听报道

上海女孩逃离江西的事情,有人说可能是捏造,但搅动了这么大舆论,倒是真切说明了不少社会问题。在国外,也有不少媒体关注此事,老百姓评论不少。如下说法摘自每日邮报》、《雅虎新闻

少数人对这事表示理解:

"得了,世界哪里不是这样。看看美国布什家的家族谱系吧,看他们都跟谁结婚,找的是什么工作。" “这事两方面看都可以,结婚看家庭不看本人似乎肤浅了,不过也很正常,人总要找门当户对的。"“但愿这对我们所有人择偶都是教训…找一个原原本本按照你的现状接纳你的人,一起走人生道路,一起打造未来。以幸福为主,因为钱财我们都死不带走。”

大部分人直言不讳地表达对这女子做法的反感,有的话说得很难听:

“女孩绝对有权利选择是留下来还是甩掉那个男的,本来就是自由的世界,对不对?可是往社交媒体上贴,就太市侩,太不仁义了。这教养让人难以恭维。”“等她到了30还嫁不出去,无奈嫁给一个四十好几大腹便便每两分钟叼上一支烟对她根本无所谓的有钱佬,再来看她笑话。”“中国女人也跟卡戴珊一样了。这个世界越来越糟糕。”“没准日后她可以找个天天在家揍她、在外头胡混的老公。”“可怜可恶。但愿她一辈子也找不到对象。”

很多人为男孩庆幸,没有误入一条婚姻死胡同:

“还好,他这是躲过了一颗子弹呀…”“貌似他逃过了一劫。”“她一开始就不爱他,还好现在跑掉,而不是婚姻中间。”这男的很幸运。和这女孩关系本来也不牢固。很糟糕,这女孩是在当众秀肤浅,但愿她以后会成熟。”“这女人好恶心。男的很幸运,早早发现了。太物质!”“摆脱‘淘金女’的好办法啊。这男的找个真正的女人,总会胜过这种娇惯坏的女人。这种人日后自会有社会地位比她高的男人来收拾,会有报应的。”“对他更好。那些看重钱财的女子,一旦找到新的饭票,还是要跑的。”

倒霉的上海频频中枪:

“上海的女孩是全中国最拜金的。除非你财大气粗,否则跟她们免谈。她们就是有钱付账,也指望你来付。”“想找中国女孩恋爱的话,一定要问清楚她是什么地方人。这些情况我们西方人搞不清楚的。如果是上海人就不要谈了。她们最物质,最拜金,对其他地方人最排外。我可是吃过亏的。”“听到‘上海’二字就赶紧撤。过去印度尼西亚王把中国人说成东方犹太人,说的就是上海人。中国其他地方人不像这样…”

看来上海女郎已经名声不佳,建议上海媒体不要再为女孩做法(尤其是发帖发照片的做法)背书、护短,不然会让上海好女孩跟着遭殃。甚至有很多人说整个中国都这样。有一个人挖苦道:“情人节前看到迷人的东方有这种爱的故事,真让人暖心呀。”

此事但愿已结束,不妨借此机会学点讨论此类话题的词汇: 

  1. to dump/break up with someone: 甩掉...
  2. to date/marry within their own league: 找门当户对的恋爱/结婚
  3. meal ticket: 被当成了饭票用的配偶
  4. gold digger: 淘金女,指看中钱而结婚的人
  5. money hungry women/materialistic women: 拜金女
  6. to have a big wallet:财大气粗
  7. to have a lucky escape/to dodge a bullet: 逃过一劫
  8. to get the taste of her own medicine : 遭报应/要还的
原文(例句)附后,可能我翻译得比较委婉了。

 

  • Peter Hanley: Yeah, like this doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. Just take the time to look at the Bush family tree in the USA and see who married who and what job they ended up in.
  • Dfreybur: I see it both ways. It's shallow because it's about one specific topic that is about his family not about him. It's natural because people tend to date within their own league.
  • David: Let this be a lesson for all those searching for their partners…invest your future in someone who loves you for who you are instead of what you have. Then, enjoy the journey of life building your futures together. Focus on happiness because nobody will take their possessions with them when they die.
  • Freda: The girl has every right to choose whether to stay or dump the guy. A free world, right? But to post it on social media makes her a snob and inhuman. So sorry for the bad manners.
  • 可瑞: Joke will really be on her when she's unmarried at age 30 and has to settle for some 40 year old with lots of money but with a white wine pot belly, a cigarette in his mouth every 2 minutes and no real interest in being good to her.
  • Andrew: Wow, sounds like Chinese women are starting to become Asian Kardashians. The world is screwed up.
  • Del-one: She would probably have a rich husband that beats her and screws around on her.
  • Radovan: Pathetic vile element. Wish she will never find anybody in her life.
  • John Lucas: well he dodged a bullet then....
  • CeeDee:It appears that he has had a lucky escape.
  • Hai Dozo: She never really loved him inthe first place and it's good she left now instead of during the marriage.
  • Lohani: The guy is lucky that the relationship ended. His relationship with the girl was never on solid grounds.Too bad the lady has chosen to display her shallowness in public. I hope she grows with time.
  • TrueSINporean: She is SICK LADY. He is fortunate to find out long earlier. Too materialistic character.
  • Theodore: One way to get rid of gold digging #$%$. He probably did himself a huge favor by getting rid of that gold digger. He's better off with a real women and not a spoiled little brat. She'll get her taste of her own medicine when she meets a man who's status is above hers and treats her like a piece of dog poop.
  • Gary: He's better off. Money hungry women would leave u anyway once they find a better meal ticket.
  • Richard: Shanghai Woman are one of the most materialist woman city in China. Don't date them unless you have a big wallet, they expect you paid almost everything even though they can afford it.
  • “whitedude”: If you are going to date a chinese girl, always ask which part of China she is from. This is something westerners we don't know. If she is from Shanghai don't ever date them, they are the most materialistic, money hung, and racist against all other non-shanghai chinese of all. I had my bad experiences already, and learned my lessons.
  • Now I See: The moment you hear the word 'Shanghai', you should have hit the exit. When the king of Indonesia called Chinese "the Jew of the Orient", he was referring to the Shanghai people. The rest of China is nothing like them…
  • Google It: As we approach Valentine's Day, it's heartening to read about true love in the enchanting Orient.
