“六月新娘”背后有什么巨大阴谋？

片中的这对好朋友Emma和Liv都争相成为“六月新娘”，因为在西方文化中，素来就有“六月新娘”最幸福的说法。然而事实真的是这样的吗？

原来六月（June）出于朱诺神（Juno）也就是希腊神话中的宙斯的尊号，他是古罗马人的婚姻神，人们认为在六月结婚自然能够受到神祝福。而另一方面的原因就比较残酷，在当时以农业为基础的社会，六月结婚的妇女倘若顺利怀孕，到了收割季节也不会挺个太大的肚子，可以帮忙农活；而孩子生下来之后，女性则又恢复到正常体态，正好又成为下一轮的收割劳动力！

听上去是不是觉得特阴暗？当然现代女性挺着大肚子进出办公楼的也多得是，所以要在几月结婚一切随你啦！

The Romans favored June weddings because that was the month dedicated to the observance of Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. There was a practical side to June weddings as well, and practicality also shows up quite a bit in rituals and traditions. A marriage in June could result in a conception early enough so that a wife wouldn't be too full with child to not be able to help out during the harvest. A June wedding also meant that the baby would be born soon enough so that the recovered bride would be in shape for the next harvest pending no unexpected second bundle.
