Let's remove those rose tinted glasses that romanticize love and take a look at soulmates in a more scientific light.
让我们抛开那些让爱变得浪漫的玫瑰色玻璃,从一种更科学的角度看看所谓的灵魂伴侣。
Dr. Helen Fisher who is a research professor of anthropology has studied human love for years.
海伦·费舍尔博士是一名人类学研究教授,从事人类爱的研究多年。
She's made groundbreaking discoveries about who people are as lovers and the love they seek as a result.
她对情侣和寻求爱的人进行了开创性研究。
There are four love types that she discovered:

the Explorer, the Builder, the Director and the negotiator.
探险家、建筑者、导演型以及谈判者。
Explorers are dominant in dopamine; builders are dominant in serotonin;
探险家在多巴胺中占据优势;建筑者在血清素中占据优势;
directors are dominant in testosterone and negotiators are dominant in estrogen.
导演型睾酮中占据优势、谈判者在雌性激素中占据优势。
Based on a chemical makeup, it also shows in our personality characteristics, habits and lifestyle preferences.
基于化学结构,其还显现于我们的人格特征、习惯以及生活方式的偏好之中。
Explorers are often associated with words like adventure, spontaneity and fun,

because their chemical makeup is predominantly dopamine,

When two explorers come together and sparks ignite with two bold hearts on fire

if they don't learn what patience is down the road, it is common for the two explorers to get in a head-on collision.
如果他们在爱之旅中没有学会耐心,通常这两名探险家会产生正面冲突。
This can result in messy breakups.
这可以导致混乱的分手。
Builders are often associated with words like family, honest and loyalty
建筑者通常和家庭、诚实和忠诚等词相连
because their chemical makeup is predominantly serotonin.
因为他们的化学结构以血清素为主导。
These people seek a helpful lover.

Serotonin generates caution because it suppresses dopamine levels,
血清素要引起警告,因为血清素会抑制多巴胺的水平,
therefore, builders are relaxed, social, steady and family and community oriented.
因此,建筑者是以轻松、社交、稳定、家庭以及社区为导向的。
They are natural networkers and respect rules and authority in society.
他们是天生的沟通者,他们尊重社会中的规则和权威。

to overcome in their relationships.
在情侣关系中去克服的障碍。
For instance, because builders can be set in their rules, schedules and traditions,

this is because directors lack the verbal and people reading skills

例如,导演型有工作狂倾向,可能会忽视陪伴谈判者和他们家人的黄金时间。
Negotiators are often associated with words like kindness, empathy and sensitivity

because their chemical makeup is predominantly estrogen, they seek a soul mate in their lover.
因为他们的化学结构是以雌性激素为主导,他们会找灵魂伴侣。
Negotiators are known to be the philosophers out of the love type group

Although these love types are more likely to be attracted to certain types of lovers over others,

the truth is that any love match can work, so long as the two members are mature enough
事实上任何匹配的爱都是有可能,只要两个人足够成熟
and willing to cooperate with one another and work with each other's differences.
并愿意和对方合作,弥补彼此偏差。
Despite the important research Dr. Helen Fisher conducted, we still know only a speck about love,
虽然有海伦·费舍尔博士引导,我们仍然对爱了解甚少,
it is still such an enigmatic concept that cannot be fully explained even in the utmost scientific way
爱仍然是科学方式所比无法完全解释的神秘概念
