其實不是特別想說王寶強(qiáng)離婚。但有不少聽眾問美國人的離婚也會變成全民大戲嗎?反過來想想，探討中美文化和思想，也是我們節(jié)目的特色。不過，感情、婚姻只有當(dāng)事人清楚。所以我們今天就把焦點放在相關(guān)的英語上吧!也能學(xué)到不少!

美國人的分手和離婚

美國人最關(guān)心的明星離婚: Johnny Depp

美國近來也有一對明星離婚鬧得沸沸揚揚。就是大明星，《加勒比海盜》系列男主Johnny Depp和小自己十幾歲的明星嫩妻Amber Heard。女方控訴男方家暴，男方也控訴女方各種不是。

摩登家庭: Uncouple, Coparent

不是所有分手、離婚都鬧得雞飛狗跳，奧斯卡影后Gwenyth Paltrow和Cold Play主唱Chris Martin的離婚就被視為典范。兩人的聲明還造就了英語金句。

Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin issued a joint statement that stated, "We consciouslyuncouple, but we coparent": Gwenyth Paltrow和Chris Martin分開時發(fā)的聯(lián)合聲明其中說到”我們深思熟慮后選擇分開，但還要一起做父母養(yǎng)育孩子”

Many people laughed at their choice of words, but it's a good attitude: 雖然很多人覺得他們的用詞太矯情，但是態(tài)度卻值得稱贊

有couple, 還有uncouple

uncouple, decouple (動詞): 分開，不再是一對

to parent (動詞): 撫養(yǎng)孩子、盡父母的責(zé)任

parent is both a noun and a verb: parent既是名詞也是動詞

To coparent is to work to raise your children together despite being divorced: coparent就是即使離婚了、分開了，還是要一起做父母

是啊，分手、離婚，冷暖自知。孩子始終是第一位的。
