Modern couples are falling in love in just half the time as their parents' generation, with it now taking just 224 tweets and 163 text messages to woo partners, new research suggests. 現(xiàn)代情侶墜入愛河的時(shí)間，比他們的父輩縮短了一半。根據(jù)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，只要發(fā)224條推特和163條短信，現(xiàn)代人就能發(fā)展成情侶。

Twitter is now the most common way to secure a new partner and the ‘three day rule’ for calling a date back has been abandoned for a few hours。推特現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成了勾搭新伴侶最普通的方式，從前的“三天法則”——即在跟對(duì)方約會(huì)后至少過三天再聯(lián)系對(duì)方——也已經(jīng)被拋棄，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)縮短到了幾小時(shí)。

A study found modern technology is speeding things up for couples who now rely on social media and texting to secure a relationship, rather than old fashioned methods of their parents' generation which took twice as long。這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，對(duì)那些依靠社交媒體和發(fā)短信的方式發(fā)展關(guān)系的情侶來(lái)說(shuō)，現(xiàn)代科技讓一切加速。而他們的父輩的方式更老套，花的時(shí)間也要多一倍。

Couples aged 55 and over said on average their courting process took more than two and a half months (78 days) whereas for those under the age of 25 it takes just under one month (24 days) for them to refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend, according to the study by PIXmania。根據(jù)PIXmania的這項(xiàng)研究，55歲及以上的情侶表示，他們的求偶過程一般需要花兩個(gè)半月的時(shí)間(78天)，而那些年紀(jì)在25歲以下的年輕人則可以在一個(gè)月內(nèi)(24天)就確定關(guān)系，稱呼對(duì)方為男女朋友。

Instead of obeying the ‘three day rule’ to contact a date, the research revealed 68 per cent of people said they were now happy to communicate with their new love interest within four hours of a first date。研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，68%的人已經(jīng)放棄了聯(lián)系約會(huì)對(duì)象的“三天法則”，現(xiàn)在的人們很樂意在第一次約會(huì)后的四個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)聯(lián)系他們的新戀愛對(duì)象。

It also found it now takes couples an average of 224 tweets, 163 text messages, 70 Facebook messages, 37 emails and 30 phone calls to fall head over heels in love. 研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)在的情侶平均只需要224條推特、163條短消息、70個(gè)臉書消息、37封郵件和30個(gè)電話，就能陷入熱戀中。
