跟着BBC学关于"离婚"的一些地道英语表达

2016年09月22日 最英国



“史密斯夫妻”档相恋11年后以离婚告终,姿势菌跟他们不熟,没什么八卦可聊,还是一起来学习下关于“离婚”的英语吧。


以下是BBC的报道:


Actor Brad Pitt has said he is "very saddened" that his wife Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce and has asked for privacy on their children's behalf.


file for divorce:提交离婚申请

on sb’s behalf:以某人的名义


"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids," he told People magazine.


"I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."


give sb some space:给某人一些空间


Jolie, 41, filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, citing irreconcilable differences on Monday.


irreconcilable differences:不可调和的矛盾


Her lawyer, Robert Offer, said the decision had been made "for the health of the family".


It is understood Jolie is seeking physical custody of the couple's six children and asking the judge to give Pitt visitation rights.


physical custody:监护权

visitation rights:探视权


Speculation is mounting over the causes behind the split, with one newspaper claiming Jolie was "upset with Pitt's parenting skills".


split:离婚、分手

parenting skills:教育孩子的技巧


Ms Jolie's long-time manager Geyser Kosinski told E! Online: "Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family."


Madame Tussauds in London marked the split by announcing on Twitter that its mannequins of the pair have been separated. Twlight actor Robert Pattinson appears to have been placed between them.


Pitt and Jolie - nicknamed "Brangelina" by fans - married in 2014, 10 years after meeting on the set of 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith.


It was Pitt's second marriage, having previously wed Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and Jolie's third after actors Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller.


wed sb:与某人结婚,名词形式是wedding。


相同意思的说法还有:

A married B.

A is married to B.

A got married to B.


"get married with sb"的说法是错误的,但是据说美国人会这么说。


……


Pitt and Jolie most recently worked together on 2015 film By the Sea, a relationship drama about a couple trying to repair their marriage.


repair one’s marriage:挽救某人的婚姻
