美国流行文化从A到Z——May-December romance
<p>说来有点惭愧，从2003年5月第一次接触到<span word="May">May</span>-<span word="Decemberromance">Decemberromance</span>这个短语起，我有近一年的时间都误解了它的意思。记得当时是在一本娱乐杂志上看到消息，说<span word="Demi">Demi</span> <span word="Moore">Moore</span>和<span word="Ashton">Ashton</span></p><p><span word="Kutcher">Kutcher</span>已经正式确立恋爱关系，开始在公共场合出双人对。接着文章作者便提到很多人都不看好这段<span word="May">May</span>-<span word="December">December</span> <span word="romance">romance</span>。由于当时正好是五月，我很自然地把这个概念理解成“五月到</p><p>十二月的恋情”，心里还想：这些人好毒啊，不看好也不用认定他们捱不过今年吧。</p><p>之后几个月又陆续看到了不少关于他们的报道，几乎每篇都会提到<span word="May">May</span>-<span word="December">December</span> <span word="romance">romance</span>.我以为媒体一如既往不看好他们的，恋情，就没去多想，直到2004年春天，又看到关于他们的一份报道，</p><p>里面说我才意识到理解有问题，一查资料，果然如此。</p><p><span word="May">May</span>-<span word="December">December</span> <span word="romance">romance</span>的真正含义是“忘年恋”即一方比另一方年长很多的恋情，这里 <span word="Ryan">Ryan</span> <span word="Chost">Chost</span> (《人鬼情未了》，<span word="Patrick">Patrick</span> <span word="Swayze">Swayze</span>& <span word="Demi">Demi</span> <span word="Moore">Moore</span>) <span word="Pretty">Pretty</span> <span word="Woman">Woman</span>(《风月俏佳人》，<span word="Richard">Richard</span> <span word="Cere">Cere</span>&<span word="Julia">Julia</span> <span word="Roberts">Roberts</span>)<span word="Basic">Basic</span> <span word="Irutinct">Irutinct</span>(《本能》，<span word="Michael">Michael</span> <span word="Douglas">Douglas</span>& <span word="Sharon">Sharon</span> <span word="Stone">Stone</span>) <span word="The">The</span> <span word="Bridges">Bridges</span> <span word="ofMadson">ofMadson</span> <span word="County">County</span>(《廊桥遗梦》，<span word="Clint">Clint</span> <span word="Eastwood">Eastwood</span>& <span word="Meryl">Meryl</span> <span word="Streep">Streep</span>)<span word="As">As</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="It">It</span> <span word="Gets">Gets</span>爱在心头口难开，<span word="Jack">Jack</span> <span word="Nicholson">Nicholson</span>&<span word="Helen">Helen</span> <span word="Hunt">Hunt</span>)这8个例子里，只有<span word="Cher">Cher</span>和<span word="Nicolas">Nicolas</span> <span word="Cage">Cage</span>的组合是女老男少，可见人们对姐弟恋的接受程度始终还是低一些。</p>
