问题   In the past, a university could expel regular students if they got married during their studies. This ban has compelled students who were contemplating marriage or got pregnant to make painful choices--to give up study or delay marriage or have an abortion.

答案 Nowadays, college students’ marriage has attracted lots of attention in our society.Reports pertaining to this matter appear now and then in newspapers in which various opinions are put forward. According to a survey, 65% of people maintain that college students shouldn’t get married on campus;I take the same view. There are mainly three reasons: First of all, we college students haven’t come into close contact with society and are still green in nearly all the fields of life.Besides, our attitudes and values are still in the process of formation, and may undergo great changes after graduation. The person we love on campus is not necessarily the one we want to marry when we are fully mature.As a matter of fact, marriage means responsibility more than love.The blind pursuit of love at college may mislead us to find a person who is not really fit for us and eventually lead to some tragedy.Here is an example: a senior of Nanjing University divorced her husband only after a year’s marriage life because the two of them have different world outlooks and lack efficient communication. Secondly, time on campus is precious and essential for students to pursue studies. We should make full use of it to acquire knowledge and enhance abilities.Chances are that marriage and family take up so much time that our study is seriously affected.When entering society, student couples may find it hard to make a successful career because 22% of companies are unwilling to employ graduates who have already got married. This poses a great threat to them and some couples are forced to leave each other because they can’t find suitable jobs in the same city. Thirdly, although ’universities have canceled the ban on students’ marriage, they don’t encourage students to tie the knot. Colleges will never offer apartments to student couples, And it is inconvenient and unsafe to rent apartments outside the campus.In addition, college students aren’t independent financially, yet a lot of money is needed in family life. The financial burden may result in the break-up of the marriage.Therefore, without emotional and financial maturity, the chances of a successful marriage remain pretty slim. To sum up, college students are granted the right to get married, but we must handle the right with great care.The proverb "more haste, less speed" is also true of marriage.Only when we are mature, having the abilities to support a family, can we reap the sweet fruit of successful marriage.

解析    pertain to是用词亮点,意为“关于……”,较正式;这里用现在分词形式,作Reports的后置定语。
   由and连接的并列长句。green意为“未成熟的,无经验的”,如a green hand“生平”;green还可以表示“妒忌”,如to be green with envy,green-eyed等。
   undergo是用词亮点,意为“经历,遭受”。
   As a matter of fact为插入语,意为“事实上”,同义短语有in fact, as the case stands, actually等。
   本句主干为The blind pursuit of love… may mislead… and eventually lead to…。who引导定语从句修饰person。mislead sb.to do sth.意为“误导某人做某事”;be fit for意为“适合于”。
   Here is an example是表示举例的典型句型,与此类似的句型有:Let me give an example,或We may take/cite/quote a simple example to illustrate this等等。world outlook在这里指“世界观”。
   Chances arg that是固定用法,也是语言亮点,意为“有可能”。
   典型的主从复合长句,其主子为student couples may find it hard…,because引出原因状语从句,而镶入其中的who引导定语从句,修饰graduates。
   de the knot是用词亮点,意为“结婚”。
   用In addition进行进一步阐述,过渡、衔接自然。
   the chances… remain pretty slim意为“机会渺茫”,类似的表达还有slender/small/ poor chances等都表示机会渺茫,而“胜算很大”则可以说fine/good/excellent chances。
   more haste,less speed是谚语,意为“欲速则不达”,名言谚语的使用常能为文章增色不少,平时要注意这方面的积累。be true of意为“对……也适用”。
   本句为倒装句,即当only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句放在句首时,后面的主句要部分倒装,即助动词提前,如本句中 can提前放到主语前面。
