【中英对照】
Romance does not have to fizzle out in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found.
最新研究发现,长期的爱情关系并不一定导致浪漫元素的减少,也不会导致恋爱关系向伙伴或朋友关系转变。
Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier relationships.
浪漫爱情可以持续一生,并且变得越来越幸福,越来越健康。
"Many believe that romantic love is the same as passionate love," said lead researcher Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD, then at Stony Brook University (currently at University of California, Santa Barbara). "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component. Passionate or obsessive love includes feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love helps drive the shorter relationships but not the longer ones."
主持研究的Bianca P. Acevedo当时是石溪大学的博士生,现任职于加州大学圣芭芭拉分校。她表示,很多人以为浪漫之爱和激情之爱是一回事,但实际上并非如此。浪漫之爱在强度、承诺和性吸引方面与激情之爱相同,但没有后者的强迫性成分。激情的或者强迫性的爱情包含了不确定和焦虑的感觉,它驱动的是短期关系而不是长期关系。
