P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

In June 1869, the report was started, for the third or fourth time, in the newspapers, that Commodore Nutt and Miss Minnie Warren were married--this time at West Haven, in Connecticut. The story was wholly untrue, nor do I think that such a wedding is likely to take place, for, on the principle that people like their opposites, Minnie and the Commodore are likely to marry persons whom they can literally “look up to”--that is, if either of them marries at all it will be a tall partner.

白话

1869年6月,报纸第三次或第四次报道纳特准将和米妮·沃伦小姐在康涅狄格州西黑文结婚。巴纳姆说这故事完全不实,他认为这样的婚礼不太可能发生,因为人们喜欢与自己相反的人,米妮和纳特准将很可能与能让他们“仰视”的人结婚——也就是说,如果他们结婚,伴侣会是高个子。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中辟谣纳特准将与米妮·沃伦的婚讯,并幽默分析他们的择偶倾向。

今日一问

你相信“互补的人更相配”吗?在选择伴侣或合作伙伴时,你更看重相似还是相反?
