Men spend more time getting ready to go out than women, according to research. On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found. Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes. The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women. Men then take 18 minutes on their shaving regime, compared to 14 minutes for women despite them having to trim legs, armpits and bikini line. Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising. Choosing an outfit is also a time-consuming operation for men who want to look their best - taking 13 minutes compared to 10 minutes for women. The study also found that the average British person does not have a clue regarding the true value of their toiletry bag. When quizzed, the average adult estimated their wash bag with contents to be worth £52.23 when in reality the bag of essentials is worth nearly three times more at £156.69. A spokeswoman for Travelodge said they had seen a rise in the number of toiletry bags being left behind in their 487 hotels. In the last 12 months, hotel staff have spent hundreds of hours uniting 10,000 wash bags with their owners. In one case a customer paid more than £100 for a courier to pick up her toiletry bag, which she had left behind in a London hotel - the designer wash bag had nearly £1,000 worth of toiletry items.

调查发现，男性出门前打扮的时间比女性更长。 调查发现，男性平均每天花81分钟的时间来打理个人仪容，包括清洁、擦爽肤水和润肤露、刮胡须、弄发型和选择要穿的衣服。 女性则能够在75分钟内将发型、衣服和化妆都完美地搞定。 为经济型酒店Travelodge开展的这一调查发现，男性平均每天早上花23分钟来冲澡，而女性只需22分钟。 接着男性还要花18分钟来刮脸，而女性为双腿、腋下和比基尼线脱毛只需14分钟。 男性要花10分钟来洗脸、擦爽肤水和润肤露——比女性多1分钟。 对于那些想呈现出自己完美一面的男士，选择服装也是很耗费时间的，平均要花13分钟，而女性只需要10分钟。 调查还发现，英国人一般都不清楚自己的洗漱化妆包的真实价值。 在被问及洗漱包的价值时，英国成人的平均估价是52.23英镑，而实际上那包东西的价值是估价的近三倍，平均为156.69英镑。 Travelodge的一名女发言人说，他们发现遗落在Travelodge的487家连锁酒店中的洗漱包越来越多。 在过去12个月中，酒店员工为了将落在酒店的1万个洗漱包归还给他们的主人，花费了数百个小时。 曾经有一次，一位顾客花了100多英镑请专递员去取她遗落在一家伦敦酒店的洗漱包，这一名牌洗漱包内含价值近1000英镑的洗漱化妆用品。 相关阅读 （中国日报英语点津 陈丹妮 编辑：Julie） |
