Down-to-earth Marriage
As a new way of getting married, down-to-earthmarriage means that a couple marries each other byonly applying for a marriage certificate without anapartment, a car, a wedding ceremony, ahoneymoon, or even a wedding ring. This form of marriage can cost as little as only nine yuan.As young people in modern times live under great pressure and place emphasis on theindependence of love, the tradition that “an apartment is a must for marriage” and “weddingceremony should be held on a grand scale” has weakened among the young generation. Manypeople believe that a down-to-earth marriage is a testament to the pure love between thecouple.
1.裸婚:裸婚是一个新出现的词汇,本没有对应的固定说法,但并不适宜按照字面意思直译naked wedding,因为这样很容易使人联想到“裸体婚礼”。down-to-earth意为“现实的、直接的、朴素的”,更符合“裸婚”的内涵。
2.领取结婚证:这个领取其实是指“申请领取”,故用applyfor。
3.最低成本只有:可直译为the lowest cost of…is only...,也可译为cost as little as...,后者更能突出“花得少”这一涵义。
4.必须有:可以理解为“是…的必备条件”,即sth. is a must for...
5.大肆操办:可译为be held on a grand scale。
6.见证:这里译为is a testament to, “见证”这个词的其他译法包括 evidence、proof 或者witness。
