The British accent is the most attractive in the world, according to an international survey which shows French is no longer considered the language of love. 一项国际研究表明，英式英语是世界上最动人的语言，而法语不再是爱的语言。 Britain came out ahead of American, Irish and Australian accents by a generous margin, chosen by 26.7 percent of respondents. The French accent was relegated to a meager fifth place (7.7 percent). 26.7%的调查对象认为英式英语是最动听的，远超美式、爱尔兰和澳式英语的支持者，而法语的支持率却降至可怜的第五位（7.7%）。 Inhabitants of Sydney, New York and Paris are most likely to fall for a British accent. 居住在悉尼、纽约和巴黎的人们更喜欢英式口音。 However, when it comes to the cities with the best dating scene, London only ranked sixth. 然而，全球最浪漫城市的排行榜中，伦敦却屈居第六位。 Paris led the way, followed by Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Chicago. 其中巴黎居首位，后面四位依次是是墨尔本、吉隆坡、北京和芝加哥。 Sydney is the city with the happiest singletons, with 31 percent saying they are "proudly single". New York is the opposite, with 45 percent of daters describing themselves as "sad to be single". The Time Out Global Dating Survey also questioned 11,000 people in 24 cities about dating etiquette. |
