  3.One in five long-term love relationships began with one or both partners being involved with others.

  在关系持久的恋人中,五分之一的人一方或双方在进入这段恋情之初是作为第三者。

  4.Falling in love can induce a calming effect on the body and mind and raises levels of nerve growth factor for about a year, which helps to restore the nervous system and improves the lover’s memory.

  当你坠入爱河时,你的身体和精神都会产生一种镇定作用,神经生长因子值也会上升,从而你的神经系统将得以改善,记忆力也会增强。

  9.People who are newly in love produce decreased levels of the hormone serotonin —as low as levels seen in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to feel obsessed when you’re smitten.

  刚刚坠入爱河的时候,人的荷尔蒙血清素值会降低,低到近乎强迫症患者的血清素值。大概这就是为什么人们在一见钟情之际都感到特别沉迷其中。
