Swedish researchers said Tuesday what women have suspected all along: that marital woes can often be attributed to men's genetic make-up, according to a study linking a common male gene to relationship problems.

　　婚姻不幸福？瑞典研究人員于本周二稱，這往往是男性的基因組成在“作怪”。一項有關男性攜帶的某種基因與婚姻問題的研究證實了女性一直以來的懷疑。

　　The gene variant, which is present in four of 10 Swedish men, can explain why some men are more prone to stormy relationships and bond less to their wives or girlfriends, a team of researchers at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute said.

　　斯德哥爾摩卡羅林斯卡學院的一組研究人員稱，這種基因變體可以解釋為什么有些男性與伴侶的關系不穩定、容易出軌。在10名瑞典男性中，有四人攜帶此種基因變體。

　　"There are, of course, many reasons why a person might have relationship problems, but this is the first time that a specific gene variant has been associated with how men bond to their partners," Hasse Walum, one of the researchers, said in a statement.

　　研究小組成員之一哈瑟?瓦盧姆在一份聲明中說：“當然，婚姻出現問題可能有很多原因，但這是首次將某種特定的基因變體與男性對伴侶的忠貞度聯系在一起。”

　　The team found that men who carry one or two copies of a variant of the gene often behave differently in relationships than men who lack the gene variant, called allele 334.

　　研究小組發現，攜帶一個或兩個這種名為“334型等位基因變種”的男性與沒有這種基因變種的男性相比，對待婚姻或感情的態度有所不同。
