of the family total. As they have become economically independent, Chinese women have gained more management anddecision-making power in principal family and economic matters. Sample investigations show that in over 58 percent of urban and rural families, major affairs are decided by the husband and wife together. This figure continues to climb.Women enjoy the same rights of possession and inheritance of family property as men. In old China, family assets could only be owned and inherited by men. If a widow remarried, she could take nothing and a married daughter had no right to inherit anything from her parents. Nowadays, in the overwhelming majority of families, husband and wife jointly own family property and they have equal access to its use and allocation. It has become common practice for husband and wife to enjoy the same bequeathment rights and for sons and daughters to have equal rights as heirs.Historical changes have taken place in family relationship. The traditional family characterized by the authority of husband and patriarchal system has gradually been replaced by the modern family mode, marked by equality and a democratic and harmonious atmosphere. In both urban and rural areas, the relationships between husband and wife and between parents-in-law and daughter-in-law are equal. There is social disapproval ofill-treatment meted out to wives and daughters-in-law. Women's personal dignity, their rights to education and work as well as their ideals and pursuits, are generally respected by their husbands and other family members. In the past, a wife took on all the housework. Nowadays, in most Chinese families, husband and wife share this task together. They support each other in their careers and help each other in everyday life. In China, such families with close emotional ties are emerging in large numbers.China has 267 million families and every year about 10 million newlywed couples join their ranks. The Chinese government has consistently protected marriage and the family, emphasized equality between husband and wife, and fostered the Chinese national tradition of respect for the old, love for the young and harmonious relations in the family. Currently, the divorce rate in China is 1.54 per thousand. Because Chinese families are basically stable, family functions, such as living arrangements, child rearing and support for the elderly, are fully in evidence. Most of the elderly enjoy support and care from their children as well as society.The Chinese government pays much attention to the building of families and considers family stability and progress to be the basis for social stability and progress. Governments at all levels list enhancement of family cultural levels in their overall planning for local cultural and ideological advance. Much effective work has been done in this regard. Associations for respect of the elderly and for fostering of morals, and wedding and funeral councils have been set up in many places, effectively improving the general family and village atmosphere. Over the years, campaigns to create civilized and fine families and various other related activities have been launched in urban and rural areas. They have helped improve the overall attributes of family members and promote family democracy and harmony, between husband and wife and among all members.The Chinese government has made significant efforts to promote social welfare undertakings and accelerate the socialization of housework. The state encourages and supports efforts to expand community services. Handy help networks have been set up in large numbers, and efforts are made to develop branches that are closely related to daily life -- foodstuffs, vegetables, commerce, gas and light industrial products. Currently, various housework service facilities are surging in urban and rural China. There are 450,000 nurseries and kinder-gartens nationwide. The entrance rate to these reaches 70 percent of pre-school age children in towns and 32 percent in the countryside. Convenience foods and electrical household appliances are finding their way into families. As a result, the average time women spend on housework daily has generally decreased. In cities, professional women put an average of 3.75 hours into household chores. This is almost equivalent to the time spent on such tasks by their female counterparts in developed countries.Women's rights to decide whether or not to bear children are duly protected. In old China, women were just child bearing tools, and they were often persecuted by their parents-in-law or abandoned by their husbands because they were unable to provide any offspring, let alone a son. In New China, women are in control of their own child bearing and they can discuss with their spouses whether or not they will go through with a pregnancy. Historically, Chinese women were victims of early marriage and burdened by excessive numbers of offspring. They display great enthusiasm for the state's family planning policy and the overwhelming majority of them are willing to marry late and have children late, and to have fewer children so as to guarantee a better quality of life for them. The contraception rate among married women reaches 83 percent in the country as a whole, and over 90 percent in some places. In 1992, the birth rate for the Chinese population was 18.24 per thousand and the natural population growth rate was 11.6 per thousand, representing respective decreases of 45.4 percent and 55 percent over 1970. In the same period, the gross fertility rate fell from 5.81 to about 2.0.Maternal health is protected by the state. In old China, since there were no maternity and child care centers, countless women died from pregnancy complications or other gynaecological complaints. New China has devoted much efforts to developing health care for women and children. Governments at all levels have special functional departments in charge of maternity and child hygiene. Health centers in this regard have been set up at all levels in both urban and rural areas. By the end of 1992, China had 346 maternity and children's health care centers, 2,841 clinics and 34 pediatric hospitals, initially forming a national health network for women and children. At present, 98 percent of pregnant women in urban areas and 70 percent in rural areas can receive prenatal examinations. Modern methods are adopted for 84.1 percent of deliveries in China. Compared with the early days after the founding of New China, the mortality rate for pregnant and lying-in women has dropped from 1,500 per hundred thousand to about 94.7 per hundred thousand, and the infant mortality rate has fallen from 200 per thousand to 31.42 per thousand. Some common ailments and frequently-occurring diseases that threaten female health have effectively been prevented or put under control. Every year close to 40 million women receive preventive health checks. In the light of the poor hygienic and medical conditions and high incidence of disease in ethnic minority areas, the state has attached great importance to developing women's health care facilities there. Enormous efforts have been put into popularizing modern delivery methods, health care for women and children, prevention and control of frequently-occurring diseases and elementary knowledge of hygiene and sanitation. Much has been done to train midwives and gynecological and pediatric medical workers. In addition, authorities at all levels often organize mobile medical teams to visit farming and pastoral areas and other ethnic communities. Free medical care for women is provided in Tibet and other regions.Thanks to all these efforts, the average life expectancy of Chinese women has risen from 36.7 years in old China to the present 72 years. This is three years above the figure for Chinese men and seven years higher than the average life expectancy of 65 years set as a goal by the United Nations for the women of the world by the year 2000.However, in spite of all these achievements, the influence of feudal concepts and regional imbalances in economic and cultural development continues to show their effect. The bad habits of arranged and mercenary marriage linger on in some rural areas, especially in the outlying and backward spots. Cases of drowning and abandonment of female infants and trafficking in women occur from time to time. The Chinese government is paying close attention to these problems. It is vigorously advocating the equality of the sexes and educating women to use legal weapons to defend themselves. Strong measures have been adopted against unlawful cruel treatment of women to ensure that their legitimate rights and interests are not infringed upon.。

