2019考博英语英汉互译练习：空壳婚姻
现在人们不知道空壳婚姻的数量— 可能与美满婚姻一样多。空壳婚姻的家庭气氛没有多少乐趣或欢笑声。成员间对各自的麻烦事或经历闭口不谈。交流保持在最低限度。在这样的家庭中，孩子通常都渴望爱。他们不愿让朋友到家里来，因为要是让朋友看到他们的父母吵架，他们会感到难堪。
The number of empty-shell is unknown—it may be as high as the number of happily married couples. The atmosphere in empty-shell marriages is without much fun or laugher. Members do not share and discuss their problems or experiences with each other. Communication is kept to minimum. Children in such families are usually starved for love and reluctant to have friends over as they are embarrassed about having their friends see their parents quarreling.
