本文題目：高中英語課外讀物：人生最后悔的20件事
每周后悔兩小時(shí)：人生最后悔的20件事
Regrets: One in 20 people think they should have married an ex-partner and 16 per cent feel they wasted years with the wrong partner.
遺憾：20個(gè)人中有一個(gè)會(huì)認(rèn)為他們應(yīng)該跟前任戀人結(jié)婚，而16%的人覺得他們在錯(cuò)誤的戀人身上浪費(fèi)了時(shí)間。
Wish you had seen more of the world, exercised more or worked harder at school? You’re far from alone.
是不是希望你能更多看看世界，以前應(yīng)該多鍛煉，在學(xué)校的時(shí)候應(yīng)該更努力呢?不止你一個(gè)人這樣想。
It seems most of us carry around a few regrets – and we spend more than two hours a week dwelling on them.
似乎大多數(shù)人都會(huì)有一些后悔的事——而且每周我們會(huì)花2小時(shí)以上后悔。
A study has found that we typically have six things we would love to change, with the most common cause of remorse being not having travelled enough.
一項(xiàng)研究表明，我們通常都想改變6件事，其中最常見的就是后悔沒有足夠的旅行。
More than half of those surveyed admitted wishing they had made a different life choice at some point, such as having a different career, living somewhere else or marrying someone different.
受訪者中有一半以上的人承認(rèn)，希望自己在某些時(shí)刻做出了不一樣的人生選擇，比如不一樣的職業(yè)、住在其他地方，或者跟一個(gè)不一樣的人結(jié)婚。
A fifth of women regretted wasting time with the wrong partner, compared to 10 per cent of men.
20%的女人后悔跟錯(cuò)誤的戀人一起浪費(fèi)了時(shí)間，而男人中有10%這么想。
But a quarter of the 2,000 participants said they did not believe it was possible to live a life without regrets, perhaps explaining why, on average, we spend 19 minutes per day – or more than two hours a week – thinking about things we could have done differently.
2000位調(diào)查參與者中，有25%的人表示他們相信人生不可能沒有后悔，這或許就解釋了為什么我們平均每天會(huì)花19分鐘(或者說一周花超過2小時(shí))去考慮那些我們不那樣做的事情。
