文化背景：

　　In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough mead for a month, ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get honeymoon or, as the French say, lune de miel ("moon of honey").

　　在欧洲传统习俗中，新婚夫妇婚后的三十天内，或直到月缺时，每天都要喝由蜂蜜发酵制成的饮料，以增进生活的和谐。古时候，蜂蜜是生命、健康、和生育能力的象征。“蜜月”是新婚夫妇在恢复日常生活前，单独相处的甜蜜时光。
