地道美语听力播客828: 非传统的婚姻（双语）

Karam: You and Daniel have been dating for over a year. Are you guys thinking of tying the knot?
卡拉姆：你跟丹尼尔已经交往一年了，你俩有结婚的打算吗？
Raphaela: I’m not sure. Neither Daniel nor I believe in following conventions. We’re both open to an unconventional relationship.
拉斐尔：我不太确定。我跟丹尼尔都不是遵循传统的人。我俩都接受非传统的感情关系。
Karam: What kind of unconventional relationship?
卡拉姆：什么样的非传统关系？
Raphaela: Many different kinds. We’re very open-minded.
拉斐尔：很多种。我们都很开放。
Karam: Okay, for instance, would you guys be open to polygamy? Somehow I can’t picture either of you sharing your spouse with someone else.
卡拉姆：好吧，举例来说，你们能接受多配偶制吗？总之，我无法想象你俩任何一个人能跟其他人分享自己的配偶。
Raphaela: Well, no, I don’t think that would be right for us. The more people involved in a relationship, the more difficult it becomes, I think.
拉斐尔：不，我认为我们不能接受那一套。并且我认为，一段感情里牵扯的人越多，感情就越复杂。
Karam: Then you wouldn’t be open to an open marriage.
卡拉姆：所以你们不会接受开放式婚姻。
Raphaela: That’s probably not something I’d want.
拉斐尔：那应该不是我想要的。
Karam: The only other unconventional marriages I can think of are arranged marriages and May-December romances. Neither of those applies to you and Daniel. Am I missing something?
卡拉姆：我能想到的其他非传统婚姻只有包办婚姻和忘年恋。可这两种都不适用于你跟丹尼尔。还有什么其他我不知道的形式吗？
Raphaela: Well, we’d be open to living apart. We’re both very independent and would want to retain that independence.
拉斐尔：我们可以接受分开住。我们俩都很独立，而且希望保持这种独立性。
Karam: Ah, then there’s my answer. I know what kind of unconventional marriage you’d have.
卡拉姆：这样啊。那我就理解你们是什么样的非传统婚姻了。
Raphaela: What?
拉斐尔：什么样的？
Karam: A relationship without cohabitating? Dating.
卡拉姆：不同居的恋爱。
