 [English]从裤腰看男人 | |
从裤腰看男人 Life has many ups and downs - and so does a gentleman's waistband. 生活一直有高低起伏——男士的腰带也是这样。 The way he wears his trousers is directly linked to his age, researchers claim. 研究人员表示，一个男人穿裤子的方式是和年龄直接相关的。 Boys under the age of 12 wear their trousers around their natural waist - because most of their clothing is bought for them by their parents. 12岁以下的小男孩，裤腰差不多就在自然腰身那里——因为他们大部分的衣服都是父母为他们买的。 As they enter their teenage years, waistbandsplunge a full five inches towards the apex of the hips as a sign of rebellion, a survey suggests. 一项调查显示，青少年时期，男孩的裤腰整整下降了5寸，直到臀部上方，是一种叛逆的象征。 They plummet to below the hips at the age of 16 as young men imitate rappers and gangsters by letting the crotch of their jeans dangle around their knees, with several inches of underpant on show. 16岁的时候，裤腰下落到臀部以下，年轻人为了模仿饶舌歌手和不良少年，让牛仔裤的裤裆部分下垂到膝盖那，而上面露出几寸内裤出来。 The study found that waistbands slowly begin to creep up an inch or two as a man leaves his teenage years behind and enters the workplace. 研究发现，当男人告别青春期，进入职场时，裤腰开始一寸两寸地慢慢往上升。 By the age of 27, a chap of average build will probably wear his waistband actually around his waist. 27岁正常体格的男人，裤腰差不多就在自己腰处。 But at 39, it begins to rise again and by 45 it will be at least two inches above. 到了39岁，裤腰又往上升了；45岁的时候已经在腰部上方两寸处了。 This figure increases significantly past 50 to a peak of five inches by 57. This is just seven inches below the armpits. 50岁之后，这个数字显著上升，57岁时达到最 | |

| [English]男人更不容易忘记旧爱 | |
男人更不容易忘记旧爱 We too often define "romantic" in women's terms--sending flowers and cards, saving mementos and putting them in a box or scrapbook, gushing over chick romance movies, or listening to romantic songs all day. 我们通常用女性的方式定义“浪漫”——赠送鲜花和卡片，收集纪念品并且把它们放在小盒子里面或者做成剪贴板，对少女类的浪漫电影喋喋不休，或者整天听浪漫的音乐。 Men may not do these things, but many men do something more romantic than all that: they keep their love in their hearts forever. 男人们也许不会做这些事儿，但是许多男人做的事儿比这些更浪漫：他们会将爱人永远记在心里。 My survey of 3000 men and women worldwide who tried reunions with lost loves asked, "How long did it take for you to get over your lost love?" Responses from the men indicated that they took significantly longer to get over their lost loves than the women. Some of the men were not satisfied with the survey choices: the last choice listed was, "Over 10 years." Only men crossed out all the choices and wrote, "I never got over her!" While no doubt some women never got over their lost loves, either, only men wrote this comment on the survey. 我调查询问了3000个全世界的男女，他们正在试图与失去的恋人破镜重圆。“你们需要多少时间从失恋中恢复过来？”男人们的回答表明，他们需要的时间比女性明显要长。一些男人对我调查中的选项不满意：最多只有“超过十年”。只有男人划掉了所有的选项，然后写到，“我从来没有从她那儿恢复过来！”尽管一些女性也毫无疑问从未从他失去的爱人的哀伤中恢复过来，但是，只有男人写下了这种评论。 Adolescent boys are "not supposed" to cry over lost loves. But many of my male participants reported that, after their high school girlfriends broke up with them, they cried in private, every night, for months. | |
