如果你资助了一个女孩8年，最后她却嫁给大自己13岁的男人，成为全职家庭主妇，你能接受吗？
资助8年
从小镇走出来的女士，深知在自己的家乡，每到初三这个阶段，都有大批女孩儿因为经济条件而失学。
The lady who came out of a small town knows that in her hometown, at the stage of the third grade of junior high school, a large number of girls are out of school because of economic conditions.
junior /ˈdʒuːniə/ adj.初级的
economic /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk/ adj.经济的
于是，她决定资助一个学习成绩还不错的女孩儿，为了减轻被资助人的心理负担，她们之间几乎没有太多交流。
So, she decided to sponsor a girl with good academic performance. In order to reduce the psychological burden of the sponsored girl, there was hardly much communication between them.
sponsor /ˈspɒnsə/ v.资助
burden /ˈbɜːdn/ n.负担
在工作初期，资助人甚至需要拿出一半的工资出来，但她依然咬牙坚持，节衣缩食，为的就是想要和被资助的孩子一起努力。
At the beginning, the sponsor even needed to pay half of her salary, but she still gritted her teeth and cut back on food and clothing in order to work hard with the sponsored girl.
grit/ɡrɪt/ v.咬紧
cut back 节省
一毕业就嫁人
随着女孩毕业，资助人随口问了一句：“你工作怎么样？”得到的回答却是：“我没有找工作，在准备结婚的事。”
As the girl graduated, the sponsor casually asked, "How is your work?" The answer is: "I'm not looking for a job, I'm preparing to get married."
casually /ˈkæʒʊəli/ adv.漫不经心地
资助人了解到女孩嫁给了一位大自己13岁，实现财富自由的男人，朋友圈里晒的也都是奢侈品。
The sponsor learned that the girl married a man who was 13 years older than herself and realized wealth freedom, and her WeChat moments was also full of luxuries.
WeChat moments 朋友圈
luxury /ˈlʌkʃəri/ n.奢侈品
如今男方希望尽快有孩子，于是她便将生孩子作为当前最重要的事。
Now the man wants to have children as soon as possible, so she takes having children as the most significant thing at present.
significant /sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt/ adj.至关重要的
全网吵翻
对于这件事网友们有着截然相反的看法和态度。
Netizens have diametrically opposite views and attitudes towards this matter.

有的人认为资助人只需要做好自己就行了，不应该对女孩的选择有想法。
Some people think that sponsor only need to pay attention to what she did and should not have ideas about the girl's choices.
有的网友认为女孩的选择是没有错的，不应该歧视家庭主妇这个职位，她实现了自己的人生目标。
Some netizens think that the girl's choice is not wrong, and we should not discriminate against the position of housewife. She has achieved her life goal.

但更多网友却犀利发问：如果你知道你要资助的女孩，毕业就嫁人，你还会给钱吗？
However, more netizens sharply asked: If you know that the girl you want to support will marry after graduation, will you still give money?

还有一位网友的评论也非常发人深省：我本可以选择一个成为医生、成为老师、成为飞行员的失学女孩去资助。
Another netizen's comment is also thought-provoking: I could have chosen an out-of-school girl who could become a doctor, a teacher or a pilot to sponsor.
thought-provoking 发人深省的
out-of-school 失学的

然而，爱心却成为了她的踏板。如果上大学只是为了嫁得更好，那么她就不是选择成为了家庭主妇，而是在摧毁其他失学女孩上学的路！
However, love has become her pedal. If she goes to college just to get married better, then she doesn't choose to be a housewife, but she is ruining the way for other out-of-school girls to go to school!
