35、arriage in Ancient (总题数：1，分数：10.00)填空项 1:_ （正确答案：integral）解析：听力原文1-10Good afternoon, everybody. In ancient times Egypt was a flourishing kingdom and one of the earliest known civilizations, producing magnificent structures and delicate works of art. Today we will discuss one aspect of its social lif
36、e. That is the marriage in ancient Egypt.The ancient Egyptians held marriage as a sacred bond. The family was broken down into roles that each would play in order for things to run smoothly. The father was the one who would work all day. In smaller households the mother was in charge of all things p
37、ertaining to the house. Cooking, cleaning and watching the children were all her responsibilities. Egyptians seem to have taken mates in what most often appears to be lifelong monogamous relationships. Marriage and a close family played an integral role in ancient Egypt.A bride would be young, about
38、 14 or 15 years old. Her husband could be anywhere from 17 to 20 - or older if he was divorced or a widower. The ancient Egyptians were encouraged to marry young, considering that the life span at this time was relatively short.Interestingly, one of the most affectionate titles you could call your l
39、ove was “brother“ or “sister“ in ancient Egypt. This had nothing to do with sibling relations, but led many archaeologists and scholars to wrongly assume that most ancient Egyptians married their siblings. Actually, this usually occurred only among royalty - and was not a common occurrence.First let
40、s talk about the wedding day.The day of the marriage was really quite simple. The bride merely moved her belongings into the home of her husband. He might be living alone or with his parents.So what did the bride wear? She probably wore a long dress or tunic made of linen, which may have been covere
41、d from head to toe with bead-net. If she owned any gold, silver or lapis, she probably adorned herself with those, too.Even though there was no official ceremony, knowing how much the ancient Egyptians loved music, dance and food, there were bound to be family celebrations in honor of the uniting co
42、uple.Museums are filled with statues and paintings showing husbands and wives with their arms around each others waists, holding hands or offering each other flowers or food. Love and affection was indeed a part of the Egyptian marriage, and our Egyptian bride could expect to be loved and respected
43、by her husband.Entering into a marriage was described as “making a wife“ or “taking a wife“, but it seems that the girls father had the main say. If the girl had no father, an uncle would step in. In the absence of any preexisting agreement it seems that the girls consent to a marriage was unimporta
44、nt until the 26th dynasty, when brides also began to have a say.Then lets talk about the marriage contract.Most marriages had a contract drawn up between the parties. The poorer classes probably did not do this because they probably had few possessions to consider and also the cost of a scribe would
45、 have been costly. Marriage settlements were drawn up between a womans father and her prospective husband, although many times the woman herself was part of the contract. The sole purpose of the contract was to establish the rights of both par ties to maintenance and possessions during the marriage
46、and after divorce if it should occur.A standard marriage contract that had been found among the numerous records left by the ancient Egyptians. It contained:The date(the year of the reign of the ruling monarch)The contractors(future husband and wife)The names of both sets parentsHusbands profession
47、(wifes rarely mentioned)The scribe who drew up the contractThe names of the witnessesThe finished document was given to a third party for safekeeping or kept among the records of the local temple.A man could marry as soon as he was physically mature and had reached a point in his chosen career that ensured his ability to provide for his wife and for the children they could expect. Most Egyptians were content to have o
