(一)
We generally view the family as being one of our most stable institutions; yet, our family system has undergone a number of changes in the past. Two hundred years ago, marriages were often arranged by parents, with economic considerations being the most important determinant of who married whom. Two hundred years ago, divorce was rare; now, more than one out of three marriages end in divorce. Two hundred years ago, women did not work out of the home, and children were an economic asset; now nearly 50 percent of married women work outside the home, and children are a financial liability.
In our fast-paced society, the family is now changing even more rapidly than it did in the past.
In viewing the future of the American family, some authorities foresee the family as racing toward extinction. They say that the family is dead except for the first year or two of child raising, and this will be its only function.
Family optimists, on the other hand, predict the family is entering a Golden Age—an era where the members will have more leisure time to spend with each other and will derive considerable enjoyment from family-type activities. Most sociologists, however, do not agree with either the pessimists or the optimists; instead, they argue that the family is experimenting with a number of novel types and forms, many of which will probably be discarded, but some are likely to be found satisfying and functional and gradually becoming “typical”. 展开

我们通常认为家庭是我们最稳固的一个体系,然而,我们的家庭系统在过去却经历了很多的变化。两百年前,婚姻经常由父母出于经济情况的考虑而安排,经济情况是一个重要的决定谁将与谁结婚的重要决定因素。两百年前,离婚率非常的罕见;现在,三个婚姻中就有超过一个结束于离婚。两百年前,女性并不在家庭之外工作,而且孩子被视为是一种经济财产,然而现在,超过一般的结婚女性在外工作,孩子则被视为一种财务上的义务。(译者的理解:以往孩子可以算作是一种投资,类似于中国古代的:“养儿防老”而现在培养一个孩子的花费过大,所以则似为一种责任)在我们节奏非常快的社会里,家庭的变化比以往更快。从美国家庭的将来来看,一些权威专家看到了家庭成为一种即将灭亡的种族。他们说,家庭会消亡,除了第一年或者是由两个孩子需要养。(译者理解:结婚第一年一般不会离婚;如果有了两个小孩也不会离婚...有点费解哦)
从另一个角度讲,家庭乐观主义者预测家庭会进入一个黄金时代——一个我们拥有大量空闲时间,可以和彼此相依的时代,而且这个时代将从家庭型的活动中获取大量的享受。但是,大多数的社会学家既不同意悲观者的看法,也不同意乐观者的看法,相反,他们争论到家庭正在尝试一系列的新形势和新框架结构。这些新形势或形框架结构中的许多也许将会被抛弃,但是一些也可能会被公认为令人满意的并且逐渐成为“典型的”(形势或框架结构)

我们当做作为我们最稳定的机构之一通常看家庭; 然而, 我们的家庭系统已经遭遇在过去方面的一些改变。 二百年前,婚姻时常被父母安排了, 藉由作为最重要决定因素的经济的考量谁已婚的谁。 二百年前,离婚很稀有; 现在,超过三中的一婚姻在离婚结束。二百年前,女人不外出工作,而且孩子是一个经济的资产; 现在将近 50% 已婚的女人在家的外面工作,而且孩子是财务的责任。
在我们的快步调社会中,家庭现在正在过去比它更甚至比较快速变更。
在看美国家庭的未来方面,一些主管当局当做向消失赛跑预见家庭。 他们说家庭除了第一年或者升起的孩子中的二以外死,而且这将会是它的唯一的功能。
另一方面,家庭乐观主义者预测家庭正在进入一个黄金时期-一个时代哪里成员将会有较多的休闲时间和彼此花费而且将会源自来自家庭-类型的活动的相当多的享乐。 然而,大多数的社会学家不同意悲观主义者或乐观主义者;相反的,他们主张家庭正在以一些新奇的类型和表格,哪一个或许将会被丢弃的多数作实验,但是一些可能被发现满意而功能和逐渐合式的 " 典型的 ".
