男性，年满十八周岁，身高在一米六二以上，体重不低于五十公斤，身体健康，品行端正......只要你符合这些条件，就可以......谈恋爱？结婚？不对，不对，十八岁就结婚，太早了吧，还没到法定结婚年龄呢。那，如果不是征婚条件，这是什么条件呢？嘿嘿，这是看一个男人能不能成为一名军人的首要条件。

法律规定：男人22岁才能结婚，可是18岁就能当兵。这说明了3个问题：一是杀人比做丈夫容易；二是过日子比打仗难；三是女人比敌人更难对付。
fǎlǜ guīdìng ：nánrén èrshíèr suì cái néng jiéhūn ，kěshì shíbā suì jiù néng dāng bīng 。zhè shuōmíng le sān gè wèntí ：yī shì shārén bǐ zuò zhàngfu róngyì ；èr shì guò rìzi bǐ dǎzhàng nán ；sān shì nǚrén bǐ dírén gèng nán duìfu 。
The law stipulates that men can't get married until they're 22 but they can join the army at 18. This raises three issues: first, that killing people is easier than becoming a husband, second, that it's harder to live your life than fight in wars, and third, that it's harder to run into a woman than an enemy.
