世界哪个国家看电视时间最多？

The average person in the United States watches almost five hours of television a day, more than an hour greater than the average of people in the world's biggest economies, new research says.

新研究指出，美国平均每人每天看近五个小时电视，比世界经济大国民众看电视的平均时间多一个小时。

2015's International Communications Market report, an annual survey by the UK's telecoms regulator Ofcom, said the average American watches 282 minutes of broadcast television a day - or four hours and 42 minutes.

英国通信管理局进行的2015年国际通信市场年度调查报告显示，美国人平均每天看282分钟电视——即4小时42分钟。

In comparison, the average Brit watches three hours and 40 minutes of TV - one minute below the average.

相比之下，英国平均每人每天看电视的时间是3小时40分钟——比世界平均时间少1分钟。

However, the figures include only live television and recorded programmes, not catch-up television or recorded media - which Ofcom said the UK leads the world in.

然而，该数据只包括电视直播和录制节目，不包括网络电视和纪录片——英国通信管理局称英国在这两方面的观看时长居世界之首。

The UK saw the greatest decline in linear TV viewing last year, down 4.9 percent, but Ofcom said the UK appears to be "the most technologically-advanced of European nations".

去年英国有线电视收看下降4.9个百分点，是下降最多的国家。但英国通信管理局说英国似乎是“拥有最先进技术的欧洲国家”。

81 percent of Brits have used an online service to watch TV or films, such as Netflix or BBC iPlayer, in the last month, while 16 percent have watched catch-up TV on a tablet. Both were ahead of any other country in the group of the world's biggest economies.

上个月，81%的英国人用在线设备看电视节目或者电影，比如用网飞和BBC iPlayer应用软件，16%的人用平板看网络电视。在世界最大经济体中，这都领先于其他任何国家。

42 percent of UK households own a TV connected to the internet, more than any country except Spain.

42%的英国家庭有一台连接互联网的电视，仅次于西班牙，排名世界第二位。

In comparison, the US's broadcast TV viewing per day declined by 3.8 percent last year, and France's declined by 2.2 percent.

相比之下，去年美国广播电视收视率下降3.8个百分点，法国下降2.2个百分点。

Of the 15 countries included in the survey, Sweden, China, Korea, the Netherlands and Australia watch less linear TV a day, compared to the UK.

在包括瑞典、中国、韩国、荷兰和澳大利亚的15个调研国家中，他们看电视的时长都比英国少。
