Facebook might understand your romantic prospects better than you do. 脸书网可能比你更了解你的恋情走向。 In a blog post published yesterday, the company’s team of data scientists announced that statistical evidence hints at budding relationships before the relationships start. 在昨天发布的一篇博文中，脸书网站的数据研究者们声称在开始一段恋情之前，社交网站的数据能体现出感情的萌芽。 As couples become couples, Facebook data scientist Carlos Diuk writes, the two people enter a period of courtship, during which timeline posts increase. After the couple makes it official, their posts on each others’ walls decrease—presumably because the happy two are spending more time together. 脸书网的数据科学家卡洛斯·迪艾克写道，在一对情侣成为恋人之前，两人会经历一段求爱期，这段时间内社交网站上的发帖数会上升。当两人的恋情公开之后，他们在对方时间轴上的发帖数会下降——也许是甜蜜的恋人花更多的时间呆在一起，而忘记了发帖。 You can see these data in the chart above. The number of wall posts climbs and climbs—until it tumbles when things become official. 你可以在上面的图表中看到中文所描述的趋势。恋情公开前发帖数一直在上升，之后则下跌不少。 Diuk also writes that, even though the number of wall posts goes down once the relationship starts, the wall posts becomes happier. |
