第一段
“HERE’S what nobody is telling you: Find a husband on campus before you graduate,”
wrote Susan Patton, a human-resources consultant, in 2013. In an infamous letter to the editor of Princeton’s student newspaper, Ms Patton warned
female students at the university that they will “never again be surrounded by this concentration of men who are worthy of
[them]”. Critics responded harshly. Ms
Patton recalls that she was branded “a
traitor to feminism, a traitor to co-education and an elitist”.

在2013，一个名叫Susan Patton 的人力资源顾问这样写:“没有人告诉你：在你毕业之前，要找到你的丈夫。”在写给普林斯顿学生报的编辑者的一封臭名昭著的信里，Patton 先生提醒大学女生,她们将不会在一次被配的上她们的男生所围绕。批评家作出了严厉回应。Patton女士标上了女权主义,混合教育和精英叛徒的标签。
第二段
Economists might offer yet another critique of Ms Patton’s letter: it was largely
unnecessary. It is clear to academics that
people tend to marry spouses with similar
levels of education. They also know that
“assortative mating”, as the practice is
called in the jargon, is exacerbating income inequality. In America, Britain, Denmark,
Germany and Norway, they have found
that household income would be more
evenly spread if couples were less keen to marry similar sorts

income inequality 收入不平等
翻译
经济学家可能也会对Potton的信提出另外的评论：这是非常不可能的.人们倾向于与自己有相同教育水平的人结婚，这在学术水平是明显的。她们也知道门当户对加剧了收入不平衡，门当户对的实施是一个行业术语。在美国，英国，丹麦，德国和挪威，他们发现如果人们没有那么渴望门当户对，家庭收入将会均匀分布。
