英语美文：男人女人日常行为的相同和不同之处

行车路上实在是我们展示礼貌的场合。当另一个司机令人心烦的时候， 54% 的人选择什么也不做。另一些人中，爆粗口的占 17% ，做生气手势的占 16% ，其余的人则通过按闪车灯表示愤怒。

When it comes to changing a tire, we're fairly self-reliant. More than a third of female road warriors would tackle it themselves, although 6% of female drivers with a flat confess they'd simply stand there and "look pathetic and hope someone would help." But before chests are puffed out thish manly pride, consider this: twice as many men as women hail a cab for a trip of less than two blocks.

换轮胎的时候，人们表现得相当自立。 1/3 还要多的女人会如女勇士般自己换胎，但也有 6% 的女人就那么坦然地立在那儿，装得可怜兮兮的，希望有人来帮忙。但在你挺胸昂首、充满了男人的自豪感之前，先看看这个事实：为了短短不到两个街区的路程就打车的人中，男性是女性的两倍。

We're lazy in other areas too. 90% of us use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Most of us rarely change our answering-machine message, and almost a quarter of us slip into our shoes without untying them. And while more than one out of then shop for Christmas year-round, 22% of men and 9% of women putting off until the last day or two.

人们其他时候也表现出懒惰。 90% 的人早上需要闹钟才能起床。大多数人几乎从不更换电话留言的信息。几乎 1/4 的人不解鞋带就匆忙把脚往里伸。一成多的人整年购物时都会想着圣诞礼物，而 22% 的男人和 9% 的女人知道圣诞前一两天才想起买礼物。

Americans are compulsive about cleanliness. Almost half of us change the toweles daily or after every shower. On the other hand, 21% of us don't make the bed every day--and 5% admit they never do!

美国人喜好清洁。超过半数的人每天或者浴后都会更换毛巾。但是，却有 21% 的人每天睡前或起身后不整理床铺，甚至有 5% 的人承认他们从未这么做过！

There's a lot of diversity out there. So, whatever you prefer, remember there's always someone else on this planet just like you.
