圆房 Explanation: 圆房 Consummate--- to complete (a marriage) with the first act of sexual intercourse after the ceremony. American Heritage Dictionary -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2004-03-26 01:00:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- B. The Consummation of Marriage: Solomon beautifully described his bride on their wedding night and then the two of them consummated their marriage with God\'s blessing 4:1--5:1 http://www.bible.org/docs/ot/books/son/sng-otl.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 36 mins (2004-03-26 02:28:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 圆房即新婚首夜, 不清楚上下文，也可能是先斩后奏，也可以翻译成 ‘首次性生活’，‘首次同房’。 高级汉语词典： 圆房 [consummate marriage] 旧指为童养媳与其未婚夫完婚;也指开始同房过夫妻生活 允许他进来,一年后再圆房儿。——《红楼梦》 |

peer agreement (net): +1别用“圆房” Explanation: 我觉得你可以用“初试云雨”、“初享鱼水之欢”、“第一次达成爱情的完满结合”， whatsoever 。但“圆房”一词最好别用。 因为“圆房”这个词太“中国”，太封建。这个词准确含义是指“童养媳”，很小就“过门”，长大才“圆房”。有夫妻名分的男女，已经生活在一起，但到一定的时间才被允许有性生活。标准的说法是“给他们圆房”。所以，这个词多少意味着婚姻不自由、性生活不自由，它包含的文化内涵太陈旧、太沉重。在中国传统文化中，“房”这个词包含的文化沉积就够写一本书的。 把两个“洋人”激情浪漫的第一夜叫做“圆房”？他们俩知道了可能会说，别逗了！干嘛非得在房里？在郊外不行吗？ :)) |
