But with women, the opposite is true. The study found that a woman expects a good-looking man to pay for her, perhaps as a way of making him invest in their future.

　　但是女人则正好相反。研究发现，如果一个女人希望一个帅哥给她付账，这也许就是让他为他们的未来投资的一种方式。

　　The researcher said: ‘When the woman lets the man pay for her, she is basically saying she’d like a second date.’

　　研究人员说：“如果女人让男人为她买单，她基本上就是在暗示希望能有第二次约会。”

　　It also means that if a woman does insist on paying, or at least making a contribution, it may be a sign that the date hasn’t gone well.

　　这也意味着，如果一个女人坚持要买单，或至少是分摊费用，这可能就是约会失败的讯号。

　　Dr Stirrat said: ‘If he is less attractive, she’d rather split the bill.’

　　斯特拉特博士说：“如果他没那么有魅力，她宁愿分摊费用。”
