人人必讀的愛情經濟學(中英雙語)

　　AS my fine professor of economics at Columbia, C. Lowell Harriss （who just celebrated his 96th birthday） used to tell us, economics is the study of the allocation of scarce goods and services. What could be scarcer or more precious than love? It is rare, hard to come by and often fragile.

　　C．Lowell HarrissSkip 是我在哥倫比亞大學時的一位和善的經濟教授，他剛剛慶祝完自己96歲的生日。他曾經跟我們講，經濟學研究的就是如何分配稀缺的資源和服務。有什么比愛更稀有，更珍貴的嗎？愛的確很珍稀，難以獲取，并且很脆弱。

　　My primary life study has been about love. Second comes economics, so here, in the form of a few rules, is a little amalgam of the two fields: the economics of love. （I last wrote about this subject 20 years or so ago, and it's time to update it.）

　　我人生的第一課就是關于愛的學習，然后才是經濟學，因此，從一些規律的形式來講，就是兩個領域的結合，即愛的經濟學（我上次寫這方面的主題是大約20年以前，現在該對它進行更新了）。

　　In general, and with rare exceptions, the returns in love situations are roughly proportional to the amount of time and devotion invested. The amount of love you get from an investment in love is correlated, if only roughly, to the amount of yourself you invest in the relationship.

　　總地來說，幾乎絕少例外，愛的回報大致上與投入的時間和奉獻總量是成正比的。你獲得的愛與對愛的投入是相互關聯的，如果粗略來算，就是與你自己在這段關系中的投入總量相稱。

　　If you invest caring, patience and unselfishness, you get those things back. （This assumes, of course, that you are having a relationship with someone who loves you, and not a one-sided love affair with someone who isn't interested.）

　　如果你投入關心、耐心和無私奉獻，你也會被回報這些。（當然，這個假設，是建立在你與一個同樣愛你的人之間的關系上的，并不是一廂情愿的單相思。）

　　High-quality bonds consistently yield more return than junk, and so it is with high-quality love. As for the returns on bonds, I know that my comment will come as a surprise to people who have been brainwashed into thinking that junk bonds are free money. They aren't. The data from the maven of bond research, W. Braddock Hickman, shows that junk debt outperforms high quality only in rare situations, because of the default risk.

　　高質量的債券投資總會比垃圾債券獲得更多的收益，高質量的愛情亦如此。關于債