婚姻与家庭英文作文

婚姻与家庭英文作文

婚姻与家庭英文作文英文:Marriage and family are two of the most important aspects of life. They are closely related and have a significant impact on each other. In my opinion, marriageis the foundation of a family, and a strong and healthy family is the key to a happy and fulfilling life.Marriage is a commitment between two people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. It requires love, trust, respect, and communication. These are the building blocks of a successful marriage. Without them, a marriage is likely to fail. For example, if a couple doesn't communicate well, they may have misunderstandings and conflicts that can lead to resentment and eventually, divorce.A strong and healthy family is built on a foundation of love, respect, and support. It's important for familymembers to spend time together, share their feelings, and support each other through good times and bad. For example, when my grandfather passed away, my family came together to support each other and help each other through the grieving process. We leaned on each other for emotional support and shared memories of my grandfather. This brought us closer together and strengthened our bond as a family.In today's society, there are many challenges that can put a strain on marriages and families. For example, financial stress, work-life balance, and technology can all have a negative impact on relationships. It's important for couples and families to recognize these challenges and work together to overcome them. This requires open communication, compromise, and a willingness to make changes.In conclusion, marriage and family are essential components of a happy and fulfilling life. They require love, trust, respect, and communication to thrive. By building strong and healthy relationships, we can create a supportive and loving environment for ourselves and our loved ones.中文:婚姻与家庭是生活中最重要的两个方面。

