　　对三对在结婚吉日1月4日宣誓“至死不渝”但几天后离婚收场的夫妻来说，永远并没有多远。

　　They were among some 7,300 couples who drew marriage certificates at civil affairs bureaus across the city that day, which witnessed a marriage boom for its auspicious meaning. The date sounds like "forever love&apos&apos in spoken Chinese.

　　这对年轻夫妇拒绝了徐汇婚姻登记中心的工作人员试图劝阻他们离婚的咨询。

　　But they said they had made up their minds without further explanation.

　　“如今，离婚是这样一件容易的事情，而几年前程序对配偶双方都是复杂的，工作单位可能牵扯进来，”婚姻顾问李棱说。

　　Lin Kewu, deputy director of Shanghai Civil Affairs&apos marriage administration office, said the number of flash marriage and flash divorces among young couples is on the rise as their love does not have a strong foundation and they don&apost take their marriage vows very seriously.

　　上海市民政事务行政办公室副主任林克武说年轻情侣中闪婚闪离的数量正在上升，因为他们的爱没有一个坚实的基础，他们没有严肃对待婚姻誓言。

　　"Many young couples do not know tolerance and their parents intervene, making things worse," he said.

　　“许多年轻夫妇不知道宽容，他们父母的干预使事情变得更糟，”他说。

　　Leng said those born after 1980 were pampered by their parents as China&aposs one-child policy took fect, and they tend to be more self-centered and less tolerant in a marriage than those born earlier.

　　李棱说由于中国的独生子女政策生效那些被父母纵容的80后他们在婚姻中比那些更早出生的人往往更自私且缺少宽容。

　　"When disputes erupt, neither the husband nor the wife is willing to compromise because they grew up in a similar environment of a one-child family,” she said. "So quarrels escalate into divorces, sometimes with parents&apos intervention."

　　“当争端爆发，无论是丈夫和妻子都不愿意妥协，因为他们成长在独生子女家庭这样一个类似的环境中，”她说，“所以争吵升级为离婚，有时有父母的干预。”

　　Couples also sometimes divorce to purchase one more apartment under housing purchase restrictions and they remarry later, Lin said.

　　在购房限制下夫妻有时也会为再购买一套公寓而离婚，之后他们复婚，林说。
