蜜月:honey moon
现在年轻人结婚越来越流行在婚宴结束后小夫妻俩来个浪漫的蜜月之旅~那蜜月到底是从何而来的呢?
In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough mead for a month,ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get honeymoon or, as the French say, lune de miel ("moon of honey").
在欧洲传统习俗中,新婚夫妇婚后的三十天内,每天都要喝由蜂蜜发酵制成的饮料,以增进生活的和谐。古时候,蜂蜜是生命、健康、和生育能力的象征。“蜜月”是新婚夫妇在恢复日常生活前,单独相处的甜蜜时光。
不同国家的人也有不一样的蜜月习俗~
Modern British honeymooners usually choose to head to beach destinations for their honeymoons, with the Maldives and the Caribbean the most popular honeymoon choices.
英国人比较喜欢把蜜月目的地选在海滨,马尔代夫和加勒比海地区是最受英国人喜爱的蜜月目的地。
