【今日话题】Tomb prices rising, why not come in as soon as possible?

发布者: katy | 发布时间: 2011-4-7 23:43| 查看数: 3818| 评论数: 19|

With houses marked up, tombs have been kept rising in price in recent years. Someone makes a joke by saying:" why not come in as soon as possible?'', imitating a dead person urging people alive to meet him earlier under the ground to prevent tomb prices from being too high to afford in the future.

Do you think today's title funny ?What are your sentiments on this issue?

近年来随着房价的上涨,坟地价格也一路飙升。有人模仿死人调侃道:” 为什么不尽早进来?“ ,催促活着的人早点与其在地下相聚,以防将来因坟地价格太高而只能望”坟“兴叹。

您觉得今天的标题可笑吗?您对此有何感想?

It is said most of themwho said to buy the cemetery ahead of people just waiting for prices and profit from it.It is simply mercenary.

I don't care about where to bury my dead body. Scattered the ashes into the sea is not bad either.

With the rising cost of funerals, land scarcity, and dense population today in China, we should consider other options for the deceased, such as: burying the dead under trees or scattering the ashes into the sea. In the meantime, the goverment should regulate funeral-related industry, curb the climbing tomb price, enjoin funeral service companies from making huge profits and ban oversized and luxious cemetries.

It is said that most of THOSE who encourage people to buy CEMETERIES ahead of OTHERS ARE just waiting for THE DAY WHEN TOMB prices INCREASE, FROM WHICH THEY WILL BENEFIT THEN. It is simply mercenary.

I don't care about where to have my dead body("remains" sounds better to me)buried. SCATTERING the ashes into the sea is not bad .(I don't think "either" is necessary to be used here)

不知道是否改变了你原来的意思?

your english is overall wonderful , but i 'm ready to help those who i think are better than me,because in my opinion,sometimes it's difficult for an english learner to find out his own mistakes no matter how good his english is. i hope we can help each other.

IN VIEW OF the rising cost of funerals, land scarcity, and dense population today in China, we should consider other options for the deceased, such as burying the dead under trees or scattering the ashes into the sea. In the meantime, the goverment should STEP UP MANAGEMENT OF funeral-related industrieS, curb the climbing tomb priceS, enjoin funeral service companies from making huge profits and ban oversized and LUXURIOUS cemetries.
