Most singles have deal breakers when evaluating whether or not someone is their future Mr. or Mrs. Right.
在判定一個人是不是未來伴侶的時候，大多數單身人士都有自己的一套擇偶標準。

Researchers have now complied a list of the top deal breakers in order to determine what effects age and gender have on deciding which qualities are seen as deal breakers for different people.
如今，研究人員已經列出一份最能導致分手的異性特征列表，目的是研究對不同性別和年齡段的人來說，哪些異性特質會讓他們結束一段戀情。

They found that women have more deal breakers than men, but there were more similarities than differences between the sexes when asked to list what they deemed as a turnoff.
研究人員發現女性無法接受的異性特征比男性要多，但在這些異性特征中，相似點多于不同點。

The list includes: unattractiveness, unhealthy lifestyle, undesirable personality traits, differing religious beliefs, limited social status, differing mating strategies and differing relationship goals.
七大導致分手的特質包括：魅力不夠、生活方式不健康、有不良癖好、宗教信仰不同、社會地位低下、交往策略不同、情感追求不同。

The team also found that even though singles look for positive traits when evaluating a mate, they tend to subconsciously sniff out undesirable ones because of their deal breakers.
研究團隊還發現，即使單身人士在尋找伴侶時往往會關注優點，但由于受到內心的擇偶禁忌影響，他們會下意識地排除掉不合適的異性。

The studies examined for creating the top seven deal breakers revealed that those who believe they are a good catch have more deal breakers and everyone has their own list if they are looking for a serious, long-term relationship, reports The Wall Street Journal.
華爾街日報報道，提出七大分手特質的研究表明，認為自己是理想伴侶的人有更加嚴格的擇偶要求，并且，若是打算正式談一場長期戀愛時，每個人心中都有一套自己的擇偶標準。

In one of the studies, 5,541 singles were given a list 17 negative personality traits and asked if they viewed each one as a deal breaker for a long-term relationship.
其中一項研究對5541名單身人士進行了調查，調查期間給這些單身人士列出了17個異性缺點，同時還詢問這些人是否會因這些缺點結束一段長期戀情。

The top deal breakers for both women and men were 'disheveled' or 'unclean,' followed by 'lazy' and 'too needy'.
男性和女性最無法接受的是伴侶“衣冠不整”或“邋里邋遢”，其次是“懶惰”和“太窮”。

Women see 'lacks sense of humor' a very serious negative trait and won't even peruse the relationship, mainly because humor has been linked to intelligence.
女性認為“缺少幽默感”是一個很大的缺點，她們甚至不會考慮繼續這段關系，這主要是因為在很大程度上，幽默感與智慧聯系在一起。

A separate study, found that men prefer not to date women who are smarter than they are and that 'low sex drive' and talks too much' are among their biggest deal breakers.
一項獨立研究發現，男性不愿同比自己聰明的女性約會，同樣，“性冷淡”和“話癆”也是約會成功的頭號殺手。

Another study asked 92 participants to list their biggest deal breakers when looking for both long-term and short-term partners, which produced extremely different results.
另有研究讓92名參與者列出在尋求長期或短期伴侶中最不欣賞的異性特質，最終發現，針對二者的答案有很大差異。

In long-term partners the top deal breakers were 'anger issues', 'is dating multiple partners' and 'dishonesty'.
在尋求長期伴侶的過程中，最不欣賞的異性特質有：“情緒問題”、“腳踩兩只船”和“不誠實”。

For short-term relationships, participants ranked 'has health issues, such as STDs,' 'smells bad' and 'has poor hygiene' at the top.
而對于短期感情關系，參與者更注重“健康問題，比如有沒有性傳播疾病”、“體臭”以及“不講衛生”。
