  • Britons spend almost five years of their lives worrying, a study has found.

    Some 86 per cent of people in a survey described themselves as worriers.

    在调查中有大约86%的人自称为“发愁的人”。

    And the research revealed we spend on average one hour and 50 minutes a day fretting1, amounting to 12 hours and 53 minutes a week – or four years and 11 months across the average adult lifetime of 64 years.

    而且这项研究揭露:我们每天平均有1小时50分是花在烦恼上,那么每周就是12小时53分钟——或者说4年11个月(而成人的平均寿命是64年)。

    Work was the most common worry listed by those polled2, followed by financial concerns, being late, a loved one's health and their own health. Relationships, missing a train or bus, not waking up to their alarm, their appearance and their family's safety completed the top ten most common concerns.
