Marry Someone Younger? Please Think over
和大年轻的人结婚?请三思
Marrying someone much younger only makes you seem older in the eyes of everyone else, shows an academic study.
一项科学研究显示，和比自己年轻很多的人结婚，在别人眼里你会显得更老。
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. Psychologists from Jena University in Germany discovered that a person's perceived age varies depending on the people they are with. They carried out a series of research projects called Person Perception to see how people estimate the age of others.
研究表示，当看到一个成熟的男人和只有他一半年纪的女性在一起时，因为年龄差距非常大，别人在估计这个男人的年龄时，往往会比他的实际岁数更大一些。德国耶拿大学的心理学家发现，一个人通过外表而感知的年龄会随着身边人的变化而有所变化。研究人员进行了一系列"年龄感知"的研究项目，观察人们是如何判断其他人的年龄的。
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. 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.
如果是独自一个人，大部分观察者都能相对准确地猜测出他的年龄。如果一个小组内的成员年龄相差无几，这一原理同样适用。但是，研究显示如果一个小组中，大部分成员都比较年长，只有一个年轻人，那悬殊差距使得猜测的准确率明显下降。猜测者估计的年龄要和其实际年龄"相差万里"。
