英国人“完美人生”应做的50件事 做到8件就很了不起

British people believe losing a stone in weight, performing live on stage, travelling to 25 foreign countries and earning more than your age are all crucial in order to 'live life to the full'.
英国人认为，减掉一英石的体重、在舞台上现场演出、去25个国家旅行和比同龄人赚得多，这些对于“完美人生”来说至关重要。

Spending time with children, having a one-night stand and staying up all night drinking also feature on the new list of 50 achievements we feel we need to do at least once, along with finding true love and being married for more than 20 years.
陪孩子、有一夜情和通宵喝酒同样排在了英国人感觉一生至少应该有一次的50件事清单上，而找到真爱、婚姻持续超过20年也同样上榜。

Researchers compiled the list - which also includes doing a bungee jump, dating someone exciting but completely wrong for you, blowing money on a spontaneous trip and going on holiday twice a year - by questioning 2,000 adults about what makes a 'full' life.
研究人员编辑的这个清单还包括蹦极、与刺激但不适合的人约会、在一次说走就走的旅行中大肆花钱、一年度假两次，这个清单是向2000个成人询问如何过“完美人生”得出的结论。

But the study also revealed the average person has ticked off just eight of the 50 achievements listed - and only 23 per cent of those polled believe they are already 'living life to the full'.
但是研究同样表明，50件事情中一般人只能做到8件——而且其中只有23%认为他们已经在过“完美的生活”。

Trying all types of food, experiencing different cultures, having a degree, owning a pet and visiting all of Britain's historical landmarks were also hailed as 'essential'.
尝试各种食物、体验不同的文化、获得学位、养宠物和参观所有英国古迹同样被认为是完美的人生的“必备条件”。

A spokesman for the poll, commissioned to mark the DVD release of Life Of Pi, said: 'The research is really interesting because much of the top 50 list focuses on experiences and achievements rather than having more material possessions.
此项调查的发言人表示：“这项研究很有趣，因为清单上列出来的50件事侧重于经历和成就，而不是拥有更多的物质财富。” 据悉委托此项调查是为了庆祝《少年派的奇幻漂流》DVD版发布。

'And that's exactly what the term 'living life to the full' means - it's getting to that point in life where you are enjoying each moment, from the thrills and adventures to the routine of everyday.
“这就是‘完美的生活’ 所代表的涵义——指的正是在生活你是如何享受每一刻的，从惊险刺激和冒险活动到每天的日常生活。”
