FORGET the proverbial seven-year itch.
忘了七年之癢的諺語吧
Not to disillusion the half million or so June brides and bridegrooms who were just married, but new research suggests that the spark may fizzle within only three years.
不是要讓大約五十萬的六月新娘或新郎幻滅
但是最新研究顯示
愛的火光燃燒只有三年
Researchers analyzed responses from two sets of married or cohabitating couples: one group was together for one to three years, the other for four to six years.
調察者分析兩組人馬：已婚夫婦或同居情侶
發現到前者一到三年
後者四到六年
While the researchers could not pinpoint a precise turning point — the seven-year itch, as popularized in the play and film about errant husbands, was largely a theory — they found distinct differences between the groups.
但是研究人員不能精確指出轉捩點：
（戲劇中七年之癢的迷途丈夫
主要是一個理論）
他們發現組群間有明顯差異
