每日一詞 | Homewrecker :我原諒了插足父母婚姻的第三者
如果你的父親為了一個比自己小三十歲的女人離開了你的母親,你會怎麼辦?像大多數人一樣,小說作家米拉·李(Mira T. Lee)選擇站在了自己母親一邊。
但人心是流動的。在時報摩登情愛欄目的《從'家庭破壞者'到家庭守護者》(From ' Homewrecker ' to Caretaker)一文中,她講述了自己對這位“繼母”看法的轉變。多年相處中,她感受到了二人的琴瑟和鳴,那人的人格與魅力的確與父親更相配;更令她觸動的是,在父親生活無法自理時,那個“第三者”仍然不離不棄。
根據韋氏詞典,homewrecker的意思是“與已婚人士有染、導致其婚姻破裂的人”,該詞由home(家庭)和wrecker(破壞、毀壞)兩部分組成,通常被稱為“第三者”。此外,英語中mistress(情婦)和the other woman(小三)也有類似的意思,但僅用來指女性。
