事业型婚姻

The generation gap quickly became apparent when Itried to discuss marriage with my daughter, who isvery career-oriented. "A husband might not tolerateyour ambition forever," I pointed out. "He mightbecome concerned about how such total dedicationto a job could fit into a successful relationship." "Youdon't understand, Dad," my daughter countered. "It's going to be a merger, not a takeover."

和女儿讨论婚姻的时候，我和她之间的代沟马上就一清二楚了。她一切都以事业为重。“你的事业心那么强，当丈夫的也许不能一直忍受下去。”我指出，“他可能会担心你把心思都用在工作上了，怎么能让婚姻美满。”“你不明白，爸爸。”我女儿反驳道，“婚姻是‘合并’，不是‘接管’!”
