"Al regular las ruptura conyugales, el divorcio las facilita. Ya no hay que resignarse ante un matrimonio para toda la vida", seala la catedrtica de Sociologa Ins Alberdi. Pronostica un aumento de las crisis por varios factores: "Por un lado influye la creciente aceptacin social del divorcio. Por otro, el aumento de las expectativas vitales, que provoca un alza de las exigencias en las relaciones de pareja. Al tiempo, crecen las alternativas fuera del matrimonio". Otro elemento que incide es la autonoma econmica de la mujer, creciente por su incorporacin al mercado laboral. "En general, los hombres se culpabilizan menos por dejar a su mujer si sta trabaja. Y las mujeres no se ven obligadas a seguir con el marido por razones de supervivencia", explica Alberdi. "Hay mucho menos espritu de sacrificio en la pareja. Los jvenes no aguantan un pelo, y los mayores se contagian un poco", tercia Zarraluqui. "El divorcio no tiene edad", aade. Pese a la carencia de datos oficiales sobre el perfil de los divorciados, el letrado asegura que "las rupturas entre ancianos crecen mucho, sobre todo a partir del momento de la jubilacin". Tanto los abogados de familia como al menos dos asociaciones de separados estn a favor de una reforma legislativa que permita solicitar el divorcio sin tener que pasar previamente por la separacin. Hay quien aade la peticin de un fondo pblico que abone las prestaciones de los padres o madres morosos y se las reclame posteriormente. EL PAS. "20 aos de divorcio en Espaa", SOCIEDAD/27, 7 de junio de 2001. Traduccin (de un alumno): "The regulation of couplesseparations is made easier by divorce. One no longer has to resign oneself to a marriage for life", says Sociology professor Ins Alberdi. She predcicts the increase of crises for several reasons: "On the one hand, divorce has become more acceptable socially. On the other, one can observe a growth of peoplesexpectations from life and this contributes towards people expecting more from relationships. At the same time, alternatives outside marriage are more common." Ejercicio 2, parte 1. Traduccin inglsespaol. "The first generation of the new wave, whose first novels seemed to reviewers to form some kind of group, were John Wain, Kingsley Amis and Iris Murdoch. The common factor was a cheerful desire to cock a snook at respectable society, at safe, middleclass prefessions, at dull provincial institutions. The typical hero is middleclass himself, but alienated from it, pricking its pretensions both social and cultural. Lucky Jim at the madrigalsinging party of his repulsive professor, Welch, is a typical fifties hero in a typical predicament. The tone of the books is antiestablishment, taking that word in its usual specific sense (the people who hold the reigns of power, who occupy the influential opinionforming positions in the nation at large), and in its more general one (those who sit on any sort of plum job, and have a degree of patronage to dish out). Lucky Jim has to keep in well with his professor as well as pretend to write his alltootypical thesis throwing "pseudolight... on nonproblems;" inevitably, as a fifties hero, he proves inept at both tasks. Typically too, he wealks off at the end of the novel with the pneumatic blonde from the metropolis, where a cushy job awaits him. Fantasy, obviously, is already entering in; what is more dangerous, the justified rebellion and snookcocking seem to end in nothing more than rejecting the phony and embracing the meretricious.
