When you’re in love with a beautiful woman, you really do have to watch your friends. Just like Dr Hook warned in their 1979 hit, research has revealed that relationships in which the woman is more attractive than the man may be doomed to failure. However, having a handsome husband or boyfriend is no barrier to the couple’s success, according to the study.

　如果說“紅花必須綠葉配”，那么紅花與綠葉的搭配法則隨著時代的更替又需要重新普及下了。倘若你要與一名美女陷入愛河中，好事的科學(xué)家們又要提醒你，你又要小心了！因?yàn)閺膽偾轫樌l(fā)展的機(jī)率來說，與美女談戀愛，失敗的機(jī)率會很高！與之相反，與帥哥談戀愛或者找一個超級超級迷死人的老公的結(jié)果卻恰恰相反，絲毫不會影響你們戀愛成功的步伐。

Their findings could help explain why Angelina Jolie’s marriages to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton barely lasted three years a piece. In contrast, her relationship with Brad Pitt, one of the world’s most handsome celebrities, has already lasted six years, suggesting she has found her match. The Stirling, Chester and Liverpool university researchers took photos of the men and women in more than 100 couples. Some had been together for just a few months, others for several years. The individual men and women were then rated on their looks.

　專家拿出好萊塢第一美人安吉麗娜·朱麗的婚史來讓普羅大眾“以史為鑒”，回顧安吉麗娜·朱麗的戀情與婚史（與演員Jonny Lee Miller 和Billy Bob Thornton 的婚姻僅僅維持3年），而安吉麗娜與世界第一大帥鍋布萊特·皮特的婚姻卻整整維持了6年直到如今，看來速配并不只是“男才女貌”而已，還需要都要長得靠譜才能維持得久啊！利物浦大學(xué)的研究者針對100名夫婦拍攝照片后，經(jīng)過調(diào)查，有一些夫婦維持了幾個月有一些維持了數(shù)年，這些感情的長短要是與他們的外貌“相提并論”的話還確實(shí)是“值得考究”的哦！

　The analysis revealed having an attractive husband or boyfriend was no barrier to a relationship succeeding. But, if it was the woman who was the one blessed with good looks, the relationships tended to last only a matter of months, the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin reports. Researcher Rob Burriss said: ‘This would indicate it is the woman who is in control of whether the relationship continues. Beautiful women may realise they can afford to pick and choose, he suggests. They may also have the confidence to leave behind relationships that have run their course. ‘Attractive women might generally prefer short-term relationships. They’re better placed to move on.’

　分析家指出了，找一個帥氣的男友或者老公并不會影響戀情的發(fā)展，但是女人倘若太美的話，對戀情發(fā)展不利！有數(shù)據(jù)竟然表示，與超級大美女戀愛的時期可以縮短到短短數(shù)月就“歇菜”了，這項(xiàng)數(shù)據(jù)還發(fā)表在了期刊《個性與社會心理學(xué)通報》上。研究員說：“這項(xiàng)結(jié)論證明了一個道理，女人在是掌握一段戀情發(fā)展質(zhì)量與時間的最重要的平衡點(diǎn)，漂亮的女人更有相對的挑選優(yōu)先權(quán)，她們可以決定她們是否繼續(xù)戀愛，因?yàn)槊琅Ｍ麘偾槎虝翰①|(zhì)量好，戀情短了，她們就可以繼續(xù)下一段戀愛了。”
