翻译一篇英语文章
Before the Industrial Revolution scattered populations and steam and later petrol engines ensured easy mobility, there could have been few family reunions as we know this ceremony at the present time, with its assembling of infrequently-encountered but still familiar figures and the consequent getting up to date with the events in other people’s lives. There must have been indeed a good deal of “dropping-in”, for if members of a family did not actually live in the same house, they were within easy walking distance of one another. A man rarely went very far to look for a wife and the girl who married someone from else where almost certainly said a final goodbye to her parents when she was taken off to her husband’s home.
It was the Victorians who firmly established the family reunion. Present-day impressions of this important occasion are of a strange blending of formality, plain speaking with hovering dissension and a general lack of natural warmth. The rarer such meetings, it would seem, the more important it was to reflect prosperity and propriety. Firm attention was paid to suitable clothes and decorum while hostesses must demonstrate their ability to provide abundant meals in dignified surroundings. Children eyed little-known cousins with distrust and they, together with grown-up daughters, had to entertain the company with piano-playing or recitations while their own parents beamed complacently. There was the barbed exchange of news, gossip, gloomy prognostications about absent relatives, reminiscences of Uncle Albert and shared memories of childhood. The mask of formality gradually slipped and the natural individual, self-satisfied or envious, charitable or spiteful, assumed control.
