不合时宜的习俗 The Untimely Tradition

China is a great old country that has more than five thousand years' history. Its culture has influenced the world, such as the great educator Confucius. His thought is popular around the world. As the time went by, some old traditions have been kept all the time though they are not suitable in today’s situation.
中国是一个有着五千多年历史的伟大古国。它的文化对全世界都有着影响，比如伟大的教育家孔子，他的思想受到世界各地的欢迎。但随着时间的流逝，一些旧的传统虽然并不适合现在的社会但也一直保留着。
Holding wedding would be a great thing for the new couple, but sometimes the old traditions make the wedding an unhappy memory. For example, in order to make the wedding lively, the best men always figure out some funny ways to play jokes on the bridesmaids, such as throwing these girls into the swimming pool. This is not a joke, but a rude behavior. The more ridiculous tradition is the groom’s father kiss the bride. Everybody was shocked by this farce. If the tradition is out of date, then it should be removed.
