情人节约会：女人偏爱共进晚餐 然后跳舞

Most women prefer dinner and a dance on Valentine's Day

 

The invitation most women would like to hear this is: "Would you like to dance?" A study commissioned by British dance event MOVE IT, asked 500 men and women aged between 16 - 55 about their attitudes toward dating and matters of romance, to discover what both sexes are looking for when it comes to a romantic partner this Valentine's Day. The results reveal a gulf between each gender's attitude toward dating and, in particular, the role of dancing within the dating scenario. Results showed that 83.3 percent of people were nervous about the first dance on a first date. Most men are more nervous about the first dance with a girl, than the first kiss, while only 11 percent of women were nervous about the first dance. Other areas of worry included maintaining a conversation, the first kiss and looking your best. The study also revealed that women would be more likely to continue dating a bad kisser who could dance, than a bad dancer who could kiss and that more women rated being able to dance well above being able to kiss well when asked about the skills they most rated in a prospective partner. A woman's dream date scenario would be dinner then dancing with 53.3 percent choosing it as their ideal date, beating a romantic walk, the cinema, bowling or a sports match. But a man's dream date scenario would be going on a romantic walk with only a quarter of those questioned choosing dinner then dancing as their first choice. "Being a more confident dancer can help you catch the eye of prospective dates and add a little sparkle to an evening out so we are calling on men throughout the nation to rid themselves of their dancing fears this Valentine's Day and hit the dancefloor," MOVE IT Creative Director Georgina Harper said in a statement. MOVE IT takes place on 11th-14th of March at London's Olympia, and will feature masterclasses, live performances, dance classes, top dancers, leading exhibitors, freestyle stage, auditions, seminars and a "Get On Stage" competition.

今年情人节多数女性最想听到的邀请是：“请你跳舞好吗？” 由英国舞会盛事MOVE IT开展的一项调查询问了年龄在16岁到55岁之间的500位男性和女性关于约会和浪漫活动的态度，揭秘今年情人节男性和女性对他们的浪漫情侣有哪些期待。 调查结果揭示了男女对约会态度的巨大差别，特别是在约会场景中跳舞的分量。结果显示83.3%的人对于初次约会中的第一支舞感到紧张。 大多数男性对于和女孩跳第一支舞比第一次接吻还要更紧张，而只有11%的女性对于跳第一支舞感到紧张。 其他令人担心的地方还包括将谈话进行下去、第一次接吻和表现出自己最好的一面。 研究还揭示，相对于吻技不错但不会跳舞的人，女性更有可能和一个吻技糟糕但是会跳舞的人继续约会。当被问及她们最在乎未来伴侣有哪些技巧，更多的女性认为会跳舞比会接吻更重要。 一个女人梦想的约会场景是共进晚餐，然后跳舞。有53.3%的女性认为这就是她们心目中的理想约会，这一比例超过了选择浪漫散步、看电影、打保龄球或看体育比赛的人。 但是一个男人梦想的约会场景却是浪漫散步，被调查者中只有四分之一首选共进晚餐和跳舞。 MOVE IT的创意总监乔姬娜•哈珀在一项陈述中说：“成为一名更自信的舞者能够帮助你吸引潜在约会对象的眼球，并为约会的夜晚增加亮点。所以我们呼吁全国的男性在今年情人节扔掉他们对跳舞的恐惧，迈开他们的舞步。” MOVE IT舞会活动将于3月11日到3月14日在伦敦的奥林匹亚城举行，届时会有大师学习班、现场表演、舞蹈班、顶级舞者、重要的参展商、自由风格舞舞台、试镜、研讨会和一场名为“登上舞台”的比赛。

注: 过了这么多的情人节,一直不知道情人节用英文如何说,今天打开google的定制,发现有一篇介绍情人约会的文章,本着学学英语的目的看了看,收获不小呀,学会了一些单词与用法。看来想约会的朋友还要学习跳舞呀！

祝天下有情人情人节快乐！ Happy Valentine’s Date.
