你出生時的離婚率是多少?

Divorce stems from the Latin word "divertere," which means "to turn aside." Unfortunately, for most, it isn't quite that simple. Divorces can be a long, arduous process that takes months or even years. Crying children, legal fees, and bitter fights over silverware are the tropes that frequently come to mind when discussing divorce, and it's perhaps those stigmas that are contributing to an overall decrease in divorce rates in the 21st century.

離婚源於拉丁文"divertere"，意思是"轉變方向。"不幸的是，對於大多數人而言，離婚並沒有那麼簡單。離婚可能是一個漫長而艱難的過程，短則數月，長則幾年。哭泣的孩子、律師費和激烈爭吵銀器屬於誰都是人們通常想到的關於離婚的內容，也許這些特徵使得21世紀的離婚率有所下降。

It could also be that marriages are, generally, occurring later in life. In one study, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the chances of remaining married by the respondents 46th birthday were over 20% higher for couples who married between the ages of 29-34 compared to those who wed at ages 15-22, and studies show that the average age Americans tie the knot is steadily growing older and older. The gap narrows with closer age groups: 57.6% of couples who married at ages 23-28 were still together at their 46th birthday, compared to 65.2% for those aged 29-34.

也有可能是因爲大家結婚較晚所致。在一項研究中，勞工統計局顯示：與15至22歲就結婚的人相比，29至34歲之間結婚的人在結婚46週年時的離婚率要低20%。研究還表明：美國人結婚的平均年齡呈穩步增長的趨勢。年齡越相近，離婚率的差距也越小：23至28歲結婚的人中，57.6%的人在結婚46週年時仍在一起，而29至34歲結婚的人中，65.2%的人還在一起。

Although divorce rates are generally falling, a CBS poll conducted in 2014 revealed 64% of Americans felt the average American family is weaker than when they were a child. Oh joy.

雖然整體看來，離婚率正在下降，但2014年展開的CBS民意調查揭示：64%的美國人覺得，平均而言，他們的家庭已沒有孩童時代那般歡樂了。哦，快樂！

So what do the numbers say? Stacker compiled data from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) gathered by Randal Olson, as well as national marriage and divorce rates from 2000-2016 and Statista data about the national divorce rates from 1990-2016. The divorce rate was taken by dividing the overall population of the United States in a specific year by the number of divorces that occurred that year.

所以，數據表明了什麼？Stacker編纂了由Randal Olson收集的疾病預防控制中心全國衛生統計中心的數據，以及2000年至2016年全國結婚率與離婚率，和德國統計公司Statista關於1990至2016年全國離婚率的數據。離婚率是用特定年份的離婚數除以特定年份的美國總人口數所得。
