  对于“爱情坟墓说”,大家往往莫衷一是;但对于婚后最初那段时光,很少有人否认它的甜蜜。瞧!单词honeymoon 1(蜂蜜+月)就是明证,很形象地形容了新婚感觉如蜂蜜般甘甜醇美……有一种说法认为,“honeymoon”源于巴比伦的民情风俗。这个古老的国家一直保留着这样一个传统,在女儿出嫁的第一个月,女孩的父亲每天都会让女婿喝mead(蜂蜜酒),以此希望女儿的婚姻永远幸福甜蜜。
  不过,词源学家否认了这种说法。正统词源学认为,honeymoon并非指婚后一个月。虽然honey喻指新婚的甜蜜,但moon指代的是“月亮的盈亏”,这种苦涩的暗示旨在告诫人们:婚姻固然幸福甜美,但这种甜蜜就像月亮的盈亏只是暂时的,婚姻更多的意味着双方要一起肩负生活的重担,一起承受人生的酸甜苦辣,一起经历生活的风风雨雨。
