十大熱門求婚地點(diǎn) 猜猜第一名是哪里？

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(tǒng)的求婚方式可能很快就只在歷史書里出現(xiàn)了，現(xiàn)在幾乎有一半的求婚是在家里看電視的時(shí)候完成的。

A study of newlyweds has found modern men are ditching age-old traditional proposal custom in favour of a more lacklustre approach.

一項(xiàng)針對(duì)新婚夫婦的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)代人漸漸地不再遵循傳統(tǒng)的求婚習(xí)俗，而更傾向于沒有驚喜的平凡求婚方式。

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.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，只有三分之一的男性現(xiàn)在還會(huì)像他們的父輩和祖輩那樣單膝下跪求婚。

And the age-old tradition of asking the bride’s father for her hand in marriage is also on the verge of dying out with 63% of recently married males claiming they “didn’t bother”.

而另一項(xiàng)古老的傳統(tǒng)——就結(jié)婚事宜請(qǐng)求新娘父親的首肯——也在慢慢消失，有63%的新婚男性說他們不再“這么費(fèi)事了”。

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.

連選一個(gè)浪漫求婚地點(diǎn)的想法也乏人問津了。那句經(jīng)典的“你愿意嫁給我么?”大多是在家里說出來的。

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%的人會(huì)花心思把他們的伴侶帶到國外度假然后求婚，但是也有6%的男性在當(dāng)?shù)鼐瓢删颓罅嘶?，還有5.5%在汽車上求婚。

The study also found the average amount of time in a relationship before a proposal is now three years – so British women are taking matters into their own hands in a bid to get a proposal.

研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)求婚前平均戀愛時(shí)間是三年，所以英國女性們都會(huì)自己想辦法讓他們的伴侶向他們求婚。

Almost a third of women 29% now end up choosing their own ring, rather than letting their partner decide.

約有三分之一(29%)的女性現(xiàn)在連戒指都是自己選，而不是讓他們的伴侶選。

The typical bride-to-be will also enlist the help of at least one friend to help speed up a proposal – as well as dropping two major engagement hints to encourage their partner to pop the question.

一般準(zhǔn)新娘也會(huì)至少讓一個(gè)朋友幫忙推進(jìn)求婚的進(jìn)程，比如拋出兩個(gè)重要的關(guān)于訂婚的暗示來鼓動(dòng)伴侶早些求婚。

Casually asking ‘Who would you want as your best man?’, commenting on celebrities' engagement rings - and jokingly suggesting you apply for the TV show ‘Don't Tell the Bride’ are the most common tactics.

不經(jīng)意間問他們“你想找誰當(dāng)伴郎?”，評(píng)論一下名人的訂婚戒指，還會(huì)開玩笑建議你去參加電視節(jié)目《新娘不得知》，這些都是最常用的技巧。

Lorna Haddon, diamond ring and jewellery buyer at Beaverbrooks who commissioned the study of 1,500 newlyweds, commented: "The stresses and strains of modern life mean we don’t always have the time to be as romantic as we would perhaps like to be.

比弗布魯克公司的鉆戒及珠寶買手洛娜•哈頓負(fù)責(zé)此次針對(duì)1500位新婚夫婦的調(diào)查。她表示：“現(xiàn)代生活的壓力和負(fù)擔(dān)意味著我們不是總有時(shí)間像期望中的那么浪漫。”

"Busy lives and hectic schedules mean we have fewer hours in the day for romance – however our study shows women do still want the ‘picture perfect proposal’ – and it's not only picking the perfect engagement ring that counts.

“忙碌的生活和緊張日程表意味著我們一天中沒有那么多時(shí)間來浪漫，然而我們的研究顯示女性仍然希望有一場(chǎng)‘十全十美的求婚’。挑選完美的訂婚戒指并不只是唯一重要的環(huán)節(jié)。”

“The location, atmosphere and little details that mean a lot to them really make a proposal personal and truly special, and as it’s a once in a lifetime occasion it’s well worth making the effort."

“地點(diǎn)、環(huán)境和一些小細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)她們來說十分重要，這也能使求婚更具個(gè)人特色，也更特別。求婚是人生一次的大事，值得好好花心思準(zhǔn)備。”
