Question

The soccer star David Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, are going to court to defend their image and marriage. The Beckhams are angry that British tabloid newspaper printed a story that their "happy marriage" is a lie. The News of the World wrote an article saying The Beckhams are just pretending to be happily married to make more money from their Beckham brand". The newspaper said the marriage was really "on the rocks" because of a relationship David had with another woman. He strongly denies this.

The newspaper article suggested that the Beckhams' huge income depended on their public image. It said the couple tried to convince the public that their marriage was happy to get more advertising contracts. The article also said David almost had a nervous breakdown because of arguments with his wife. A lawyer for the newspaper commented on the high profile marriage, asking "is it unhappy, full of rows and tensions because of David Beckham's infidelity, or is it happy?". We said unhappy. The Beckhams  meanwhile insist they are a happily married couple.

Hi, kakak bantu jawab yah ;)

Jawabannya adalah A. Affair.

Soalnya menanyakan menurut berita di atas, alasan pernikahan Beckham tidak bahagia.

Jawabannya terdapat pada akhir paragraf pertama  yang mengatakan bahwa :

The newspaper said the marriage was really "on the rocks" because of a relationship David had with another woman (Surat kabar itu mengatakan pernikahan itu benar-benar "di atas batu" karena hubungan yang dimiliki David dengan wanita lain.)

Makna frasa "on the rocks" berarti hubungan yang sering mangalami permasalahan.

Jadi, jawabannya >> According to the newspaper, the Beckham's marriage was unhappy because of David Beckham's affair (Menurut surat kabar, pernikahan Beckham tidak bahagia karena perselingkuhan David Beckham.)

Semoga membantu.
