英國人最大憾事:人還在,錢沒了
Regrets, we've all had a few – from losing touch with old friends to letting that special someone slip through our fingers.
人生在世，難免有些遺憾——從與老友漸行漸遠到錯失自己心愛的人。But it seems our greatest regret of all is something rather More practical ... failing to save enough money.
但是，我們最大的遺憾好像更加實際——那就是，錢沒存夠。Researchers have compiled a list of 50 things Britons would change if they could live life over again. And the most common was to save more money, with 35 per cent saying that failing to do so was their biggest mistake.
研究人員編寫了一份“如果重活一次英國人最想改變的50件事”榜單，其中出現頻率最高的便是多存點錢，約35%的人稱，沒存夠是錢他們最大的錯誤。
Thirty-one per cent wished they had done more to keep fit, while travelling more was high on the list. Shockingly, not having enough one-night stands was the 43rd biggest regret, above not giving more to charity at 44th.
31%的人表示他們希望當初能更努力地減肥，多出去旅遊也名列前茅。而讓人驚訝的是，沒能多多一夜風流在遺憾榜單上竟名列第43位，比沒給慈善機構多捐點錢還高一位。In terms of career, 17 per cent of people said they wished they had pushed themselves harder in their chosen career path, while another 23 per cent said they would like to have been more confident and outgoing.
在事業方面，17%的人表示他們希望自己當初能在自己選擇的職業道路上加倍努力，還有23%的人稱他們希望自己能再自信、開朗點兒。More than one in ten wished they had visited and spoken to their parents more, according to the research.
研究表明，超過一成的人表示希望自己當初能多看看父母，多和他們談談心。Andrew Robertson, of 16-25 Railcard, which commissioned the study of 1,500 adults of all ages, said: 'Many of us have things that we might do differently in our lives, whether it's travelling and exploring more, making an effort to keep fit, or being more careful with money.
此項研究由16-25 Railcard委託開展，調查了1500名各個年齡段的成年人。16-25 Railcard的安德魯?羅伯特森（Andrew Robertson）表示：“我們很多人的人生中都有想要改變的事情，不管是多旅遊探險、努力減肥還是對金錢更謹慎。”'The findings go to show how important it is to make the most of our time and live life to the full. By offering a third off rail travel for those aged 16-25 we want to give young people the chance to get out, see friends and family, travel and explore, without having to worry unduly about the cost.
“這項研究的結果說明，充分利用時間、活出充實的人生是多麼重要。通過給16到25歲的年輕人提供買火車票打2/3折的優惠，我們想爲他們提供出去走走、拜訪親友、旅行探索而不用擔心開銷的機會。”'Hopefully this will mean the younger generation of today will have fewer regrets later in life.'
“希望這能讓如今的年輕一代日後後悔的事少一些。”