综合英语第七册课文翻译

综合英语第七册课文翻译

中国的人文主义要了解中国人的人生理想,就必须先了解中国的人文主义。

“人文主义”这个词含义模糊含混,然而中国的人文主义却有它明确的界说。

它的意思是:第一,对人生目的的确切认识;第二,为实现这一目的而行动;第三,实现的方式是心平气和,即中庸之道,也可称作“庸见的崇拜”。

人生的意义是什么,这个问题一直使西方哲学家备受困惑。

他们从目的论出发,认为包括蚊子乃至伤寒菌在内的万事万物,都是为这个自负的人类的利益而存在的。

如此这般,人生的意义就从来没有揭示出来过。

今生今世自有百般磨难,因而自傲的人类始终无法事事如意。

于是目的论又转向来生来世,把今生的世俗生活看作为来世所进行的准备。

这与苏格拉底的逻辑恰好符合,即认为一个凶悍的妻子对她丈夫的性格锤炼来说,是一种天然的恩赐。

以此躲避人生的难题固然可以使人暂时心平气和,但问题仍旧没有答案:“人生的意义何在?”另外有一些人,像尼采那样知难而上,否认人生“必须”有什么意义,认为人类的进步不过是一种循环,一种野蛮人的舞蹈,而不是去市场采购,所以没有什么特殊的含义。

然而问题还是没能解决,它就像海浪一样不断冲击着堤岸:“人生的意义究竟何在?”中国的人文主义者认为自己找到了人生的真谛,并时时意识到这一点。

在中国人看来,人生在世并非为了死后的来生,对于基督教所谓此生为来世的观点,他们大惑不解,他们进而认为:佛教所谓升入涅槃境界,过于玄虚;为了获得成功的欢乐而奋斗,纯属虚荣;为了进步而去进步,则是毫无意义。

