Shared interests, a sense of humour and a healthy sex life may all go a
long way to creating a satisfying marriage.
拥有共同的兴趣爱好、富有幽默感和健康的夫妻生活对创造美满婚姻均大有裨益。
‘Although it has been known that women prefer tall men in mating for
evolutionary reasons, no study has investigated whether a taller husband makes
his wife happier,’ said researcher Kitae Sohn, from Konkuk University in Seoul,
South Korea.
“尽管众所周知出于进化的原因，女性更喜欢高个子男性，目前尚无调查研究高个子丈夫是否可以让其妻更幸福，”韩国首尔建国大学研究员孙基泰如是说。
A greater height difference in a couple was positively related to the
wife’s happiness. He added that the relationship between height and happiness
‘gradually weakened over time and entirely dissipated by 18 years of marital
duration’.
夫妇身高差与妻子幸福感正相关。他补充说，身高和幸福感的关系会随时间推移而弱化，直到婚姻进入18个年头后完全消解。
Dr Sohn, who analysed data from 7,850 women collected from a long-term
population survey, said there could be many reasons why a taller man was linked
to a happier wife.
孙基泰从一项历时较长的人口调查中收集了7850名女性的数据，称男性个子偏高与妻子更为幸福相关联，其后有诸多原因。
One is the intrinsic value of height; that is, women simply like tall men,
while unable to say why.
原因之一是身高的内在价值，即女性就是莫名喜欢高个子男性。
This is similar to people favouring fatty, salty, and sugary foods without
knowing exactly why: such foods are essential to survival but were scarce as
humans evolved - hence craving for such foods increased reproductive fitness in
the past.
这个和人们说不清为何喜欢高脂、偏咸或偏甜的食物一样，即这些食物对于人类生存至关重要，但随着人类进化，这些食物数量稀少，因而在过去对这些食物有渴求能增加生育能力。
