1704998975
A: Are the ceremony and reception held in the same place?
1704998976
1704998977
A：婚礼和婚宴在同一地点举行吗？
1704998978
1704998979
B: No, not usually. Most people are married in a church, and then the wedding party and guests go to another place for the reception. Sometimes, however, they hold the reception in a big room in the church.
1704998980
1704998981
B：不一定，通常不在同一个地方。大多数人都在教堂举行婚礼，然后再到别处举办婚宴。但有时也在教堂的大房间里举办婚宴。
1704998982
1704998983
A: Where do they go?
1704998984
1704998985
A：他们都去哪儿呢？
1704998986
1704998987
B: Either they go to a public place such as a hotel, a restaurant, or a club, or to the home of the bride.
1704998988
1704998989
B：他们要么选一个公共场所，像饭店、餐厅或俱乐部，要么去新娘家。
1704998990
1704998991
A: They go to the home of the bride?
1704998992
1704998993
A：他们去新娘家？
1704998994
1704998995
B: Why do you ask?
1704998996
1704998997
B：为什么这样问呢？
1704998998
1704998999
A: The Chinese custom is to go to the groom’s home—just the opposite.
1704999000
1704999001
A：中国人的习惯刚好相反，是在新郎家宴客。
1704999002
1704999003
B: Oh! In America the bride’s family is responsible for the entire wedding—arrangement, costs, etc. So the reception is held at her home.
1704999004
1704999005
B：哦！在美国，婚礼的安排、费用等全部由新娘家负责，所以，请客也在新娘家。
1704999006
1704999007
A: That’s very expensive for the family of the bride.
1704999008
1704999009
A：这对女方家来说是一项很大的负担嘛。
1704999010
1704999011
B: Many American fathers joke that they would rather hold the ladder for their daughter to climb down and elope than pay for a wedding.
1704999012
1704999013
B：在美国，许多做父亲的常开玩笑说，他们宁愿替女儿扶住梯子，让她从楼上爬下来和情郎私奔，免得为她举行婚礼。
1704999014
1704999015
A: Tell me something about the bridal bouquet. Isn’t it the custom to throw it?
1704999016
1704999017
A：给我讲讲婚礼花束的事儿吧！是不是有扔花的风俗？
1704999018
1704999019
B: Yes. When the bride and groom are ready to leave on their honeymoon, all the single girls gather in one place. The bride stands with her back to them and throws her bouquet over her shoulder and they each try to catch it. The one who does will be the next one married.
