离婚后男人比女人更痛苦 A recent survey highlighted the fact that women tend to fare much better than men after divorce. 近日的一项调查突显了一个事实，就是离婚后女人通常比男人好过得多。 The survey revealed that men suffer far more in emotional terms than women — and are much more likely to let themselves go and not eat properly. 调查揭示，男性在情感上比女性遭受的痛苦要大得多，而且男性更可能自暴自弃和胡乱进食。 In the year after divorce,48 percent of men describe themselves as feeling very lonely, compared with just 35 percent of women. 在离婚后的日子里，48%的男性称自己感到“十分孤独”，相比之下，只有35%的女性是这样。 Men often bear the financial brunt of divorce,too,finding themselves supporting the family they have left behind and somehow having to finance a new roof over their own head, too.
