  • And one study found that

  • 50% of people who possess the long allele variant of this gene had cheated on their partner,

    對偶基因中長體基因變異的人們中有 50% 會背叛他們的另一半,

  • compared to only 22% of people who have the short allele.

    相較之下,擁有短等位基因的人們僅有 22% 會偷吃

  • The long allele participants also had a tendency to be risk-takers and succumb to addictive behaviors such as alcoholism.

    而長等位基因變異的人們也有一種傾向,較喜歡冒險或是陷入成癮行為,例如酗酒

  • Perhaps the phrase once a cheater, always a cheater may have a basis in reality.

    也許那句名言「一次不忠,就永遠都會不忠。」在現實中是有所根據的

  • found that cheating women had a variant in the gene that codes for a vasopressin receptor

    發現對另一半不忠的婦女在抗利尿激素受體的基因排編排上有些許變異

  • further suggesting that low levels of vasopressin have an influence on cheating.

    進一步推論出抗利尿激素較少,可能會導致出軌與偷吃的行為

  • Money may also be a factor;
