雖說婚姻是愛情的墳墓
但大多數愛情難免都要走進婚姻
即便有些時候有些人是“被迫”走進婚姻
比如"奉子成婚"
不過大家知道"奉子成婚"英文怎麼說嘛？
可別翻譯成marry with a child喲…
"奉子成婚"怎麼說？
中文說的"奉子成婚"是"未婚先孕"
(寶寶還在肚子裡…)
英語裡有個專用短語
shotgun marriage/wedding
shotgun本意思"獵槍"
這裡表示"強迫"的意思
(因為有孩子被迫提前結婚…)
例句：
They are going to have shotgun marriage next week.
他們下週要結婚了，是奉子成婚。
PS：

married with a child
則是說已婚並有一個孩子
