Movie Star Couples Share Educational Backgrounds 电影明星也讲“门当户对” The tabloids love a good celebrity romance. But so do scientists. One has even used movie stars as models for understanding why people tend to marry partners with similar levels of education. The star-studded study appears in the Journal of Human Capital. [Gustaf Bruze, "Marriage Choices of Movie Stars: Does Spouse’s Education Matter?"] 小报最喜欢报道形象良好的名人们的花边资讯，但是科学家们也不例外。 有一位科学家甚至用电影明星来示范为什么人们喜欢找教育程度相似的伴侣。这项众星云集的研究成果发表在《人力资本》期刊上。[Gustaf Bruze, 《电影明星的结婚选择：配偶的学历重不重要？》] There are any number of reasons why individuals might wed their academic equals. The simplest being that they actually meet each other in school. It could also be that people with similar educational backgrounds wind up side by side in the workplace. Or maybe we’re more comfortable with someone whose earning potential is in our ballpark. 很多人都愿与有同等学历的人结婚是有原因的。最简单的原因就是他们在学校就见过对方了，也有可能他们相似的教育背景为他们的工作产生交集，又或者是因为我们与和自己收入差不多的人待一起感觉更自在。 To sort through the possibilities, Gustaf Bruze, an economist in Denmark, looked to the Big Screen. Thespians, he found, also tend to marry people with the same level of learning. So Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes each have formal education equivalent to completion of high school. |
