今天的句子：
不管是封建時代的買賣婚姻捺檬，還是近代的自由戀愛赏胚，都曾流傳一個大家心照不宣的擇偶法則：聰明的女人定要用年輕和美貌去博一個或比自己經(jīng)濟狀況好的郎君昵骤，而且最好這個男人又老又丑悍抑，會一輩子因為“拾到寶”而倍感幸運罩阵。陋室明娟嫁給豪門巨富就算是這個法則的一種極端實踐。但在女性已經(jīng)獲得相當大的經(jīng)濟自由的當下序臂，這個求偶法則已然發(fā)生變化蚌卤。線上相親網(wǎng)站的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，不管男女都會主動去搭訕綜合吸引力（同時包括對外貌奥秆、性格和經(jīng)濟社會條件的考量）評分高于自己的異性逊彭，其中男性的概率是26%，而女性的是23%构订。也就是說侮叮，在找對象這件事上，男人也愿意找個比自己強的悼瘾。
當然就單詞和婚戀而言你必須關(guān)注上面這個號囊榜，相信我沒錯的。你不會失望亥宿！
Throughout the history of dating, it’s been a truth universally acknowledged that a smart woman trades up socioeconomically but down when it comes to youth and looks – to ensure that the gentleman in question remains forever “grateful” to secure such a “prize”.?

2. acknowledge 認可
3. ensure 確保

參考譯文：聰明的女人會在經(jīng)濟社會方面就高卸勺，但在年紀和外表上則就低，這樣她的對象就會因為獲得如此的“獎勵”（恩賜）而一直“心存感激”烫扼。綜觀整個求偶史曙求，這是一個被普遍認可的真理。
（也就是：聰明的女人會找一個比自己社會地位高材蛛，經(jīng)濟條件好圆到，但長相不如自己的男性怎抛。）
思考題：
An intelligent woman is more likely to find a “grateful” man compared with a good-looking woman.

（我不同意這句話白胀，不管男女只要好好自我管理，都能越活越精彩８Ц凇）