中国人明确认为:人生的真谛在于享受淳朴的生活,尤其是家庭生活的欢乐和社会诸关系的和睦,儿童入学伊始,第一首诗便是:云淡风轻近午天,傍花随柳过前川。

时人不识余心乐,将谓偷闲学少年。

在中国人看来,这不仅代表片刻的诗意般的快乐心境,并且是追求人生幸福的目标。

中国人就是陶醉在这样一种人生理想之中,它既不暧昧,又不玄虚,而是十分实在。

我必须说,这是一种异常简单的理想,简单到非中国人老实巴交的头脑想不出来。

中西方婚礼区别和相同之处英语作文

中西方婚礼区别和相同之处英语作文

中西方婚礼区别和相同之处英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The wedding ceremony is a significant event in both Western and Eastern cultures. While there are distinct differences between the two, there are also some similarities that highlight the universal nature of love and marriage. In this essay, I will explore the similarities and differences between Western and Eastern wedding ceremonies.In Western cultures, weddings are typically a formal affair with a focus on the bride and groom. The ceremony is usually held in a church or a designated wedding venue, with the bride wearing a white dress and the groom in a suit. The exchange of vows and rings is a central part of the ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love between the couple. Western weddings often include traditions such as the father of the bride walking her down the aisle, the throwing of the bridal bouquet, and the first dance as husband and wife.In contrast, Eastern wedding ceremonies are often more elaborate and include a variety of rituals and traditions that havebeen passed down through generations. In countries such as China, India, and Japan, weddings are seen as a joining of two families rather than just two individuals. The ceremony may include rituals such as the lighting of a unity candle, the tying of the knot, or the drinking of sake as a symbol of unity.Despite these differences, there are some similarities between Western and Eastern wedding ceremonies. Both cultures place a strong emphasis on the importance of family and community in marriage. In both cultures, weddings are seen as a celebration of love and commitment, and are often accompanied by feasting and dancing.Another similarity is the symbolism of certain rituals in both cultures. For example, the exchange of rings in Western weddings symbolizes the eternal nature of love, while the tying of the knot in Eastern weddings symbolizes the couple's union. Both cultures also place a strong emphasis on the importance of vows and promises made during the ceremony.In conclusion, while there are distinct differences between Western and Eastern wedding ceremonies, there are also some similarities that highlight the universal nature of love and marriage. Both cultures place a strong emphasis on the importance of family, love, and commitment in marriage, andboth use rituals and traditions to symbolize the union between the couple. Ultimately, weddings in both Western and Eastern cultures are a celebration of love and the beginning of a new chapter in a couple's life together.篇2The wedding ceremony is one of the most significant events in people's lives and is often considered a universal tradition across cultures. However, the way weddings are celebrated can vary greatly between different regions and ethnic groups. In this essay, we will explore the differences and similarities between Western and Eastern wedding ceremonies.First and foremost, let's discuss the differences between Western and Eastern weddings. One of the most noticeable distinctions is the attire. In Western weddings, the bride typically wears a white dress symbolizing purity and innocence, while the groom wears a suit or tuxedo. In contrast, Eastern weddings may involve colorful and embellished traditional attire, such as a red qipao for the bride in a Chinese wedding.Furthermore, the rituals and customs also differ between the two cultures. For example, Western weddings often include rituals such as the exchange of rings, vows, and the throwing ofthe bouquet. In Eastern weddings, customs can vary greatly depending on the region and culture. In a Japanese wedding, for instance, the couple may perform a traditional tea ceremony, while in an Indian wedding, there may be a series of religious ceremonies and rituals lasting several days.In addition to the attire and rituals, the role of family and guests in weddings also varies between Western and Eastern cultures. Western weddings typically involve a large number of guests, including friends, extended family members, and sometimes even acquaintances. In contrast, Eastern weddings may have a more intimate guest list, with only close family members and friends invited to witness the ceremony.Despite these differences, there are also some commonalities between Western and Eastern weddings. One shared element is the importance of symbolism and tradition in both cultures. Whether it's the exchange of rings in a Western wedding or the lighting of a unity candle in an Eastern wedding, symbolic gestures are an integral part of both ceremonies.Furthermore, both Western and Eastern weddings often include elements of celebration and feasting. In Western weddings, this may involve a formal sit-down dinner or a livelydance party. In Eastern weddings, guests may be treated to a lavish banquet with traditional dishes and entertainment.Another similarity between Western and Eastern weddings is the emphasis on love and commitment between the couple. Regardless of cultural differences, the fundamental purpose of a wedding ceremony is to celebrate the union of two people in love and to signify their commitment to each other.In conclusion, while there are notable differences between Western and Eastern wedding ceremonies, there are also many similarities that highlight the universal themes of love, commitment, and celebration. Whether it's a white gown or a red qipao, an exchange of rings or a traditional tea ceremony, weddings in both cultures are a beautiful celebration of the bond between two individuals. Ultimately, it is the love and dedication of the couple that matter most, regardless of cultural customs and traditions.篇3Differences and Similarities between Western and Chinese WeddingsWeddings are a significant moment in people’s lives, regardless of cultural background. While the basic concept ofcelebrating the union of two people in love is universal, the way couples in the West and in China approach their weddings can be quite different. In this essay, we will explore the main differences and similarities between Western and Chinese weddings.One of the most noticeable differences between Western and Chinese weddings is the way they are celebrated. Western weddings are often grand affairs held in churches or luxurious venues, with elaborate decorations, formal attire, and a sit-down dinner reception. In contrast, Chinese weddings are usually more intimate and traditional, with ceremonies held at the couple’s home or a local banquet hall, and the focus is on the customs and rituals that have been passed down through generations.In terms of traditions and customs, Western and Chinese weddings also have distinct differences. In Western weddings, the bride typically wears a white dress, symbolizing purity and innocence, while the groom wears a suit or tuxedo. The bride usually carries a bouquet of flowers, and the couple exchanges rings as a symbol of their commitment to each other. In Chinese weddings, the bride traditionally wears a red qipao or cheongsam, symbolizing good luck and prosperity, while the groom wears a traditional Chinese suit or a tuxedo. The couplemay also participate in various rituals, such as the tea ceremony, where they serve tea to their parents and elders as a sign of respect and gratitude.Despite these differences, there are also some similarities between Western and Chinese weddings. Both types of weddings involve the exchange of vows and the declaration of love and commitment between the couple. Both types of weddings also usually include a reception with food, drinks, and dancing to celebrate the newlyweds. Additionally, in both Western and Chinese weddings, family and friends play a significant role in the celebration, providing support andwell-wishes for the couple’s future together.In conclusion, while Western and Chinese weddings may have their unique customs and traditions, at the heart of it all, they are celebrations of love, unity, and the beginning of a new chapter in a couple’s life. Regardless of the differences in culture and practice, the sentiment behind a wedding remains the same – the celebration of two people coming together in love and commitment. Through these celebrations, we honor the past, embrace the present, and look forward to the future with hope and joy.。

