萬萬沒想到：求婚場所TOP10 第一竟然是…

Traditional marriage proposals could soon be consigned to the history books – with almost half of them now happening at home in front of the TV.
傳統的求婚方式可能很快就會成爲歷史，因爲現在幾乎一半的求婚都發生在家裏的電視機前。

A study of newlyweds has found modern men are ditching age-old traditional proposal custom in favor of a more lacklustre approach.
一項針對新婚夫婦的研究指出，現代男性已逐漸拋棄了流傳已久的傳統求婚風俗，他們更傾向於選擇單調的方式求婚。

The study found only a third of men now go down on one knee to pop the question as their fathers and grandfathers’ generations would have done.
研究指出，如今只有1/3的男性會像他們的父輩、祖輩那樣，單膝跪地求婚。

Even the idea of picking a romantic location to propose has fallen by the wayside, with the typical ‘Will you marry me?’ now most likely to take place at home.
甚至是選擇一個浪漫場所求婚的想法都被丟在一旁。如今，男性更有可能在家裏提出那個象徵性的問題“你願意嫁給我嗎？”

Only six percent bothered to take their partner abroad on holiday – but the same number of men proposed in the local pub – and 5.5% popped the question in the car.
只有6%的男性會花心思帶自己的伴侶出國度假，然而也有6%的男性會在當地酒吧向自己的另一半求婚，還有5.5%的男性在車裏求婚。

Almost a third of women 29% now end up choosing their own ring, rather than letting their partner decide.
如今幾乎有三分之一的女性（29%）最後得自己選戒指，而不是由另一半決定。

Lorna Haddon, who commissioned the study of 1,500 newlyweds, commented: "Busy lives and hectic schedules mean we have fewer hours in the day for romance – however our study shows women do still want the ‘perfect proposal’ – and it's not only picking the perfect engagement ring that counts.”
洛娜·哈登委託相關人員對1500對新婚夫婦進行了這次調查，她解釋道：“忙碌的生活、緊張的安排意味着，在一天中，我們只能用更少的時間去做浪漫的事情，但是，我們的研究指出，女性依然想要‘完美的求婚’，對她們來說，重要的事情並不僅僅是挑選那枚理想中的訂婚戒指。”

“The location, atmosphere and little details that mean a lot to them really make a proposal truly special, and as it’s a once in a lifetime occasion it’s well worth making the effort."
“場所、氣氛以及對她們來說意義重大的微小細節確實會讓一場求婚變得非常特別，而且求婚是一生僅有一次的場合，值得我們爲此努力一把。”
