Christmas jumpers, diet books and plastic surgery vouchers are among the least wanted festive gifts – but four in ten will fake joy when receiving them, a survey has found.
调查发现,圣诞毛衣、减肥书和整形手术券是最不招人待见的圣诞礼物——但是五分之二的人收到这种礼物时会假装喜欢。
On average, we receive eight Christmas presents and hate two of them, even though they are worth £87.
平均而言,如果我们收到八份圣诞礼物,其中有两份我们都不会喜欢,即使它们价值高达87英镑(约841元人民币)。
Nationwide, that means a total of £4.4billion is wasted on 104million unwanted gifts. Men most dread receiving gaudy ties, ridiculous Christmas jumpers and cartoon socks.
那也就意味着,全英国浪费在对方不想要的礼物上的资金高达44亿英镑(约425亿人民币)。男性最怕收到的礼物是花哨的领带、可笑的圣诞毛衣和卡通袜子。
Topping women’s list of unwanted presents are diet books, tacky ornaments and plastic surgery vouchers.
女性最不想要的圣诞礼物排行居首的是减肥书、俗气的圣诞装饰品和整形手术券。
A quarter of the 2,000 adults surveyed admitted buying gifts they know the recipient will dislike.
受访的2000名成年人中,有四分之一的人承认自己知道他们买的是对方不喜欢的礼物。
The poll, which was carried out by lastminute.com, also revealed that what men and women most want is cash to spend on themselves, while 18 per cent would like a beach holiday.
旅游网lastminute.com开展的这一调查还表明,人们最想收到的礼物是可以自己支配的现金。18%的人希望能有个沙滩假日。
