今年情人節,人們偏愛於非物質禮物

Forget cards, flowers and chocolates, most people want a special experience rather than a gift for Valentine’s Day
今年情人節，大多數人們最想要的禮物不是賀卡、鮮花和巧克力，而是一段特別的經歷。

“People are really interested in experience gifts, rather than object gifts,” said Gian Gonzaga, a social psychologist with the dating website eHarmony, which conducted the online survey。
開展這一在線調查的婚戀交友網站eHarmony的社會心理學家吉安•岡薩加表示：“相比物質禮物，人們確實對體驗更感興趣一些。”

“The more you have experiences with someone, the more you are able to build memories and share histories that help to make the relationship more intimate.”
“你和某人的共同經歷越多，就能創造更多的回憶，擁有更多共同的過去，這有助於讓兩人的感情關係更親密。”

Unlike material gifts, he added, an experience, whether it is an outing, a vacation or a special meal, is something unique to the couple, especially if it reflects both people’s interests。
他補充道，與物質禮物不同，一段經歷，無論是郊遊、度假還是一頓特別的晚餐，尤其是一起做兩人都感興趣的事情，纔是情侶間獨一無二的禮物。
