   如果说婚礼是一对新人接受众人祝福的仪式,那么蜜月就是这对新人携手开始婚姻旅程的起点。在中国传统文化中并没有“蜜月”一说,随着中国和国际接轨的步伐越来越快,中外文化交流越来越频繁,不少年轻人也效仿外国新婚夫妇,给自己的婚姻生活策划一个甜蜜的“蜜月旅行”。


  文化背景:
  In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough mead 1 for a month, ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get honeymoon 2 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,或直到月缺时,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。
  strong>他们都去哪里度蜜月?
  In Europe the honeymoon is of significance to wedding couples, and many newlyweds travel for their honeymoon. Modern British honeymooners usually choose to head to beach destinations for their honeymoons 3, with the Maldives and the Caribbean the most popular honeymoon choices.
  在欧洲,蜜月对于一对新人来说是很重要的,很多新人会选择通过旅行的方式来度蜜月。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。
  American honeymoon couples love their tropical beach honeymoons. Approximately 60% of American couples have international honeymoons, spending on average 11% of their wedding budget.
  美国新人比较喜欢热带海滩蜜月之旅。大约60%美国夫妻选择去国外度蜜月。他们蜜月旅行的花费大概占他们婚礼开支的11%。
  想要拥有一个完美的蜜月旅行,首先当然是要确定一个蜜月旅行地点(Destination of your honeymoon)。想要找到一个让双方满意的蜜月目的地首先得考虑以下几个因素:
  Figure out the length of your stay.
  决定你们到底想去多远。[cn]
  Figure out what you want in a destination.
  [cn]想想你们在蜜月目的地想要什么。
  Figure out what you can afford.
  估计你们大概能花多少钱来度蜜月。
