【原文】 In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin dating in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social contacts. 【参考译文】 在美国，父母不为自己的孩子安排婚姻。青少年在高中开始约会且通常凭借自己的学校和社交人脉来找伴侣。 【难点分析】 在翻译“Teenagers begin dating in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social contacts.”这部分时，可根据中文的表达习惯和语境将“academic and social contacts”译成“学校和社交人脉”，而不是按照字面意思译成“学术和社会联系”。
