吉米老师前言：《欢乐颂2》已经播出三分之二，每次的剧情高潮一播出，都不免会掀起一场话题风浪。邱莹莹因为不是处女而被甩，究竟女友是否是处女对一个男人而言重不重要呢？吉米老师带大家来解析。
处女是否仍然是当今中国女性的珍贵资产
五美一台戏的《欢乐颂2》播得正火，剧中的几对CP也在最大程度上满足了吃瓜群众的八卦属性。然而，最近邱莹莹和应勤这一对儿却引起了争议。在电视剧中，“小两口”本来相处得不错，大家也挺看好，结果却因为“处女”问题分手。
这一话题甚至引起了BBC的强势围观↓↓↓
中国最火的电视剧《欢乐颂2》中的这一情景引发了一波讨论：处女是否仍然是当今中国女性的珍贵资产。
The scene from China's biggest soap opera right now, Ode to Joy 2, has triggered much discussion on whether virginity is still a prized asset for women in modern China.
《欢乐颂》可以说是《欲望都市》的含蓄版本，很受女性观众欢迎，该剧聚焦大城市中女性的爱情、事业、友谊和面临的困境等方面。
The show, a less risque version of Sex and the City, is popular among women for its focus on romance, careers, friendships and the difficulties women face in the big city.
在这一幕中，邱莹莹宴请大家，顺便把男朋友应勤介绍给姐妹们，然而却意外被抖搂出来和前任发生过关系。
In the scene, she holds a dinner party to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, but the evening turns dramatic after her neighbour accidentally exposes her past relationship.
邱莹莹和应勤分手了，因为邱莹莹不是处女，所以应勤觉得她不自爱的同时更是对他的一种欺骗。
Ying qin broke up with Qiu ying ying, because Qiu ying ying is not a virgin. and he thinks Qiu ying ying didn't have self-respect and lied to him.
面对这样一个问题，邱莹莹自己也很后悔。之后她更是“好心”相劝安迪，让她一定要把第一次留给能和自己结婚生子，过一辈子的男人。
In the face of this problem, Qiu yingying was so regretted.After breaking up with Ying qin , she advised Andy to give the first time to a man who could marry and have children with her.
BBC同时关注起了中国的性教育问题↓↓↓
性教育在中国的现状堪忧，经常出现男教师在课堂上跳过女性生殖系统的知识细节，而让学生们自学。而家长也很少跟孩子们分享性教育方面的信息。
Sex education in China is often poor. There are stories of male biology teachers skipping details of the female reproductive system in class and asking students to learn it by themselves. And parents very rarely share information about sex with their children.
这也意味着，电视剧对于观众价值观的形成很有影响力。对于年轻观众，特别是年轻女性观众，电视剧是她们了解性方面的知识以及改变看法的窗口。
That means TV dramas are very influential in shaping audiences' values. They are windows for young audiences, especially young women, to understand sex and sexuality and the ways views are changing.
处女问题的双标
Double standards on virginity
BBC也就这个问题进行了采访。一位名叫紫银（音）的影视助理出品人就认为，这个话题在21世纪过时了，电视剧拿处女问题博眼球很“恶心”，在现代城市中，女性更加独立、解放。
Zi Yin, a Shanghai-based film assistant producer, told the BBC that even debating the topic was old-fashioned in the 21st Century. She thought it was 'disgusting' for the show to make an issue of it. In modern cities, women are more independent and liberated.
同样，也有观众持不同看法，比如电视剧的粉丝裴子夜（音）就表示，如果男朋友保持贞洁，他有理由要求他的女朋友保持贞洁。
问题就在于，男性面对这个问题时，是否“严于待人，宽于律己”地采取了双重标准。
But not everyone agrees the virginity debate is over. One of Ode to Joy's female fans, Ziye Pei, told the BBC it was perfectly reasonable for a boyfriend who was a virgin himself to require his girlfriend to be so.
The only problem, she said, was if it was a double standard and the man expected chastity from a woman but not himself.
Someone questioned why there wasn't gender equality when it came to chastity, but another said she couldn't accept Ying Qin's comment on women who had sex before marriage.
《欢乐颂2》的剧情还在推进，应勤和邱莹莹也可能重归于好，只不过关于处女的问题，可能还要讨论下去，无论是在影视剧中，还是在真实生活中。
