She may be pretty, wealthy and about to marry a prince, but an overwhelming majority of British women do not envy Kate Middleton, a survey showed on Wednesday. Asked how much they envied Prince William's fiancee, 86 percent of women polled by YouGov said they did not feel jealous at all. The main reason why most women did not want to swap fortunes with Middleton was her perceived inability to lead a normal life after she and the second in line to the British throne tie the knot on April 29th, said MyDaily.co.uk, a women's website which commissioned the poll. "Most women realize Catherine has an unenviable task ahead of her, having her every move, not to mention every outfit, picked apart by the press," said Carla Bevan, editor-in-chief of MyDaily.co.uk. "The public clearly feel it's going to be no fairytale for Kate." But there were some who envied the future Princess Catherine. A 10th of respondents said they wished to be in her shoes, and for almost a third of these women the main attraction of being Kate Middleton was her wealth. YouGov surveyed just over 1,000 women aged 18 and older between March 30 and April 1. (Read by Nelly Min. Nelly Min is a journalist at the China Daily Website.) (Agencies)

凱特?米德爾頓也許很美麗、很富有、而且即將嫁給威廉王子，但本周三公布的調(diào)查顯示，絕大多數(shù)英國女性并不羨慕她。 在被問及有多羨慕準(zhǔn)王妃時，86%的受訪女性稱她們一點兒也不羨慕。這項調(diào)查由YouGov調(diào)查公司開展。 大多數(shù)女性看來并不向往當(dāng)上王妃，這主要是因為大家已經(jīng)預(yù)見到，凱特在嫁給英國王位第二繼承人后，就無法過平民生活了。凱特和威廉的婚禮將于本月29日舉行。該項調(diào)查由女性網(wǎng)站MyDaily.co.uk委托開展。 MyDaily.co.uk網(wǎng)站主編卡拉?貝文說：“大多數(shù)女性意識到，凱特將面臨的任務(wù)并不值得羨慕。就不用說她的穿著打扮了，她的一舉一動都可能引來媒體的板磚。” “公眾顯然覺得凱特的未來不會像童話般美好。” 但也有人羨慕未來的凱特王妃。十分之一的受訪者稱希望能嫁給王子，其中近三分之一的人表示主要是因為當(dāng)上王妃能擁有財富。 YouGov公司在3月30日至4月1日對大約一千名年齡在18歲以上的英國女性開展了此項調(diào)查。 相關(guān)閱讀 英哈里王子將給哥哥當(dāng)伴郎 新娘妹妹當(dāng)伴娘 （中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 Julie 編輯： 馮明惠） |
