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.

离婚源于拉丁文"divertere"，意思是"转变方向。"不幸的是，对于大多数人而言，离婚并没有那么简单。离婚可能是一个漫长而艰难的过程，短则数月，长则几年。哭泣的孩子、律师费和激烈争吵银器属于谁都是人们通常想到的关于离婚的内容，也许这些特征使得21世纪的离婚率有所下降。
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.
也有可能是因为大家结婚较晚所致。在一项研究中，劳工统计局显示：与15至22岁就结婚的人相比，29至34岁之间结婚的人在结婚46周年时的离婚率要低20%。研究还表明：美国人结婚的平均年龄呈稳步增长的趋势。年龄越相近，离婚率的差距也越小：23至28岁结婚的人中，57.6%的人在结婚46周年时仍在一起，而29至34岁结婚的人中，65.2%的人还在一起。

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.

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，数据表明了什么？Stacker编纂了由Randal Olson收集的疾病预防控制中心全国卫生统计中心的数据，以及2000年至2016年全国结婚率与离婚率，和德国统计公司Statista关于1990至2016年全国离婚率的数据。离婚率是用特定年份的离婚数除以特定年份的美国总人口数所得。
