随着时代改变，越来越多美国人不再把离婚看作可耻的事，而是举办离婚派对，庆祝展开新的人生。这种离婚派对的英文表达是divorce party或break-up party。

美国人流行办“离婚派对”

A new trend is catching on among recent divorcees, as these individuals are holding break-up parties to celebrate the end of their marriage.

新近离婚的美国人流行办“离婚派对”，用这种方式来庆祝婚姻结束。

While some people may find this practice odd, many recent divorcees note that the celebration serves as a way to acknowledge the past but move on to the new life that will await post-divorce.

有些人也许会觉得这一做法很各色，但许多现在的离婚者认为这种庆祝方式既是承认过去，同时也标志着就此展开新生活。

Divorce party is similar to wedding party in some way, with guests indulging in extravagant eating and drinking. However, on a wedding the father hands his daughter off to the groom, but on a divorce party the father take his daughter back from the son-in-law. Some divorcing couples also returned the wedding gifts on the divorce party.

在某些方面，离婚派对跟结婚派对差不多，来宾也大吃大喝。不同的是，在婚礼上，父亲拉着女儿的手，将女儿交给新郎。在离婚派对上，父亲从女婿手中，把女儿接回去。有些离婚夫妻还把结婚时收到的礼物，还给赠送礼物的人。
