Millennials are the happiest generation, and that may be because they know how to take care of themselves. Recent research takes an even closer look at one seriously intriguing way that millennials are nurturing themselves: teddy bears. 千禧一代是最幸福的一代,这也许是因为他们知道如何照顾自己。最近的一项研究甚至还认真调查了千禧一代鼓励自己的一种特别有趣的方式:那就是泰迪熊。 In a survey of 2,000 adults conducted by Build-a-Bear-Workshop, it was revealed that 99 percent of all adults had a stuffed animal as a child. That's not too surprising because, according to Shefali Tsabary, a clinical psychologist : “For children, a stuffed animal symbolizes warmth, comfort and playfulness.” But what might be more striking is that at least 53 percent of the adults surveyed still have at least one stuffed animal, either at their home or at their parents' homes. 熊宝宝工作坊对2000名成年人进行了调查。据透露,99%的成年人在童年的时候拥有一只毛绒玩具。这并不太令人惊讶,因为一位临床心理学家谢法利·沙巴利表示:“对孩子而言,毛绒玩具象征着温暖、舒适和乐趣。”不过,可能更令人惊讶的是受访者中至少有53%的成年人起码拥有一只毛绒玩具,他们或者是把玩具放在自己家里,或者是放在父母的家里。 |
