N: if you can choose, will you marry a foreigner or a Chinese?
S: why? Did tom pop the question?
N: not yet. But I wonder if I can get my parents’ consent.
S: let me guess, your parents want you to marry a Chinese man, right?
N: you are right. It is giving me a real headache. I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place.
S: I used to have the same problem when I was with my ex.
N: oh, how did you deal with it?
S: I just let it go and continued dating with my Korean boyfriend. But finally we broke up.
N: oh, it’s a pity. What was the matter?
S: simple. We had personality clashes and there were too many cultural differences.
N: like what?
S: he hoped to live in the Korean way and asked me to give up working and stay at home to take care of the family.
N: Oh, I see. In their culture women should put family first.
S: yes, he said it would be batter for me and for the whole family. But I simply can not quit working.
N: so that's why it’s hard to have a happy marriage with a foreigner.
S: not really. There are many successful mixed marriage around us.
如果讓你選的話，你是愿意嫁給一個(gè)中國(guó)人還是一個(gè)外國(guó)人？
為什么這么問，湯姆向你求婚了嗎？
沒有，我怕父母不同意。

是啊，我正頭疼呢，我覺得左右為難。
我和以前的男朋友談戀愛時(shí)，也遇到了同樣的問題。
那你怎么解決的？
我就順其自然，繼續(xù)和我的韓國(guó)男朋友約會(huì)，但是后來我們還是分手了。
太可惜了，為什么?。?br />
很簡(jiǎn)單，我們性格不合，雙方文化也有很多不同之處。
比如呢？
他希望我過韓式的生活，要求我放棄工作，安心待在家里。
這樣啊，在他們的文化里，女性應(yīng)該以家庭為重。
是啊，他說這樣對(duì)我，對(duì)整個(gè)家庭都好。但是我就是不想辭掉工作。
所以和外國(guó)人結(jié)婚，很難幸福。
也不一定，我們周圍不也有很多成功的例子嘛。
