“七年之痒”是个舶来词,意思是说许多事情发展到第七年就会不以人的意志出现一些问题,婚姻当然也不例外。结婚久了,新鲜感丧失。从充满浪漫的恋爱到实实在在的婚姻,在平淡的朝夕相处中,彼此太熟悉了,恋爱时掩饰的缺点或双方在理念上的不同此时都已经充分地暴露出来。于是,情感的“疲惫”或厌倦使婚姻进入了“瓶颈”,如果无法选择有效的方法通过这一“瓶颈”,婚姻就会终结。那么,七年之痒英文怎么说呢?

Realize What is“the seven year itch”
认识什么是七年之痒
In short it is a relationship term—usually after 7 years people tend to re-evaluate their relationship. There might be evidence that it is now much shorter but the original number 7 came from a time period where the average marriage only lasted 7 years.
There is also speculation that this might be a real itch related to skin condition, insects, or STDs.
All along you saw signs but you ignore them or you were too busy to act on them, and after seven years you finally realized what you missed and try to change it.
Supposedly, after being married for seven years or just being with someone for that long, you start looking at other options. Hence you have an itch to scratch. In layman’s terms, one is expected to leave/cheat at this time.
A recent question on Hollywood sq. showed that statistics reveal the average marriage in North America lasts 7 years. Maybe that’s where it comes from, mine this year is 32 (where did we go wrong).
The seven year itch statistic refers to the number of years together when the most divorces happen. So the first person was right. The seven-year itch refers to the itch to break up. According to the US Census Bureau, this statistic has slowly inched toward 8 years. So now we have an 8-year itch to scratch. According to most researchers, divorce statistics are the most abused. One of the reasons why we have an increase in divorce statistics is not shorter relationships, but longer lives. Another reason is because divorce statistics never measure abandonment. For example, divorces were low during the Great Depression, the 1930s, because it was cheaper and easier to simply leave. So it shows a decrease in divorces because they don’t measure abandonment’s. Ideally, we would study “relationships” and include marriages, and we would study “relationship endings”, not just divorces.
七年之痒,意思是说许多事情发展到第七年就会不以人的意志出现一些问题,婚姻当然也不例外。所以现在“七年之庠”一般是指人们婚姻到了第七年可能会因婚姻生活的平淡规律而感到无聊乏味,要经历一次危机的考验(指可能发生婚外情、外遇、偷腥的现象)。这个考验是感情中的转折点,一旦成功,感情便能朝向良性健康的方向发展;反之,则可能二人分道扬镳、分崩离析。
