背景介绍：
钱钟书的《围城》里说婚姻是围城“城里的人想出来，城外的人想进去＂，你觉得这句对吗？

也有人说婚姻是爱情的坟墓，你怎么看？

“Marriage is the tomb of love.”

话题：

1. Do you agree that marriage is the tomb of love?

2. What comes to your mind when you think of marriage?
 

范例1：

A saying goes, “marriage is the tomb of love.” Being young, we can hardly get the meaning as the prince and the princess getting married, which average people are longing for, is always the ending of the fairy tales. Getting older, we might find out that there are some elements of truth in this saying.

We would insist marriage is the ultimate purpose when getting into a relationship. Marriage is a sincere commitment made by couples, taking both of them to a brand-new stage. The candlelit dinner is to be taken over by bread and butter. The everyday errands become the reduction of their passion. Bit by bit, the original intimate is fading and everything becomes a routine. I think that’s the grave of love.

Therefore, marriage is an milestone indicating a new journal to go. After walking down to the altar, couples need to try hard to conquer the challenges in front of them.

范例2：

Love, a sacred word about which makes men and women crazy and even obsessed, is one of the most important things in people’s spiritual life. In literature, when two people walk down the aisle, people would say that their love arrives at its destination and it’s a happy ending. But, some people argue that matrimony actually is the grave of love because the frictions of daily life can really kill the enthusiasm and emotion. Indeed, love is an attraction both sexually and emotionally, after the marriage, the sexual tension will gradually get loose. When love’s tides ebb, so many things which were covered by the water of blindness of love would emerge. Squabbles appear and the perfect images of each other begin to fade. Thus, the collapse of marriage seems inevitable, so, really love is so doomed that tying the knot means the decease of a sentiment which people chanted, praised and desired for thousands of years. No, getting married is the first step towards love. The tree of love needs a constant care and understanding to grow. Two people keep their vows to each other till death sets apart them, thus love does find its grave.

范例3：

Is marriage the tomb of love or has the seven-year itch become a fixed rule in marriage nowadays? My answer is of course not. At present, most marriages are based on the expectations of lasting love and equal partnership. There are also some unique styles of marriage existing in the society, such as traditional arranged marriage and “marry first, then love”. Here I would like put aside those special cases and just talk about marriages built upon sincere love. As far as I’m concerned, mutual love is an necessity to an ideal marriage and the marriage without love is totally suffering to a couple. Marriages derive from love, but will be more complicated and meaningful than pure love. A marriage means that the couple form a new family, and from now on they belong to each other completely and legally. Even though the marriage brings more responsibility to the young couple, the establishment of the marital relationship in law will benefit them and their children in the long run. Every kind of relationship in our life needs to be carefully managed, so does the marriage relationship. As time goes by, the initial love between the couple will be sublimated into a more unbreakable family affection, which will tightly bound them together as a whole. Personally, I get confused that why many young people are so sensitive to those divorce cases of celebrities in the entertainment industry. We have no need to change our attitude towards marriage just because those celebrities’ marriages failed. It should be kept in mind by both married people and singles that every marriage is the supreme symbol of love and it’s just for pure love rather than any profit. Don’t get frightened by the marriage, not to mention the so-called seven-year itch. As long as two sides try hard to run a business in the marriage of love, there can be sweet like honey.
