爱思英语编者按：据路透社报道，美国大多数已婚人士都相信自己已“选对了人”，但并非所有人都相信“灵魂伴侣”一说。由马里斯特学院开展的一项民调显示，美国97%的男性和94%的女性相信自己找到了“唯一”，这一调查结果出乎调查人员的意料，原因是美国的离婚率很高。马里斯特学院调查中心主任李•M•米林哥夫说：“很显然，人们觉得一切都很好，但事实可能并非如此。”据总部位于亚特兰大的美国疾病防控中心的全国性统计数据显示，美国近三分之一的已婚人士结婚未满十年便以离婚而告终。
Married Americans overwhelmingly believe they married the right person but not all of them believe in the idea of soul mates.
A Marist poll showed that 97 percent of men and 94 percent of women are convinced they found the one, a finding which surprised researchers because of the country"s high divorce rate.
"There are clearly people who think things are going very well, but it may not turn out that way," said Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist College Poll.
About one third of marriages in the United States end in divorce before the 10th anniversary, according to national data from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
Ninety seven percent of people in the Midwest and western regions of the country were confident they chose the right person, followed by 96 percent in the south and 90 percent in the northeast.更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/
One hundred percent of people aged 18 to 29 said they married the right person.
Although most people think they made the right choice, only 66 percent of those who are married said they believed in soul mates, the idea that two people are destined to be together.
Young adults 29 years old or younger, people in households earning less than $50,000, and those living in the south were most likely to believe in the concept.
"Although two thirds buy into the notion of destiny, a third does not. The idyllic view of marriage doesn"t hold for everyone," Miringoff said.
The findings are based on a telephone survey of 1,004 adults, including 530 people who were married.
