Another study by an American psychology professor, Julianne Holt-Lunstad, showed that support between couples reduces stress. One important way that people express this support, researchers say, is through "non-sexual, caring physical touch, such as hand-holding".
美国心理学教授Julianne Holt-Lunstad的另一项调查发现,恋人间的支持能够减轻压力。研究人员称,人们表达支持的一个重要方式是“非性的饱含关怀的肢体接触,例如牵手”。
Subtle shows of affection may be increasingly rare in our frenzied world. However, if the statesmen can teach us anything perhaps it's that a little handholding wouldn't go amiss.
在如今这个狂乱的世界,细微的表达爱意的举动或许会越发罕见。但是,如果政治家们可以教会我们一些事情的话,那或许就是偶尔牵牵手还是不错的。
