Marriage can have its ups and downs. New research shows that in the first couple years after marriage, women are much more likely than men to gain weight. For men, it's divorce that often leads to extra pounds. The swings for both genders were more pronounced after the age of 30. The findings were presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas.
婚姻里免不了低潮和高潮。最新研究表明在結婚后的頭幾年，女方比男方更容易發胖。對男士來說，離婚常常使他們增重。研究還宣稱在年過三十以后，男女雙方都更容易發胖。以上研究成果是本周在拉斯維加斯召開的美國社會學會年度會議上發布的。
But long-standing unions appear to help in the heart department. Married cardiac patients who had bypass surgery were two-and-a-half times more likely to survive another 15 years or more than those who were single at the time of their surgery. The findings were published in the journal Health Psychology.
然而長期的婚姻關系看起來對心臟科室有好處。在接受搭橋手術時已婚的心臟病患者，其術后15年及以上存活率是未婚者的2.5倍。研究結果發表在健康心理學期刊上。
Married patients who reported a "satisfying" relationship got the biggest boost in survival. Happy women especially benefited. They were nearly four times as likely to live long after bypass surgery as were the unmarried. So, even if it threatens the waistline, a good marriage might actually help mend broken hearts.
那些自述擁有“令人滿意的”婚姻關系的病患有最大的生存機會，而心情愉快的女性尤其是。她們搭橋手術后的存活率幾乎是未婚者的4倍。因此，雖然幸福的婚姻會威脅腰圍，它卻很可能有助于修補破碎的心。
