matchmaking

基本解释

The aim is typically to hoodwink parents anxious to see their children on the path to starting a family and ward off the possibility of parental matchmaking.
一般都是为了欺骗为子女婚事操心的父母，让他们看到孩子正在为成家而努力，防止父母安排相亲。
But again some scepticism is warranted. Rising divorce rates and a growth in casual dating were apparent well before the first online matchmaking sites came into being.
但那些怀疑论者们又一次开始辩解了：离婚率升高及随意约会增加在第一个在线做媒网站出现前就显现了。
