Therefore, the nearly 20 million men in rural areas who remain unmarried despite crossing their 30s have little to do with the gender imbalance at birth. The problems they face in getting a wife, too, vary from region to region.

因此，现在造成近二百万的农村大龄未婚男子出现的原因跟男女比例失衡关系不大。他们面临的找媳妇问题是因地而异的。

One thing is certain, the causes behind the serious problem of "leftover men" are complicated and abnormal. About 30 percent of them couldn't get married at the socially accepted marriageable age because of physiological or psychological defects, with another 30 percent having failed because they kept waiting for their "dream partners".

有一点可以确定的是，引发如此严重“剩男危机”的原因是复杂和不寻常的。他们当中，有30%的人没能在正常年龄结婚是因为存在生理或心理方面的缺陷，另外还有30%的人是在等待自己的梦中情人的出现。

Only 10 percent or so of the "leftover men" failed to find a wife because of their "background"－which mostly happened before the mid-1980s for certain historical reasons. The highest percentage of "leftover men"－almost 60 percent－couldn't get married because they couldn't afford to pay the dowry for a bride.

只有大约10%的男性是由于八十年代中期的历史因素未能结婚的。而由于担负不起高额的嫁妆而不能结婚的“剩男”最多，占总数的60%。
