從圣誕禮物窺見TA對(duì)你的感情
What Christmas presents really say about your relationship
They say a picture paints a thousand words – and the same applies to gifts. As you shop for Christmas presents for your partner, unconscious feelings and motivations drive your choices.
俗話說,一幅畫勝過千言萬語(yǔ).禮物亦然.你為另一半挑選的圣誕禮物,暴露了你潛意識(shí)下的選擇.
That means the gift you receive gives you clues about what your partner's thinking.
同樣,當(dāng)TA送你禮物時(shí),你也多少能讀出對(duì)方的內(nèi)心.
One study which looked at present giving between partners over a 10-year period of their relationship, showed that in the first few years the gifts were rated as being highly in tune with what the receiver actually wanted. Sadly for many couples, the longer they were together, the less meaningful gifts became.
一項(xiàng)針對(duì)伴侶間10年來互送禮物的研究顯示,最初幾年,雙方均對(duì)收到的禮物贊不絕口.然而,日子過久了,送禮的心意也淡了.
Whether you're a new couple or an established one, presents are one part of the puzzle to your emotional connection. So if you find one of these favourites under the Christmas tree here is what it reveals:
不管你和TA是新婚鴛鴦,還是老夫老妻,一談到送禮與感情,多半是一頭霧水.如果圣誕節(jié)你也收到以下禮物,這就是它揭示的情感密碼：
Expensive, sophisticated jewellery like an elegant pearl or diamond pendant
昂貴精美的珠寶,比如一串優(yōu)雅的珍珠或鉆石掛飾
This partner reveals a very traditional and quite serious side to their personality. They take you seriously and it's unlikely you ever feel neglected. You probably find they're steady and responsible by nature.
收到此禮,說明對(duì)方觀念傳統(tǒng),生性嚴(yán)謹(jǐn).TA很重視這段感情,因此你無需擔(dān)心遭到冷落.這樣的人,生性穩(wěn)重,做事負(fù)責(zé).
They think carefully about investing their time and energy. They've thought carefully about you and they want to invest that time and energy. They might expect you both to fulfil traditional roles – so be aware of this if you have a non-traditional streak.
在決定在一個(gè)人身上投入時(shí)間和精力之前他們都會(huì)思慮再三.他們已經(jīng)對(duì)你進(jìn)行了仔細(xì)考察,并愿意在你身上傾注大量的時(shí)間與精力.不過,TA所期待的也是一場(chǎng)傳統(tǒng)的二人關(guān)系,所以,可別把你心中的"小怪獸"放出來喲.
