英國不差錢兒 家中待客更熱鬧

       Britons are increasingly entertaining guests at home with dinner, film and karaoke nights, inspired by television shows on cookery and home entertainment, according to a survey.

　　一項調查顯示，受電視烹飪節(jié)目和家庭娛樂節(jié)目的影響，如今英國人越來越喜歡請客人來家里吃飯、看電影、唱卡拉OK。

　　More than half (53 percent) of the respondents to a poll of 1,000 Britons across the country said they now prefer to spend quality time with family and friends by inviting them over to their homes rather than meeting in bars and restaurants, the survey by mobile phone operator T-Mobile showed.

　　這項由手機運營商T-Mobile開展的調查顯示，在來自全國各地的1000名受訪者中，一半以上（53%）的人說他們現在更喜歡請親朋好友來家里來玩，而不是去酒吧或餐館。
