rule that if there was any African ancestor,the person is counted as“black”.,A green card is a permit to remain in the States and take a job.The writer is referring in part to“mail order brides”when a man in one country seeks a wife,via advertisement or an agency,from a country with economic problems.Clearly,the marriage is based on need rather than on love.,Text,Difficult sentences,3.In certain

世纪50 年代吧?那个时候黑白种族隔离是有法可依的。也许是20 世纪60 年代吧?那个时候有马丁路德金领导的民权运动。,Translation,原文,事实上,这篇报道发表于2009 年10 月。这个国家是著名的“大熔炉”,有着悠久的种族冲突的历史,也有一些成功融合的例子。这位法官今日仍然持有这种观点,我们是否应当感到耻辱?或者,他认识到了自己的错误并辞去职务,我们是否应当为此高兴?,Translation,原文,经济全球化运动使得全世界范围内商品共享、服务共享、技术共享,这促进了跨种族婚姻。经济全球化运动同样对社会和文化产生影响,这也许会带来不同种族间的友谊、爱情和婚姻。但是,在美国的某些地区,“一滴血原则”似乎仍然有很大的影响。这一原则的内容是:只要你有一滴非裔的血,你就是黑人。那么,现如今,对于跨种族婚姻双方和美国大众来说,这样的婚姻有什么样的挑战和机遇呢?,Translation,原文,在美国的某些政治和社交圈子里,人们认为跨种族婚姻只不过是为了让身为移民的一方得到绿卡,以便在此居留和工作。也有人声称,跨种族婚姻的动机在于较穷困的一方渴望获得经济保障,尽管这意味着他们也许不得不背井离乡。幸运的是,还有很多其他人明白人类的基本价值(如相互吸引)在跨种族婚姻中起着最重要的作用。,Translation,原文,无论结婚的真正动机是什么,所有这些情侣都会面对不同金钱观与不同传统价值观的挑战,这些传统价值观包括对伴侣的尊重、传统的宗教观、被社区接受、男女分工以及传统的语言观等。,Translation,原文,但是,他们面临的机遇也同样吸引人。一代又一代地更替,我们越发能够接受不同的种族与文化了。不同种族的人们之间的恋爱关系越发常见。事实上,如今有91%的青少年认为和其他种族的人约会是完全正常的。,Translation,原文,如果某个孩子的父母分属两种文化或两个种族,这个孩子就被称为“第三文化儿童”,他们在成长过程中学习两种不同的文化,与任何曾在多个国家或多种文化下生活的人都能相处融洽。不仅如此,他们也经常与不同背景的人结婚。最后一点:我们已经了解全球化以及在个人层面和实际层面上分享观念、传统、习俗和态度的益处。,Translation,原文,那么,我们怎么看待那些不赞成跨种族婚姻的人呢?这是他们的问题,不是我们的问题,这样说当然很简单。但有时候,我们很难抵御世俗的残酷和无情。,原文,Translation,“他们是跨种族婚姻。她是阿肯色州人,而他来自肯塔基,但他们似乎过得不错。”这是一句众所周知的话,但在任何婚姻或情侣关系中,无论对方是相同种族的人还是不同种族的人,你都必须调整自己,以使双方幸福地生活在一起。,Translation,原文,对于跨种族婚姻的双方来说,要面对所有的挑战、抓住所有的机会,关键是什么呢?是爱。,Translation,原文,为了享受地球村带来的各种好处,挑战不信任陌生人的群体偏见,我们只需记住罗马诗人维吉尔的著名诗句:爱能征服一切。,Translation,原文,Main