婚姻和家庭英文作文英文:Marriage and family are two of the most important aspects of life. They are closely related and often go hand in hand. In my opinion, a successful marriage is built on trust, communication, and mutual respect. Without these key elements, a marriage is likely to fail.Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, including marriage. It is important to trust your partner and to be trustworthy yourself. This means being honest, reliable, and faithful. Without trust, a marriage is likely to be filled with suspicion, jealousy, and insecurity.Communication is also essential in a successful marriage. It is important to be open and honest with your partner and to listen to their thoughts and feelings. Communication should be respectful and non-judgmental. It is also important to communicate effectively during timesof conflict. This means staying calm, stating your needs, and actively listening to your partner's perspective.Finally, mutual respect is crucial in any marriage.

家庭与婚姻英文作文

家庭与婚姻英文作文英文:Family and marriage are two very important aspects of our lives. They shape who we are and how we interact with the world around us. For me, family has always been a source of love, support, and guidance. My parents have always been there for me, offering advice and encouragement whenever I needed it. They have taught me the values of hard work, perseverance, and kindness, and I am gratefulfor the strong foundation they have provided for me.My siblings are also an important part of my family. We may not always see eye to eye, but at the end of the day, we are there for each other. We share a bond that is unbreakable, and I know that I can always count on them to have my back. Whether it's celebrating each other's achievements or providing a shoulder to lean on during tough times, my siblings are always there for me.As for marriage, I believe it is a partnership built on love, trust, and mutual respect. I have seen firsthand the importance of communication and compromise in a successful marriage. My aunt and uncle, for example, have been married for over 30 years, and their relationship is a true testament to the power of love and understanding. They have weathered many storms together, but their commitment to each other has never wavered. They are a constant source of inspiration for me in my own relationships.中文:家庭和婚姻是我们生活中非常重要的两个方面。

父母婚姻英文作文

父母婚姻英文作文英文:My parents' marriage has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. They met in college and fell in love instantly. They were the perfect match – he was the outgoing and adventurous type, while she was more reserved and nurturing. They got married young and started a family soon after.At first, everything seemed perfect. They were happy and in love, and I had a blissful childhood. But as time went on, cracks started to show in their relationship. They began to argue more, and I could sense the tension whenever they were together. It was like walking on eggshells around them.Things came to a head when my dad lost his job. The financial stress put a huge strain on their marriage, and they started fighting constantly. I remember feeling sohelpless and scared, not knowing what would happen to our family.But despite all the hardships, they never gave up on each other. They sought counseling and worked through their issues, and eventually, things started to improve. Itwasn't easy – there were times when I thought they would never make it – but they persevered.Now, after 30 years of marriage, they are stronger than ever. They've weathered the storms and come out on the other side, and I couldn't be prouder of them. They've taught me that love isn't always easy, but it's worth fighting for.中文:我父母的婚姻可以说是一次跌宕起伏的旅程。
