研究显示 在特定日期举行婚礼可能导致离婚

Choosing a wedding date is a big decision -- should you opt for a date in the school holidays, save pennies by picking a weekday or even plan a Christmas wedding?

选择结婚日期是一个重大的决定，你会在学校假期日结婚？为节省开支选择工作日结婚？或者甚至计划一场圣诞婚礼？

Well, a study could help you narrow down the options, after researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia revealed having your wedding on a specific date could spell bad news.

好吧，一项研究可以帮助你缩小选择范围。澳大利亚墨尔本大学的研究人员发现，在特定的日期举行婚礼可能会带来坏消息。

They analyzed one million married couples and found Feb. 14 -- also known as Valentine's Day -- to be the worst date to get married.

通过分析100万对已婚夫妇，他们发现2月14日（又称情人节）是最不适合结婚的日子。

Some 11 percent of those who got hitched on the romantic day were divorced within five years. After nine years, 21 percent had legally split.

那些在这一浪漫的日子结婚的人中，约有11%在五年内离婚了。有21%的人在9年后合法离婚了。

But Valentine's Day isn't the only date you should steer clear of. They also pointed to "special number days" such as September 1999 (which also reads as 9/9/99).

但情人节并不是唯一一个你应该避开的日子。他们还指出了“特殊的数字日”，比如1999年9月（也读作9/9/99）。

It's been suggested that couples who choose these dates are more focused on the perfect wedding than a happy marriage.

有人认为选择这些日期的夫妇更关注完美的婚礼而不是幸福的婚姻。
