調(diào)查顯示，超過一半的成年人認為自己“孤獨”

If you feel alone most days, you’re not alone in that feeling. A survey of 2,000 British adults found that over half consider themselves “lonely,” largely because they are too busy or shy to socialize with others.

如果你大部分時間都感到孤獨，那么你并不孤獨。一項針對2000名英國成年人的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，超過一半的人認為自己“孤獨”，這主要是因為他們太忙或太害羞，無法與他人交往。

Among respondents, 28% said they don’t have enough time to socialize. Another 33% said they struggle to find friends with similar interests, and over 36% said they are simply too shy. Others blame social media and money problems; 20% said they do all their correspondence online, while 30% attribute their loneliness to lack of money.

受訪者中，28%的人說自己“沒有足夠的時間”進行社交活動，33%的人說他們很難找到臭味相投的朋友;超過36%的人說，沒有朋友是因為自己“太害羞”了;還有人說，讓自己孤獨的原因是“網(wǎng)絡(luò)和錢”：比如20%的人說，他們所有的郵件在網(wǎng)上就處理了，用不著跟人接觸，30%的人承認，自己的孤獨就是因為缺錢。

Younger British generations seem to experience loneliness more often than the general population. While 52% of all participants admit to feeling lonely at one time or another, that number balloons to 68% of those surveyed between the ages of 18 and 24, compared to 41% of people over 55 years old.

很明顯，年輕人更容易感到孤獨：這次研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，英國成年人“最孤獨”的平均年齡是37歲，并且有五分之一的受訪者說，他們在20多歲時最孤獨。18到24歲的受訪者中，68%的人時不時的感到孤單，他們認為，現(xiàn)今的數(shù)字化生活導(dǎo)致了這一切：有超三分之一的年輕人說，他們和別人溝通主要通過社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

The survey, commissioned by the Royal Horticultural Society, also found that half of respondents have at least attempted to do something about their constant feelings of loneliness. A full third of participants joined a social group of some kind, and nearly 30% have joined a sports team.

這項由英國皇家園藝學(xué)會委托開展的調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，一半的受訪者至少嘗試過解決他們長期的孤獨感。三分之一的參與者加入了某種社會團體，近30%的人加入了運動隊。

According to the research, the average age when British adults feel most alone is 37 years old, but a fifth of respondents said they felt their most lonely in their twenties.

根據(jù)這項研究，英國成年人感到最孤獨的平均年齡是37歲，但五分之一的受訪者說他們在20多歲時感到最孤獨。

Over half of survey participants between 18 and 24 years old said living in the digital age has had an effect on their loneliness. Over a third of young respondents said they communicate mostly over social media. Conversely, a third of over-55 respondents speak with others face-to-face most often.

在18歲至24歲的受訪者中，超過一半的人稱生活在數(shù)字時代對他們的孤獨感有影響。超過三分之一的年輕受訪者表示，他們主要通過社交媒體進行溝通。相反，55歲以上的受訪者中有三分之一最常與他人面對面交談。
