Some, however, balance things differently. Ma Shunyang, 20, a sophomore student at Guangdong Foreign Studies University, always gives some money to her boyfriend before going out for a dinner or a movie.
当然有些人也有不同的处理方式。广东外语外贸大学20岁的二年级生马顺阳(音译)在吃饭或者看电影前总是先给他男朋友钱。
“It is understandable for my boyfriend to be the one in charge in front of others,” said Ma.
她说：“我能理解我的男朋友在其他人面前愿意表现出占主导的姿态。”
Ma also thinks that having expensive dinners or going to expensive movies doesn’t guarantee a happy relationship. “The key is how much thought is put into the relationship, not how much money,” said Ma.
她还认为吃饭看电影花大价钱并不能保证幸福的爱情。她认为：“问题的关键在于投入了多少感情，而不是多少钱。”
