1.Refer to Paragraph 1.By denying the existence of the conventional people as?depicted in Bertrand Russell's quotation who like to pretend that difficulties in?regard to marriage are a new thing,the author intends to show that everyone?in this world agrees that marriage is difficult,from as early as the beginning of?human society to the present day.
2.Refer to Paragraph 2.According to the songs sung in music-halls,marriage?was like a hell where the married couple were constantly troubled by the wife's?twin sister and mother.
3.Refer to Paragraphs 2-8.The humour in comic papers,songs in music-halls;校and plays and novels are all examples to illustrate that horrible situation of?marriage.Then quotations of reputed philosophers,writers,scientists and?essayists are used to prove that even the wise painted marriage in the darkest?colours.
4.Refer to Paragraphs 5-7.By "unconventional people,"the author refers to?philosophers,writers and scientists,who have knowledge,talents and wisdom.
What they thought of marriage could be derived from the essence of human?experience.
5.Refer to Paragraph 8.Since social reformers are keen to maintain the?positive development of society,of which marriage and family are the most?important building stones,they try to convince people to pursue happiness in?marriage by recommending changes in their lives;while thinkers and seekers of?beauty are more realistic about the chances of achieving what one desires,and they explore the essence of life through meditating over its miseries and?difficulties.
6.Refer to Paragraph 9.The ostrich,when pursued,hides his head in the sand?and believes himself to be unseen.The logic in the ostrich's practice is that one?can avoid danger or difficulty by refusing to face it.The author hopes that?someday a naturalist will find out the ostrich's logic is valid,so that people can?follow this practice by ignoring the difficulties in marriage,or pretending that?they never exist.The metaphor is used to propose that,to a difficulty-conscious?generation who are too much burdened with the thought of difficulty it may be?advisable to pretend its non-existence.Otherwise,they will never enjoy the rosy?side of marriage.If marriage is really both Heaven and Hell,one will never be in?Heaven because of his fear of Hell.
