A new study suggests the longer you wait to walk down the aisle, the MORE likely you are to end up divorced.
一項新的研究表明步入婚姻殿堂前等待時間越長，最終越有可能離婚。

Nicholas Wolfinger – a sociologist at the University of Utah – reckons the chances of your marriage ending in divorce increase with every year after the age of 33.
尼古拉斯?沃爾芬格（猶他大學(xué)的一位社會學(xué)家）測算出婚姻最終破裂的可能性在33歲之后會逐年增加。

Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, the sociologist pinpoints an age window between mid to late twenties in which saying ‘I do’ is said to lead to a happily ever after rather than a decree nisi.
這位社會學(xué)家利用《全國家庭成長調(diào)查》的數(shù)據(jù)確定了（結(jié)婚）最佳年齡是在25歲到29歲之間，在這個年齡段說出“我愿意”會使人幸福美滿，而不是最終換來一紙離婚判決書。

Wolfinger said: ‘My data analysis shows that prior to age 32 or so, each additional year of age at marriage reduces the odds of divorce by 11 per cent.
沃爾芬格說：“我的數(shù)據(jù)分析表明在32歲左右之前，結(jié)婚年齡每降1歲離婚概率就會下降11%?！?/div>

‘After that the odds of divorce increase by 5 per cent a year.’
“32歲之后，結(jié)婚年齡每增加1歲離婚概率就增長5%?！?/div>
