But since she is a foreigner, my parents still have some concerns.Nowadays, people often harbor reservations about a mixed marriage because racial and cultural differences may complicate the marriage life. However, still many people have harmonious and happy marriages across nations. How about you guys? Would you mind marrying a person from a different culture or nation?B: 嗯, 考虑到文化冲突，其实我不太接受多文化婚姻。首先,我认为对我来说,很难爱上不同的文化背景的人。俗话说物以类聚人以群分。来自不同文化的人可能会在观点,行为上有冲突。我们怎么去处理异族婚姻带来的文化差异呢？B: Hmm, due to the cultural crush, actually I dont prefer a mixed marriage. First of all, I think for me, its difficult to fall in love with someone from a different culture. Theres a saying that birds with the same feather, block together. People from different culture might have many conflicts in their values, opinions, behaviors. How to deal with the cultural difference in mixed marriage？ C: 我觉得相互理解对于婚姻是非常重要的。只要夫妻双方相互理解，那么文化冲突其实也就不是一个大问题。相反, 我认为这是一件好事。知道不同的人对同一件事的看法是非常有趣的事。这种小冲突也可以激发你接受新的事物或观点。一旦你可以尽你最大的努力去理解和尊重对方,你可以在混合婚姻有更多乐趣。C： I think understanding each other is very important for a marriage. If there is mutual understanding between the couple, then I dont think the cultural crash is a big issue. On the contrary, I think its a good thing.

And once you can try your best to understand and respect each other, you can have much more fun in a mixed marriage.D: 是的，我同意c。有许多因素可能会导致一个失败的婚姻,如误解,冷漠,和其他失衡因素。但我认为最大的问题可能是不当的沟通。面对文化冲突，在忽视或批判你的爱人之前,首先,你可以与他/她进行积极沟通,让他/她知道你的疑惑和感受,并努力了解接受他/她的真实想法和感受。只要沟通恰当，我相信你们可以战胜文化冲突。因为首先你们相爱，而爱的基础是信任和理解。D: Yes I agree with C. There are many factors might lead to a failed marriage, such as misunderstanding, apathy, and other imbalances. But I think the biggest issue might be the improper communications. When cultural crush occurs, before ignore or judge your lover, first you can communicate with him/her in a proper way, to let him/her know your questions and feelings, and try to understand what he/she think and feel. I believe that you can work through the conflicts with harmonious communications, because first of all you love each other. And the foundation of love is trust and understanding.A：好吧, 我想我知道如何说服我的父母了。我相信我和女朋友会有一个非常和谐幸福的多文化婚姻生活。A: Ok, I think I know how to persuade my parents. And I believe my girlfriend and I will have a very harmonious and happy mixed marriage life.B&C&D: 提前恭喜了！B&C&D: Congratulations in advance!第八篇A：嗨，老兄，最近怎么样？有什么新鲜事么？我太无聊了。A: Hey buddy, anything special these days?

I knew 1 story totally unbelievabl
