多數美國人是浪漫主義者 離不開網絡

Most Americans have never lied about their age, would find it easier to live without air travel than the Internet and in matters of the heart are romantics, according to a new survey.

一項新調查發現，大多數美國人從不謊報自己的年齡，認爲可以不乘飛機旅行，但不能離開網絡，而且多數美國人在感情方面都是浪漫主義者。

Nearly half of the 848 adults questioned in the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll also said they think Islam is as peaceful as most other religions and 81 percent think the ache of a broken heart is similar to physical pain.

這項調查是由電視新聞節目《60分鐘》和《名利場》雜誌聯合進行的。接受調查的848名成人中，有近一半的人稱他們認爲伊斯蘭教和大多數其他宗教一樣崇尚和平，81%的人認爲心碎的痛苦和身體上的痛苦是相似的。

"It appears that the vast majority of Americans are romantics," CBS said on its website. "As Shakespeare said 'the course of true love never runs smooth' and so it appears that most people can empathizewith both the joys of a full heart and the pain of a broken one."

哥倫比亞廣播公司在網站上說：“絕大多數美國人似乎都是浪漫主義者。就像莎士比亞說的，‘真愛的道路絕不平坦’，看起來大多數人都能夠理解得到愛情的喜悅和爲愛心碎的痛苦。”

Nearly 9 out of 10 women and three-quarters of men agreed with the sentiment, the poll, which questioned Americans about topics ranging from religion and politics to celebrities and sports, showed.

調查顯示，十分之九的女性和四分之三的男性對這些情緒表示認同。這一面向美國人的調查涵蓋了宗教、政治、名人、體育等各種話題。

Seventy three percent said they have never lied about their age and if it came down to a choice between flying and the Internet, 61 percent said it would be easier to live without air travel, compared to 32 percent who would give up the Internet.

73%的美國人說他們從來沒有謊報過自己的年齡。如果讓他們在乘飛機旅行和網絡中選擇一樣，61%的人說他們會放棄乘飛機旅行，只有32%的人說自己會放棄上網。

The poll also covered pop-culture topics such as whether or not hard-living Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards or Hollywood bad-girl Lindsay Lohan would outliveactor and recent tabloidking Charlie Sheen.

調查還涵蓋了和流行文化相關的話題，例如生活糜爛的滾石樂隊吉他手基斯 理查茲或好萊塢壞女孩林賽 羅韓是否會比最近小報頭條的熱門人物、演員查理 辛活得更久。

Thirty three percent thought rock legend Richards would live the longest, followed by frequent rehabresident Lohan at 21 percent and Sheen at 16 percent.

33%的人認爲滾石樂隊的傳奇人物理查茲會活得最久，21%的人認爲經常進戒毒所的林賽 羅韓會活得最久，還有16%的人認爲查理 辛會活得最久。
