Français avec Cathy

Emma: So, Mark, I detect an American accent. Are you from the States?

Mark: Yes, that's right. Have you ever been there?

Emma: No, but I've always wanted to go. Whereabouts do you come from in the States?

Mark: Well, I was born and brought up in San Diego. How about you? Did you grow up in London?

Emma: No, actually, I come from Brighton originally.

Mark: What exactly are you doing in London?

Emma: Iwork as an assistant for a television studio. It's pretty cool because I get to meet a lot of interesting people. I also get on really well with my colleagues, and I've made a lot of friends.

Mark: Sounds interesting. How long are you here for?

Emma: I'm here until the summer. Then I intend to go backpacking around Europe.

Mark: Great.

Emma: How about you? What line of work are you in?

Mark: Actually, I'm a student. I'm doing a Master's degree in architecture. I hope to work for an architectural firm in London when I graduate.

Emma: Oh, that's interesting. I imagine you must be a very creative person.
Mark: Well, I try to be.

Emma: How long have you been studying in London?
Mark: About a year, though it seems much longer.

Emma: How do you like the city?

Mark: I love it. There's such a variety of things to see and do. I'm not too keen on the weather, though.

Emma: Yes, it's been a pretty wet summer this year. Even by London standards. What's the weather like in San Diego at this time of year?

Mark: Oh, it's pretty sunny right now. So, what do you like doing in your spare time?

Emma: Well, recently, I've taken up yoga, so I've been spending quite a bit of time practicing it. Apart from that, I enjoy reading, going out and visiting museums and occasionally going to concerts.

Mark: Oh, really? What kind of music are you into?

Emma: Mainly rock. Though I listen to jazz and classical sometimes.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【相亲】的话题。
在中国，读书的时候父母会反对我们早恋，所以学生时代没有谈恋爱的人很多。等到我们毕业工作，父母就开始催婚。但是因为交际圈很窄，脱单很困难，所以很多人在找对象的时候，可能会选择相亲这种方式。通过相亲可以了解对方的职业，家庭情况等，判断自己是否与对方合适。
最常见的相亲是亲戚朋友介绍，或者同事介绍。见面前先看下照片，了解下对方的情况。如果感兴趣就加个微信聊一聊，然后再见面。也有的是媒人安排大家一起吃个饭，先见个面互相了解一下。这种情况下在场的人很多，相亲的两个人比较不尴尬。
相亲的时候都看什么呢？在中国，谈婚论嫁的时候最讲究的是门当户对。也就是说：男女双方家庭的社会地位和经济状况相当，结婚很合适。因为讲究门当户对，在相亲市场上也就出现了很多歧视。
第一、地域歧视。本地人比非本地人好，因为本地人有相同背景、观念和生活习惯，更重要的是有户口，有房子。
第二、职业歧视。公务员稳定，即使收入不如私企，在相亲市场仍然是香饽饽。
第三、家庭歧视。是不是城市户口？父母有没有退休金？
第四、学历歧视。本科生不如硕士、硕士不如博士。不过有意思的是，女博士反而不吃香，大家会觉得太优秀了不容易找对象。
还有其他的年龄歧视、外貌歧视等等。
有的人觉得门当户对是好事，条件差不多的人才能一起生活。有的人觉得门当户对是把婚姻市场化了，变成了买卖，没有真情实感。你觉得呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
