完美婚姻的几大特定规律

       By comparison, a marriage where a woman partners an equally poorly educated male divorcee who is five or more years her junior is up to five times more likely to fail.

　　相比之下，如果女方和男方的受教育程度都较低，男方曾离异，且比女方小五岁或以上，那么他们离婚的几率会增加五倍。

　　The study is good news for David Cameron, 43, and wife Samantha, 38. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama, 48, and wife Michelle, 45, may have only a three-year difference in age but have been married for 17 years.

　　这对于（英国保守党领袖）43岁的戴维?卡梅伦和他的妻子、38岁的萨曼莎来说应该是个好消息。此外，美国总统巴拉克?奥巴马（48岁）和妻子米歇尔（45岁）尽管只差三岁，但他们的婚姻已维持了17年。

　　But the study may not be welcomed by Michael Douglas, 65, and his 40-year-old wife Catherine Zeta-Jones – the research suggests a marriage is more likely to fail if only one partner has been previously divorced, and Douglas was married once before.

　　但迈克尔?道格拉斯（65岁）和妻子凯瑟琳?泽塔-琼斯（40岁）可能不会喜欢这套公式。研究表明，如果夫妻中只有一方曾离异，那么两人离婚的几率较大，而道格拉斯之前就有过一次婚史。

　　Academics including Dr Emmanuel Fragnière of the University of Bath studied interviews with 1,534 Swiss couples who were either married or in a serious relationship. Five years later they followed up 1,074 of the couples to see which had separated.

　　包括巴斯大学的伊曼纽尔?弗拉尼耶博士在内的研究人员们对1534对瑞士情侣进行了调查，这些受访者或者已结婚，或者正在恋爱。五年之后，研究人员又回访了其中的1074对，看哪些人已经分手。
