Men spend more time getting ready than women, research shows.
研究显示,男性在出门前花的打扮准备时间比女性要久!

On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturizing, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found.
近日有一项研究显示,男性平均每天要花81分钟在个人形象上,包括清洁、爽肤、保湿、修面、发型和挑选衣服。

Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes.
而女性的日常美容程序已经成为了一门精妙的艺术:75分钟内搞定头发、衣服和化妆。

The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women.
英国经济型连锁酒店公司Travelodge进行的这项研究发现,男性平均每天早上花在洗澡淋浴上的时间是23分钟,女性则只要22分钟。

Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising.
清洁、爽肤和保湿方面,男性要多花1分钟,需要10分钟的时间。

Choosing an outfit is also a time-consuming operation for men who want to look their best - taking 13 minutes compared to 10 minutes for women.
对于男性来说,挑选衣服也是个费时的过程,因为他们希望自己是最好的状态。男性要花13分钟,女性则只要10分钟。

The study also found that the average British person does not have a clue regarding the true value of their toiletry bag.
研究同时还发现,现在的英国人全然不知化妆包的真正价值。

When quizzed, the average adult estimated their wash bag with contents to be worth £52.23 when in reality the bag of essentials is worth nearly three times more at £156.69.
当被问到化妆包里的东西大概价值多少钱时,普通成年人的估计是洗漱包加上里面的东西价值52.23英镑,但是实际上,包里的各种用品的价值加起来是估计的三倍,156.69英镑!

A spokeswoman for Travelodge said they had seen a rise in the number of toiletry bags being left behind in their 487 hotels.
Travelodge的发言人表示,在Travelodge旗下的487所连锁酒店中,被遗忘的化妆包数量在增加。

In the last 12 months, hotel staff have spent hundreds of hours uniting 10,000 wash bags with their owners.
在过去的一年里,酒店的工作人员花费了很多的时间和精力来帮这些化妆包(共计一万个)找回主人。

In one case a customer paid more than £100 for a courier to pick up her toiletry bag, which she had left behind in a London hotel - the designer wash bag had nearly £1,000 worth of toiletry items.
有一个这样的故事:一位客人花了100多英镑让导游去帮她拿回化妆包,她把化妆包遗落在伦敦的酒店里。这个名家设计的化妆包里有价值1000英镑的洗漱美容用品。

小编有话说:小编觉得这个研究虽然有点不靠谱,但是还是有一定道理的。男生们可以现身说法,说说自己每天出门前要花多长时间?真的比女朋友花的时间还久么?
