“老牛吃嫩草”，只會讓你顯得更老

 

According to the Daily Telegraph on January 7, marrying someone much younger only makes you seem older in the eyes of everyone else, shows an academic study.

據(jù)英國《每日電訊報》1月7日報道，一項科學(xué)研究顯示，和比自己年輕很多的人結(jié)婚，只會讓你在別人眼里顯得更老。

When someone see a mature man with a woman half his age, they estimate him to be much older than it really is because of the obvious gap, said the study.

研究表明，當(dāng)人們看到一個成熟的男人和年齡比他小一半的女性在一起時，因為年齡差距較大，這個男人往往要顯得比實際年齡更大一些。

Psychologists from Jena University in Germany discovered that a person's perceived age varies depending on the people they are with.

德國耶拿大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們的外表年齡往往隨著身邊的人有所變化。

They carried out a series of research projects called Person Perception to see how people estimate the age of others.

研究人員進(jìn)行了一系列“年齡直覺”的研究項目，觀察人們?nèi)绾闻袛嗥渌说哪挲g。

If they see a person on their own then most observers are fairly good as estimating that person's age. And the same applies if there is a group where everyone is around the same age.

如果被調(diào)查者是單獨一人，大部分觀察者都能相對準(zhǔn)確地猜測出他的年齡。如果一個小組的成員年齡相仿，這一原理同樣適用。

But if most of a group are old and one person is young, that difference is exaggerated and those trying to guess the individual's age are "consistently wrong" said the research.

但是，研究顯示如果一個小組大部分成員都比較年長，而一個人較年輕，年齡猜測的準(zhǔn)確率明顯下降。猜測者估計的年齡要和被猜測者的實際年齡"相差萬里"。
