Summer is coming which means it's time to dust off your swimsuit and hit the pool or seaside.
夏天到了,这意味着你该擦擦泳衣上的灰尘,去泳池或海边了。
But before you squeeze into your outfit, men in particular may want to think twice about their choice: according to a new survey, tight swimming shorts are the most hated item of clothing in the UK.
但在你穿上你的衣服之前,男士们可能需要仔细考虑一下他们的选择:根据一项最新调查,紧身泳裤在英国是最令人讨厌的衣服。
Yes, the trunks - also known as Speedos or “budgie-smugglers” - may be beloved of professional swimmers and divers, but everyday Brits clearly aren't fans.
是的,这些泳裤——也被称为speedo或“budgie-走私者”——虽然可能会受到专业游泳者和潜水者的喜爱,但很显然,英国人不喜欢。
The study by YouGov found that 74 per cent of women dislike the tight trunks, and only 13 per cent of the 3,277 people asked said they liked them.
YouGov的研究发现,74%的女性不喜欢紧身泳裤,3277人中只有13%的女性表示喜欢紧身泳裤。
Of course for professional athletes, wearing Speedos is a practical rather than aesthetic choice - they were originally designed in the 1960s to reduce drag and provide freedom of movement.
当然,对于职业运动员来说,穿speedo泳裤是一种实用而非审美的选择——它们最初是在上世纪60年代设计的,目的是为了减少阻力并能够自由移动。
Of course, no one should be shamed for what they wear, but it would seem you may not win approval from your fellow sunbathers should you don the tiny trunks.
当然,没有人应该因为他们的穿着而感到羞愧,但是,如果你穿上那些小的泳裤,你可能不会得到其他日光浴者的认可。
Here are the most-hated items of clothing in the UK and the percentage of people who dislike them:
