情侶1年吵300次架 廚房爲最佳"戰地"

There are the reAlly big issues that divide couples ... and then there are the very, very small ones. And the latter don’t half add up. Minor irritations such as leaving wet towels on the bed, flicking between TV channels and hoarding bits and bobs cause most of the 312 arguments that the average couple has each year, researchers say. Those little annoying habits can become such a big problem that one in five Britons have even considered them a reason to split up – with a Thursday evening the most likely time for a row to develop.

都說“打是親，罵是愛”，不對，那是形容養育小孩的；那就“打情罵俏”吧，有專家統計，情侶之間在一年時間內，爲雞毛蒜皮、大大小小的事情爭執（從搶鏡子、搶電視到生活習慣的不同），吵架次數達到：每年312次！研究員通過調查，有20%的英國情侶因生活習慣的不同、生活瑣事逐漸演變成大事，兩性之間戰爭爆發，進而分手的。有趣的是，八卦的專家們竟然計算出了情侶們每週吵架的“高峯時段”：每個星期四的晚上！這段時間內，情侶的吵架頻率達到了每週的巔峯！

　　According to the researchers, women tend to become more frustrated with their partner’s habits than men. The most common complaints include loo roll not being replaced, lights that aren’t switched off, channel hopping and the lavatory seat being left up. But men aren’t immune to getting irritated either. They grit their teeth when their partner takes too long to get ready, clogs up the plughole with hair or nags them about chores. The statistics emerged in a study of 3,000 adults by .

據調查，女人因生活習性不同，進而受到“困擾”的程度要比男人大得多得多！能夠讓男人和女人都“抓狂”的生活瑣事“各有千秋”。最最讓女人頭大的生活細節有很多，比如：衛生紙沒有及時更換，以及電燈不靈、廁所馬桶蓋沒有掀起來等等。這些生活瑣事也同樣干擾着男人，對於男人來說，“乾等”女朋友梳妝打扮可以讓諸位本來風度翩翩的紳士們崩潰。據悉，這項關於兩性對於生活瑣事的調查時針對3000名成人，是在網上進行的。

Spokesman Nick Elson said: 'All couples argue but to see how much time they argue over simply things like household chores was a bit of an eye opener. It seems a lot of time to be wasting bickering however annoying habits can get.' The study found the kitchen is also a common battleground for arguments about r habits that partners listed as annoying included leaving dirty cups around the house, hoarding stuff, flicking TV channels and leaving tissues all over the house. Eight out of ten people said they often found themselves cleaning up after their other half rather than continue to nag them. One in four credit their nagging with changing their partner's behaviour. A fifth of Brits have even considered splitting up with their partner over their annoying habits.

發言人Nick Elson 說：“所有的情侶爲雞毛蒜皮瑣事吵架的頻率是令人吃驚的，相互不能忍受對方的生活習慣是主因。”在調查中，專家發現，廚房竟然是一個情侶們吵架最高的場所，因爲對於清潔工作由誰幹的事情是最適合吵架的了。此外，還有許多讓男人和女人都不能忍受的事情，比如說：丟下髒咖啡杯不洗、不停轉換電視頻道、衛生紙隨處亂丟等等等等。調查顯示，有80%的人會因爲不想繼續爭執而迅速改掉自己討人厭的習慣，而有25%左右的人通過糾正對方的錯誤來結束戰爭，最後，有15%的英國人還是“忍無可忍”選擇和對方分手。對，別過了，離了還是好朋友！
