《经济学家》读译参考 Translated Edited by Chen Jilong TEXT 81 Back in fashion 再度风行（陈继龙编译） Nov 30th 2006 | WASHINGTON, DC From The Economist print edition Big love dares to speak its name “大爱”不惧名声在外。 （1） IN 2001, Warren Jeffs officiated[1] while a 14-year-old girl married her 19-year-old cousin. It was the first marriage for the bride and meant to be the first of many for the groom. Mr Jeffs is the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). With perhaps 10,000 members, it is the largest of the polygamous[2] sects that spun off[3] from Mormonism[4] more than 100 years ago. On November 21st prosecutors in Utah argued that Mr Jeffs should be charged with two counts of rape as an accomplice. 2001 年，沃伦•杰夫主持了一名14 岁女孩和她19 岁表哥的婚礼。这是新娘的初婚，而对新郎而言，这也 是她娶的第一个但又注定不是唯一的新娘。杰夫是耶稣基督末世圣徒原教旨教会的教主。该教会是一百多 年前从摩门教独立出来的最大的一个分支，奉行一夫多妻制，大约有1 万名教徒。11 月21 日，犹他州检 控官指认杰夫充当了两起强奸案的帮凶。 The case has brought renewed attention to polygamists in America. The practice is illegal, and widely reviled. A Gallup poll[5] in May 2006 found that 93% of Americans consider it immoral. The threats of prosecution and persecution have usually been enough to keep polygamists subdued. But lately they are becoming emboldened. （2 ） For one thing, the scorn is often mutual. “It would be easier to lie, cheat, and steal like you guys do,” one polygamous husband told a television reporter. “I have a certain amount of disgust for monogamy.” Besides, the debate over gay marriage has led to a wide national dialogue over traditional morality. Earlier this year, the television network HBO aired a series about a polygamous family. “Big Love”, which got respectable ratings, portrays plural marriage as more demanding than deviant. 该案再次引起了人们对美国实行一夫多妻者的关注。（在美国）实行一夫多妻属于非法行为，并且为世人 所不齿。今年5 月的一项盖洛普民意测验显示，93 ％的美国人认为此乃不道德的行
