   据报道,在清明节即将到来之际,民政部在一个论坛上鼓励民众实行网上葬礼。民政部官员称网上葬礼将避免自然资源的浪费,便于人们纪念死者。然而由于这一理念和中国传统观念相冲突,这种“绿色”葬礼恐怕难以让中国民众接受。


  Online funerals or burials would not retain the ashes, but set up an online cemetery 1 and memorialize the deceased by posting an obituary 2 and funeral messages。
  网上葬礼不会保留骨灰,而是建立一个网上墓地,通过发布讣闻和悼念信息来纪念死者。
  从上面的例句中可看到,online funeral即“网上葬礼”。现代人的生活节奏越来越快,再加上资源稀缺,连葬礼都推出了一切从简的网上版本。Funeral除了可以表示“葬礼”外,还可以表示“(事物)的终止”,在口语中还有“麻烦事,倒霉事”的意思。请看例子:plan the funeral of the opposition 3 party(计划取缔反对党);If you get lost in the desert, that’s your funeral。(如果你在沙漠中迷路,那你可要倒霉了。)
  如果实行了网上葬礼,那么就不再需要cremation 4 urn(骨灰盒),mourning ceremony(哀悼仪式)也可以从简,取而代之的是online tribute(网上悼念)。现在的埋葬方式主要有三种,inhumation(土葬)、cremation(火葬)和 sea-burial(海葬)。比较特别的方式有boat-coffin burial(船棺葬)、tree burial(树葬)和celestial burial(天葬),一般多见于少数民族地区。
