话说Right Guard公司为推广一项产品在英国针对2000人做调查,统计英国人一周内遭遇几次尴尬时刻。结果显示,英国人平均每天都会遭遇一件尴尬,而女性陷入窘境的情形比男性要多三倍。遇上难堪时,10%人会撒谎蒙混过去,46%会试图推卸责任。碰到别人出糗时,大部份人会装作视而不见。
至于那些事让英国人感到尴尬,排在排在前20位的(The most common reasons we want the ground to open and swallow us ...)是——
1. Falling over in
public (当众跌跤)
2. Stomach grumbling in a meeting (开会时肚子咕咕作响)
