Speaking at the British Science Festival in Birmingham, Professor Dunbar said: This was a surprise for us. We hadn t expected it.

　　在伯明翰举行的英国科学节上，邓巴说：研究结果令人意外，我们从未料想过。

　　If you don t see people, your emotional engagement with them drops off and does so quickly. What I suspect is that your attention is so wholly focused on the romantic partner you don t get to see the other folks you had a lot to do with before, and so some of those relationships start to deteriorate.

　　如果你不和朋友见面，你和他们的情感联系就会淡化，而且会淡化地非常之快。而我认为你把所有的注意力都放在恋人身上，以至于见不到以前经常在一起的朋友，那么你和他们的关系就开始疏远了。

　　The questionnaire allowed people to mention whether any of their closest confidants were extra romantic partners . In all, 32 of those quizzed mentioned having an extra love interest in their life, but these people did not lose four friends as might be expected. Instead, the extra person in their life bumped their original romantic partner out of their innermost circle of friends.

　　这份网络问卷允许被调查者填写他们的密友中是否包括他们的恋人。一共有32个人提到他们的恋人是生活中的密友，但是这些人并没有像预料的那样失去四个朋友，相反，新的恋人会将之前的恋人挤出他们的朋友圈子。
