P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 42

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

I do not approve or recommend early marriages. The minds of men and women taking so important a step in life should be somewhat matured, and hasty marriages, especially marriages of boys and girls, have been the cause of untold misery in many instances. But although I was only little more than nineteen years old when I was married, I have always felt assured that if I had waited twenty years longer I could not have found another woman so well suited to my disposition and so admirable and valuable in every character as a wife, a mother, and a friend.

白话

巴纳姆并不赞成或推荐早婚。他认为,男女在迈出人生如此重要的一步时,心智应当比较成熟;草率的婚姻,尤其是少男少女的婚姻,在许多情况下造成了难以言说的痛苦。但他也说,自己结婚时虽然才十九岁出头,却一直确信:哪怕再等二十年,也找不到另一个在性情上如此相投、作为妻子、母亲和朋友都如此可敬可贵的女人。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中回顾自己十九岁结婚的经历,既表达对早婚的保留态度,又庆幸自己遇到了合适的伴侣。

今日一问

你认为结婚前最重要的成熟标志是什么?你或身边的人具备了吗?
