One in three of us eat more meals by ourselves than we do with other people, a new study revealed today. 今日发布的一项新研究揭露，1/3的英国人自己一个人吃饭的次数比和别人一起吃饭的次数更多。 But before you digest that somewhat depressing statistic, there is some good news - kind of - a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment. 不过在你回味这一让人有些抑郁的统计数值时，也有一些好消息，就是许多英国人都很愿意独自进餐，因为电脑和电视让我们可以自娱自乐。 Perhaps unsurprisingly, half of the UK's bachelors eat a meal alone at least once a day. And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation. However, eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks - in fact it's now both a quick and entertaining affair. 英国半数单身汉每天至少独自吃一顿饭，这也许并不让人惊讶。不过根据未来基金会的一项有关饮食趋势和社会变化的大型调查的报告，就连有家庭的妈妈们也有1/4的人大多数时间是一个人进餐。不过，独自进餐似乎不再是件头疼事，如果你在社交网络上聊天的话，现在独自进餐事实上是一件既便捷又有趣的事。 |
