英国人都在愁些什么?
Britons spend five years of life worrying


What are Britons worrying?

Britons spend more than five years of their total life worrying, or 27 days a year, according to a survey.

The biggest cause for anxiety is personal health, followed by financial issues and crime, the findings of advice website ReallyWorried.com revealed.

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.

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.

"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.

The survey's top 10 worry issues were:

1. Personal health

2. Outgoings & income

3. Crime

4. Cost of living

5. Terrorism

6. My children's future

7. National Health Service

8. Gun/knife culture

9. Global warming

10. Pensions

 

一项调查显示,英国人一生中有五年多的时间(即一年有27天)在发愁。

ReallyWorried.com咨询网站的此项调查结果显示,英国人最担心的是个人健康问题,其次是经济和犯罪问题。

调查显示,十八九岁的年轻人最爱发愁,有10%的人一天12个小时都处于压抑状态。但令人惊讶的是,他们最担忧的问题竟然是如何“致富”,然后才是性、教育和环境问题。

这项对两千人进行的调查显示,女性最担心配偶会搞婚外恋,而男性则主要担心性的问题,他们要么担心性生活不够,要么担心自己在性生活中的表现。

ReallyWorried.com网站的创办者理查德·拉宾说,“调查表明,大部分英国人都很爱‘操心’。他们不是担心伴侣背叛这种大问题,就是担心如何紧跟科技这种小问题。”

英国人担心的十大问题:
1.个人健康
2.个人财务状况
3.犯罪问题
4.生活费用
5.恐怖主义
6.子女前途
7.国民医疗服务
8.“刀枪”文化
9.全球变暖
10.养老金问题
