今天情人节，英BBC载文谈灵魂伴侣，发人深省，摘译几段与朋友们分享（英文原文附后）：
最好不要去找所谓的灵魂伴侣，灵魂伴侣的婚姻更加脆弱，因为感情易变。不刻意追求灵魂伴侣，关系会更稳定。
对数以百计的人际关系的研究表明，期望找到一个灵魂伴侣实际上会导致反常的行为模式，更可能以分手告终，这是因为相信灵魂伴侣的人更容易怀抱所谓“命定”心态。因为他们立志找到完美的人，所以更可能疑心他们的关系。他们会小题大作，把生活中发生的小事看成死结：我当初怎么找了个这样的人，真是瞎了眼。
相反，不寄望于找到灵魂伴侣的人怀抱的是“成长”心态。他们相信美满的关系需要经营和妥协，他们总是努力去解决问题。
期望事情会立即完美起来并永远完美下去只会导致失望和怨恨，因为这根本不现实。最成功的情感关系是那些经年累月历经各种变故而相互支持的夫妻，他们从不指望对方完美无缺。
Practically, looking for a soulmate may not be the best approach, however. “Soulmate marriages are more fragile because feelings fluctuate,” Wilcox says. “Having a less soulmate-based approach is linked to more stability.”
Research into hundreds of relationships has showed having an expectation of finding a soulmate actually leads to dysfunctional patterns of behaviour and even makes you more likely to breakup with your partner. This is because people who believe in soulmates tend to have what is known as a ‘destiny’ mindset. Since they are holding out for a perfect person, they are more likely to doubt their relationship, or view a hiccup in the road as a dealbreaker – perhaps this just wasn’t their person after all.
On the other hand, soulmate sceptics tend to have a ‘growth’ mindset. They believe that relationships take work and compromise, and are motivated to find solutions to problems.

Most of the time, we tend to fall into the inertia of a way of thinking, and always use existing methods to solve problems. For the same question, some people can find the answer quickly, while others have no clue after several days. This is because of their different ways of thinking. Sometimes, success is delayed, not because you don't work hard enough, but because your way of thinking needs to be updated. Don't form unconscious inertia in day-to-day life. Change your mind, and the world may be wider.
Two new Vocabulary words of the day!!

Posture ~ Court (ed)
1. Posture ~ n. Posture is the way you position your body or arrange your limbs. So stand up straight, put your shoulders back, and lift that chin up. Ballerinas have an elegant, graceful posture, and soldiers tend to display a rigid, strong posture. If you sit hunched over your desk every day you'll end up with terrible posture. This noun describes the way you carry yourself, but can also describe a certain body position you take, like the different postures in yoga. If you're accused of posturing though, that's a different story — that means you're behaving unnaturally to impress someone.
2. Court ~ v. gerund or present participle: courting. Be involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying. i.e. "he was courting a girl from the neighboring farm" Pay special attention to (someone) in an attempt to win their support or favor. i.e. "Western politicians courted the leaders of the newly independent states, looking for their support." n. A place of justice where they abide by the law. A hard surface where they play tennis or a basketball court.
1... (a) Mary’s bad posture when sitting at her school desk makes her back hurt later during the day. (b) People who slouch when they stand or sit have poor posture. (c) Poor posture such as slouching when talking to an authority gives the impression that you aren’t listening.
2... (a) The prosecution has new evidence to submit to the court. (b) He has courted the girl for many months. (c) There were no tennis matches today, so the young kids rode their bikes>

Traditional, standard, conventional, time honored...
