Top 50 things that make Britons feel great

英國人“享受美好”的50件小事

Sleeping in a freshly made bed is the thing most likely to make people feel great, according to new research.

一項(xiàng)新的研究表明,睡在新鋪好的床上最容易讓人感覺美好。

Changing the bed sheets may feel like a chore to some, but the feeling of sleeping in a freshly made bed has topped a list of the 50 things that make us feel good, with nearly two-thirds (62 per cent) saying it is their favourite feel great moment.

更換床單對(duì)一些人來說可能是一件苦差事,但是睡在新鋪的床上卻位列“50件讓我們感到很棒的小事”之首,近三分之二(62%)的受訪者稱,這是他們最喜歡、感覺最好的時(shí)刻。

The feeling of the sun on our face came second on the list (57 per cent) with people saying 'thank you' or a random act of kindness from a stranger completing the top three.

57%的人表示,陽光灑在臉上的感覺很舒服,此項(xiàng)位列第二。第三則是,人們說“謝謝”時(shí)或是陌生人一個(gè)善意的行為。

The survey of 2,000 people was conmissioned by Bupa to launch its Feel Great Britain campaign. Strictly come Dancing host Tess Daly is fronting the drive to encourage people to enjoy plenty of feel great moments to improve their overall health and well-being.

保柏集團(tuán)(Bupa)發(fā)起了一項(xiàng)“讓英國人享受美好”的活動(dòng),該活動(dòng)對(duì)2000名英國人進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。英國真人秀節(jié)目《舞動(dòng)奇跡》主持人苔絲·達(dá)莉(Tess Daly)代言該活動(dòng)并鼓勵(lì)人們享受美好時(shí)刻,以提高整體健康水平和幸福感。

Finding a bargain in the sales (41 per cent) and a cup of tea (39 per cent) were also among the favourite feel great moments.

買到便宜貨(41%的人投票)、喝一杯茶(39%的人投票)都是讓英國人感覺美好的瞬間。

The top 50 also contained a number of more bizarre feel great moments including rainbows (23 per cent), popping bubble wrap (20 per cent), dancing like no-one is watching (19 per cent), new stationary (11 per cent), the 'pop' when you open a new jam jar (nine per cent) and cleaning wax from your ears (eight per cent).

前50項(xiàng)里面同樣包括一些比較怪誕的但卻令人感覺愉快的瞬間,例如:看到彩虹(23%)、擠包裝袋的泡泡(20%)、旁若無人的跳舞(19%)、得到了新文具(11%)、打開果醬罐時(shí)“嘭”的一聲(9%)、掏耳朵(8%)。

However, the survey also revealed a worrying trend for how rarely people feel great. Just one in eight (12.5 per cent) said they have a 'feel great' moment more than once a month and almost one in five lacked inspiration.

然而,調(diào)查也顯示了一個(gè)令人擔(dān)憂的趨勢(shì),人們很少會(huì)感覺很棒。只有八分之一(12.5%)的人稱他們一個(gè)多月才會(huì)感覺到心情不錯(cuò),近五分之一的人表示沒有什么鼓舞人心的事情。

Stress (64 per cent), a lack of sleep (63 per cent), bad manners (51 per cent), financial pressures (50 per cent) and the weather (47 per cent) were the top reasons given for preventing people from feeling great.

人們感覺不好的原因多來自于:壓力(64%)、睡眠不足(63%)、不禮貌行為(51%)、經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力(50%)和天氣(47%)。

The findings also suggest that feeling great occurs more often later in life, with 21 per cent of over 55s saying they have a feel great moment every day. However, 28 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds and 30 per cent of 45 to 54-year-olds only have a feel great moment once a week.

研究結(jié)果表明,感覺很棒的時(shí)刻多出現(xiàn)在中老年時(shí)期,21%的55歲以上的人每天都會(huì)有感覺很棒的時(shí)刻。然而,28%的年齡在25—34歲的人以及30%的45—54歲的人平均一周才會(huì)有一次這種感覺。

Tess Daly, Bupa's Feel Great Britain ambassador, said: "We all have those little things that make us feel great - for me it's feeling the sun on my face.

保柏“讓英國人享受美好”這一活動(dòng)的形象大使苔絲·達(dá)莉(Tess Daly)說道:“每個(gè)人都有能讓心情變好的小招數(shù),對(duì)于我來說,陽光照在臉上的感覺美極了。”

"With modern society being so busy people struggle to find the time and lack the inspiration to enjoy a feel great moment."

“現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的人們太匆忙,很難有時(shí)間也缺乏靈感來享受美好時(shí)刻。”

Dr Paula Franklin, UK Medical Director at Bupa, said: "People seem to find it easy to name the things that make them feel great, but unfortunately people don't report very many feel great moments.

保柏的醫(yī)學(xué)總監(jiān)保拉·富蘭克林博士說:“人們似乎很容易就能說出使他們感覺美好的事情,但是不幸的是人們說不出多少這樣的美好時(shí)刻。”

"Feeling great can really help people improve their health and well-being. As a nation, we could do a lot more for our mind, body and soul and that is why Bupa is launching Feel Great Britain, to provide inspiration and opportunities for Britons to enjoy their feel great moments."

“好的心情的確有益于提高人們的健康水平,增強(qiáng)幸福感。作為一位國民,我們可以為我們的身體、精神、心靈健康做很多的事情,保柏發(fā)起的這項(xiàng)‘享受美好’活動(dòng),旨在為英國人提供靈感與機(jī)會(huì)去享受生命中的美好時(shí)刻。”
