to spend the rest of their lives together ...

要與另一半攜手共度他們往後的人生...

並且承諾絕對不會跟任何其他的人有染。

他會買下婚戒，她會挑選好婚紗，

and some guy her dad once did business with,

還有一些她父親生意夥伴的面前，

You know, because they can't hear the snoring anymore.

你知道的，因為他們終於不用聽到對方的鼾聲了。

他們還會在婚禮那天一起發酒瘋

and smash cake in each others' faces and do the "Macarena,"

half of them will be divorced within a decade.

這些夫妻們有一半會在十年內離婚。

當然，還是有半數的夫妻沒有離婚，對吧?

他們只是會不停的忘記結婚紀念日，

and arguing about where to spend holidays

will even still be enjoying each others' company

when neither of them can chew solid food anymore.

研究員們想知道他們是如何辦到的。

I mean, look, it doesn't take a double-blind, placebo-controlled study

你也知道，用不著大費周章的做科學考證

to figure out what makes a marriage not work.

我們也知道什麼會使婚姻出現問題。

But you can have the exact opposite of all of those things --

這些徹底的遵守一夫一妻制的婚姻，

and the thing still can go to hell in a hand basket.

仍舊會因為雞毛蒜皮的小事而破裂。

所以說，那些成功的幸福婚姻，

And if you're still happily sleeping solo,

甚至，如果你是個快樂的單身貴族，

that you can annoy for the rest of your life?

Well researchers spend billions of your tax dollars

多虧你們的納稅錢，研究員們得以

他們像偵探一樣跟蹤那些幸福小夫妻，

and they study their every move and mannerism.

觀察他們的一舉一動，特殊癖好，

from their miserable neighbors and friends.

不被身邊朋友與鄰居的悲劇同化。

actually, beyond they don't have sex with other people.

舉例來說，其中一個共同點就是

the wife is thinner and better looking than the husband.

太太的身材還有外型保持的比先生好。

It's obvious that this leads to marital bliss

這樣的現象在幸福婚姻中屢見不鮮，

男人對性的最高理想，就是對象能

who are thinner and better looking than they are.

we just have to be thinner than our partners.

只要維持著比我們的先生瘦一點就好。
