雅典人愛調情 當選世界"最輕浮城市"
The home of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle is the "most flirtatious city" of the modern world, a new study showed on Monday.
蘇格拉底、柏拉圖和亞里士多德的故鄉雅典當選爲現代世界中的“最輕浮城市”。
Athens topped a "World Flirtation League," which ranked cities by the number of online flirtations initiated per month by the average user in each on online social networking site.
雅典名列“世界輕浮城市”之首，這些“輕浮城市”是在線社交網站根據每個城市的用戶平均每月發起的在線調情次數來排名的。
Moscow came second, while Rome placed 8th and Madrid 31st, Paris 38th, London 57th, Berlin 79th, and New York 89th in the study of nearly 200 cities across the world in which Badoo analyzed 12 million flirtatious contacts made during a month, with 108 million users chatting and flirting in 180 countries.
網站對全世界180個國家的1.08億網絡用戶1個月內的網上聊天記錄進行了研究，分析了其中1200萬條調情對話，並籍此對全球200座城市進行排名。在榜單中，莫斯科排第二，羅馬第八，馬德里排第31位，巴黎38位，倫敦第57位，柏林第79位，紐約第89位。
The Lonely Planet Encounter Guide to Athens author Victoria Kyriakopoulous said the results are hardly surprising as the Greek capital is a seductive city, with a hedonisticlifestyle.
《孤獨星球旅行指南：雅典篇》一書的作者維多利亞 凱莉科坡露斯說，這個結果並不令人感到意外，因爲作爲希臘首都，雅典一直都是一座很誘人的城市，這兒的人們奉行快樂主義的生活方式。
"Athenians love to party and they love to talk," she said. "Flirting and sexual banterare not just a means to an end but part of social interaction."
她說：“雅典人喜歡聚會，也愛好交談。調情和黃色玩笑並不是達到目的的一種手段，而是社會交際的一部分。”
She said the internet is just a new means to the age-old dance of attraction and love.
她說以前人們通過跳舞來展現魅力，表達愛意，而網絡只不過是一種新的“調情”媒介。
"Old people flirt, married people flirt, now young people are simply using technology to do what Athenians have always done."
“老人會調情，已婚之人會調情，現在的年輕人只不過使用新科技做了雅典人常做的事情而已。”
The average Badoo user in Athens initiated 25.7 online flirtations per month -- over twice as many as in Rio (12.4) Warsaw (12.1) or Prague (12.6) and far more than in Paris (20.7), London (19.0), Berlin (17.7) or New York (16.1).
在雅典，平均每個Badoo用戶每月發起25.7次網上調情——是里約（12.4次）、華沙（12.1次）和布拉格（12.6次）的兩倍多；遠超過巴黎（20.7次）、倫敦（19.0次）和紐約（16.1次）的調情次數。
