什么样的求婚方式最糟糕?

2011-11-08来源:和谐英语

7. The Post-Pregnancy Proposal
奉子求婚

Since it’s not the 1950's anymore and out-of-wedlock mothers aren’t required to wear the scarlet letter, there’s no reason to pop the question just because she’s pregnant. Getting married won’t change the fact that a baby is coming and all your beer money is now going to be going into the diaper fund. Do the gentleman-like thing, ask for the kid to be named after you, write her a check for 18 years of child support, and get a vasectomy.
现在已经不是20世纪50年代了,未婚先孕的妈妈也不会被钉上耻辱柱受世俗的指责,所以不用在她怀孕的时候突然求婚。结婚不会改变孩子马上要出生而你的零花钱得全部用作奶粉钱的事实。有点绅士风度,真诚地请求让这个孩子跟你姓,给她写张支票支付孩子未来18年的抚养费,然后去做结扎绝育手术。

小编注:《红字》19世纪美国作家霍桑的代表作,书中的女主角因为未婚先孕被迫带上代表耻辱的鲜红A字,A代表adultery。
