发财后:女人想要别墅 男人想要飞机

2011-06-30来源:国际在线
  AA holiday home in Tuscany, a Tiffany diamond ring and a personal trainer might seem like every woman's dream but when it comes to spending a fortune, men's ideas are somewhat different. The findings emerged from a poll of 3,000 people by EuroMillions which asked: 'What would you buy if you won the jackpot?'

  Top of the men's list was a Manhattan penthouse apartment, an ?97,000 Aston Martin Vantage 8, and an iPhone 5.

  如果,我说的是如果有朝一日您赢得了亿元彩票大奖,您最想拥有的是什么呢?根据针对3000名男女进行的调查,研究人员竟然得到一些有趣的结果。原来男人和女人的“终极梦想”竟然有如此大的不同啊~!比如,女性在调查中更希望拥有一个在意大利的别墅、戴着蒂凡尼的钻石戒指,与此同时,男人的第一梦想是有一个在曼哈顿屋顶公寓以及阿斯顿马丁V8 Vantage赛车,当然还是少不了一台iphone5了。

  The results showed the average woman would splash her winnings on ?2,000 Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo shoes, holidays and diamonds. A spokesperson for EuroMillions said: 'We wanted to give people the chance to think of things which are beyond their wildest dreams - the kind of things you could by with a massive jackpot win .

  'The two lists are fascinating - women seem to love the idea of owning designer fashion items, but have also included a few things which would make their home more stylish. 'Men go straight for the transport and gadgets, wanting the very latest developments in technology and vehicles alike.' The survey shows more than a third of women love the idea of having a personal trainer to give them a complete body overhaul if they could afford it.

  调查结果十分有意思,有意思的是女人宁肯花上2000英镑而买一双Jimmy Choo的高跟鞋、或者要一颗钻石等,并且对大设计师手下的高档奢侈品“绝不含糊”,图得是让自己变美、更性感、更能够吸引男人的目光。而男人的梦想好像与女人木有什么关系,男人更喜欢把银子花在交通运输工具或者高科技产品上,俗话说“车是男人的小老婆”这话其实一点儿都不假啊!调查机构EuroMillions的发言人说:“我们的最终愿望是想了解到男女的最最狂野的梦想究竟是什么。虽然是纸上谈兵,但是结果十分有趣,男人和女人在终极梦想上还是有那么多的不同!”

  The study also shows that 41 per cent of women and 25 per cent of men love the idea of having a personal shopper to help them with all their special purchases. Ideally, women would go shopping at least twice a week, but 14 per cent could happily shop daily - this is compared to the majority of men being content with a quick shop once a week. But the survey shows six in 10 men and women know exactly what they would buy if they suddenly came into a fortune.

  此外,男女在实现“终极梦想”的旅途中也不是完全没有契合点,在网上进行答题中,男女都承认他们都需要一个“私人购物助手”来协助他们实现梦想,在对助手的需求上,女性比男性的需求更多一些,有41%的女人渴望助手的帮忙,而男人只有25%。在调查中,研究员还发现,女性的购物频率至少每两周一次,而且有14%的受调查的女性承认,她们渴望天天购物。与此相对,大多数的男人还是把购物当做一种“任务”,希望购物的时间越快越好,更有效率些。不管怎样,有60%的男性和女性都纷纷表示,倘若他们有朝一日发了“横财”,他们绝对知道怎么样把钱花出去!!!
