社交媒體成新型婚姻殺手

Facebook and Twitter have become a significant threat to marriage – with social media now a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases, say lawyers.
律師稱，在越來(lái)越多的離婚案件中，臉書(shū)和推特等社交媒體已成為嚴(yán)重威脅婚姻存續(xù)的一個(gè)因素。

One in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s postings of Facebook or other online sites, according to research.
根據(jù)研究，七分之一的已婚人士曾因配偶發(fā)在臉書(shū)或其他網(wǎng)站上的帖子考慮過(guò)離婚。

A similar proportion admit that they search online for evidence of their partner’s infidelity, while nearly one in five say they have daily rows because of the way their husband or wife uses social media.
類似比例的人承認(rèn)，他們?cè)诰W(wǎng)上尋找伴侶不忠的證據(jù)；近五分之一的人表示，夫妻二人每天都會(huì)因?yàn)楸舜嗽谏缃幻襟w上的所作所為而吵架。

The research was commissioned by law firm Slater and Gordon in response to an increase in the number of its clients who said that Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter, What’sApp or other social media sites had played a part in their divorce.
該研究是由“斯萊特和戈登”律師事務(wù)所委托相關(guān)機(jī)構(gòu)做出的?！八谷R特和戈登”發(fā)現(xiàn)越來(lái)越多的客戶聲稱，他們之所以離婚，與臉書(shū)、Skype（網(wǎng)絡(luò)電話）、Snapchat（照片分享應(yīng)用）、推特和What’sApp（移動(dòng)消息應(yīng)用）等社交媒體有很大關(guān)系，于是該律所發(fā)起了這個(gè)調(diào)查。

Andrew Newbury, of Slater and Gordon, said: ‘Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become commonplace.
“斯萊特和戈登”律所的安德魯·紐伯里說(shuō)：“五年前，婚姻破裂的原因中幾乎不會(huì)提到臉書(shū)，現(xiàn)在臉書(shū)已經(jīng)變成司空見(jiàn)慣的理由了?！?/p>

‘Social media is the new marriage minefield. Social media, specifically pictures and posts on Facebook, are now being routinely raised in divorces.’
“社交媒體成為新的婚姻雷區(qū)。社交媒體，尤其是臉書(shū)上的圖片和帖子，現(xiàn)在經(jīng)常在離婚案件中被提起。”

The survey by Censuswide among 2,011 husbands and wives, found the most common reasons for checking their spouse’s social media accounts was to discover who they were talking to, who they were meeting and where they were going.
Censuswide對(duì)2011位丈夫和妻子進(jìn)行了該項(xiàng)調(diào)查，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們會(huì)查看配偶的社交賬號(hào)，主要是想看看他/她到底常跟誰(shuí)聊天、最近在見(jiàn)誰(shuí)以及外出時(shí)都去了哪兒。

A quarter of the married people said the resulting suspicions led to rows at least once a week, and 17 per cent said such rows were daily events.
四分之一的已婚人士表示，這種懷疑產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果就是兩人每周都要至少吵一次架，而17%的人每天都會(huì)因此跟配偶吵起來(lái)。

Arguments were provoked by contact with former partners, by the sending of secret messages, and by the posting of ‘inappropriate’ pictures.
暗地里跟前任聯(lián)系、發(fā)布“不合適的”照片等都可能引發(fā)爭(zhēng)吵。

Some 14 per cent said they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific intention of detecting evidence of adultery.
14%的人表示，他們抱著發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)方出軌證據(jù)的目的去瀏覽他們的社交賬戶。

A fifth said they felt uneasy about their relationship after discovering something on their partner’s Facebook account and a third said they kept social media log-in details secret from partners.
五分之一的人說(shuō)，當(dāng)在配偶的臉書(shū)上發(fā)現(xiàn)了蛛絲馬跡后，他們會(huì)對(duì)自己的婚姻感到不安。三分之一的人透露，自己的社交媒體登錄信息對(duì)另一半保密。
