每日一句口语 182（在线收听）

今天我们要学的每日一句的内容是：

Chinese media recently reported that the divorce rates

in cities such as Beijing and Nanjing increased quickly

following the conclusion of the latest round of the

national college entrance examinations. Many couples,

they said, believe they had fulfilled their parental

responsibilities by raising their children to the age

when they would take the tests - usually 18 - thus making

it an appropriate time to end their marriages.

国内媒体近日报道称，随着今年的高考落下帷幕，北京、南京

等地的离婚率激增。许多夫妇表示，把孩子抚养到高考年龄（通常是18岁），他们已经尽到为人父母的责任了，因此这个时候是结束婚姻的合适时机。
