英國(guó)人都在愁些什么?
Britons spend five years of life worrying
Britons spend more than five years of their total life worrying, or 27 days a year, according to a survey.
一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，英國(guó)人一生中有五年多的時(shí)間(即一年有27天)在發(fā)愁。
The biggest cause for anxiety is personal health, followed by financial issues and crime, the findings of advice website ReallyWorried.com revealed.
ReallyWorried.com咨詢網(wǎng)站的此項(xiàng)調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，英國(guó)人最擔(dān)心的是個(gè)人健康問題，其次是經(jīng)濟(jì)和犯罪問題。
Young people in their late teens worried most, with 10 per cent spending 12 hours a day stressing, although perhaps surprisingly getting on the property ladder preoccupied them more than sex, their education or environmental fears.
調(diào)查顯示，十八九歲的年輕人最愛發(fā)愁，有10%的人一天12個(gè)小時(shí)都處于壓抑狀態(tài)。但令人驚訝的是，他們最擔(dān)憂的問題竟然是如何“致富”，然后才是性、教育和環(huán)境問題。
Women worry more about their partners having affairs while men worried more about sex, either a lack of it or their performance, according to the research based on a survey of 2,000 Britons.
這項(xiàng)對(duì)兩千人進(jìn)行的調(diào)查顯示，女性最擔(dān)心配偶會(huì)搞婚外戀，而男性則主要擔(dān)心性的問題，他們要么擔(dān)心性生活不夠，要么擔(dān)心自己在性生活中的表現(xiàn)。
"The research shows that most people in Britain are really worried, whether it's about something monumental like their partner is cheating on them or something relatively simple to sort out such as getting to grips with technology," said Richard Rubin, founder of ReallyWorried.com.
ReallyWorried.com網(wǎng)站的創(chuàng)辦者理查德?拉賓說，“調(diào)查表明，大部分英國(guó)人都很愛‘操心’。他們不是擔(dān)心伴侶背叛這種大問題，就是擔(dān)心如何緊跟科技這種小問題?！?BR> The survey's top 10 worry issues were:
