隨著時代改變，越來越多美國人不再把離婚看作可恥的事，而是舉辦離婚派對，慶祝展開新的人生。這種離婚派對的英文表達(dá)是divorce party或break-up party。

A new trend is catching on among recent divorcees, as these individuals are holding break-up parties to celebrate the end of their marriage.

新近離婚的美國人流行辦“離婚派對”，用這種方式來慶?；橐鼋Y(jié)束。

While some people may find this practice odd, many recent divorcees note that the celebration serves as a way to acknowledge the past but move on to the new life that will await post-divorce.

有些人也許會覺得這一做法很各色，但許多現(xiàn)在的離婚者認(rèn)為這種慶祝方式既是承認(rèn)過去，同時也標(biāo)志著就此展開新生活。

Divorce party is similar to wedding party in some way, with guests indulging in extravagant eating and drinking. However, on a wedding the father hands his daughter off to the groom, but on a divorce party the father take his daughter back from the son-in-law. Some divorcing couples also returned the wedding gifts on the divorce party.

在某些方面，離婚派對跟結(jié)婚派對差不多，來賓也大吃大喝。不同的是，在婚禮上，父親拉著女兒的手，將女兒交給新郎。在離婚派對上，父親從女婿手中，把女兒接回去。有些離婚夫妻還把結(jié)婚時收到的禮物，還給贈送禮物的人。
