疫情下成熟伴侣更受青睐

The largest annual scientific study on single adults shows that COVID-19 has caused a dramatic shift in people's priorities when it comes to dating, sex and love.

本年度规模最大的单身成年人科学研究表明，受疫情影响，人们在约会、性和爱情中最看重的元素发生了显著变化。

Faculty from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University say some of the changes could last well beyond the pandemic.

印第安纳大学金赛研究所的研究人员表示，某些变化可能在疫情结束之后仍会持续存在。

Data from the 2021 study shows that 83% of singles want a partner who's emotionally mature.

2021年的研究数据显示，83%的单身人士想要一个情感成熟的伴侣。

Only 78% want someone physically attractive, compared to 90% in 2020.

只有78%的人希望找颜值高的人，而2020年这一比例为90%。

That mindset change is also reflected in a drastic increase in those interested in marriage.

对婚姻感兴趣的人数急剧增加也反映出了这种心态的变化。

The number of singles who want a partner desiring marriage jumped from 58% two years ago to 76% this year—and men and younger adults are leading in this pattern.

想要结婚的单身人士数量从两年前的58%跃升到今年的76%，其中以男性和年轻人居多。

With that focus on stability, casual sex has become a lower priority for singles than in the past, with more focusing on emotional connection.

随着对稳定性的需求增加，随意风流对于单身人士没有以前那么重要了，他们更关注情感的维系。
