导读:据美国最近一项研究表示称，女性并不介意被忠诚于自己的爱人“物化”，但是那些怀疑对象忠诚的女人则截然相反。
Women like being seen as sex objects – but only by men who love them, a study has found.
据一项最新研究显示，女性喜欢被视作“泄欲工具”——但是仅限于爱她们的人。
The notion that women like to be ‘objectified’ – meaning valued only for their physical attributes – is usually frowned upon.
女性喜欢被“物化”这个说法通常让人很反感（“物化”指仅以女性的身体来评判她们）。
But as long as a woman is sure that a man is committed to her, she is happy to be esteemed for her sexuality, according to researchers.
但是据研究人员们表示称，只要一个女人确信男人钟情于她，她就很乐意被视作对方性欲的发泄对象。
Yet if the woman has the slightest doubt about her man’s feelings for her, she is likely to find his lust a turn-off.
但是如果这个女人对男人的感情有丝毫怀疑，她就可能会因为对方的欲望而浑身难受了。
The psychologists came to their conclusions after asking newlywed husbands how much they valued their wives – from a sexual point of view.
心理学家们询问了新婚丈夫如何珍爱自己妻子——从性的角度，然后他们得出了结论。
The wives were asked how committed they believed their husbands were to the marriage.
妻子们则被问到她们认为自己的丈夫对婚姻到底有多忠诚。
Both sexes were asked how happy they were in their relationship. All gave their answers in secret.
双方都被问及对自己的关系有多满意。所有人都秘密地给出了自己的答案。
The results showed that women who felt they had committed husbands were far more likely to appreciate being valued for their sexuality.
结果显示，那些觉得自己丈夫忠诚无比的女人更乐意因其能满足对方性欲而受到珍视。
But that was not the case for wives who felt their husbands might consider other women.
但是对于那些认为自己丈夫在想着其他女人的妻子们来说，情况就大大不同了。
Dr Andrea Meltzer, of Florida State University, said: ‘Being sexually valued by a highly committed partner may positively influence women’s relationship satisfaction.’
来自佛罗里达州立大学的安德里亚.梅尔泽博士表示称：“被一个忠诚无比的对象视作性欲工具，可能会对女性的关系满意度产生积极的影响。”
