For Mel and Joey Schwanke, their 65-year marriage is a match made in the closet.
梅爾和喬伊這對美國夫婦已經攜手走過65個年頭,真可謂是天作之合。

The couple from a small city outside Omaha, Nebraska, has 146 custom-made, matching outfits. And they never leave the house unless they are dressed in the same 's one thing that has helped keep them so close through six and a half decades working side-by-side at a flower shop they own in Fremont.
這對來自美國的內布拉斯加州小城奧馬哈的夫妻有着146套特別訂製的情侶裝。每次外出他們必將穿上情侶裝。他們在一起共同生活了65年,在弗利蒙經營着一家小花店,情侶裝是讓愛情保鮮的重要原因。

Mel's tie, and often his jacket, are cut from the same cloth at Joey's dresses. The outfits are usual floral-themed, a reference to their business.
梅爾的領帶和夾克衫通常和喬伊的裙子來自同一塊布料。爲了配合他們的花店工作,情侶裝一般都是以花爲主題

'We don't dare go somewhere without having matching outfits,' Mr Schwanke told KETV.
梅爾告訴KETV:“我們無法想象,不穿情侶裝怎麼能出門?”

They haven't always dressed the same. It started about 35 years ago when the couple went on vacation. After that, it became a habit. Perhaps even an obsession.
他們並不是一開始就穿情侶裝的,是在35年前一次外出度假,便習慣上了穿情侶裝。也許從那以後他們就着迷了。

They they built their house, they had a custom closet installed, just to hold and organize all of their outfits. And they have so many, it's hard to keep them straight, Mrs Schwanke admits.
接着他們就蓋了自己的房子,他們家裏安裝了套裝的衣櫃便於放置和管理所有的情侶裝。他們的情侶裝太多了,喬伊說根本很難把它們掛整齊。

'Every day. Every day, my tie matches her dress,' Mr Schwanke said.
梅爾說:“我們每天都穿情侶裝。每一天,我的領帶和她的裙子都是相配的。”

The other secret to their long-lasting happy marriage is their clear division of power, they explained to KETV. 'We kind of decided early in the game that he would be boss from 8 to 5, and I would be boss from 5 to 8 the next morning,' Mrs Schwanke said.
他們向KETV提到了另一個婚姻保鮮的祕訣是對權利的明確分工。“我們一開始就定好規矩:從早上八點到下午5點,他是老闆;之後老闆就是我。” 身爲妻子的喬伊這樣說道。

Perhaps this is the reason she's usually the one who picks the outfit that the couple will be wearing the next day.
也許這就是爲什麼每次都是由喬伊來選擇他們出門時該穿哪套情侶裝的原因。
