調查發現:年法國人全球最悲觀大綱

They'll probably meet the news with a typically Gallic shrug, but the French are the saddest nation on the planet. It's not just their strings of onions that make our friends across the Channel cry - they top the charts for being the most pessimistic people looking ahead to 2011. The World Cup humiliation, which saw players sent home in disgrace and the team fail to win a game, won't have helped and nor does the handling of the economy by the enigmatic PM Nicolas Sarkozy.

也許聽到了這個消息之後，法國人會給你一個不以爲然的法式聳肩，但是很遺憾，經過調查，全世界浪漫之都--法國竟然是最容易感到悲傷的國家！這次不是法式洋蔥讓法國人掉眼淚，也不僅僅是世界盃法國隊球員集體內訌讓法國人感到失望，法國成功當選最容易感到悲傷的國家與經濟低迷的大環境脫不開關係。

People in developing economies, by contrast, tend to view the coming year more positively. Now that the fireworks have been put out and the New Year’s bubbly downed, Europeans are ringing in 2011 in a far more downbeat mood, with the French the most pessimistic of them all.

這項調查囊括了發達國家，與2011年的新年焰火形成鮮明反應，多數歐洲人在表達對已經到來的2011年的期望中表的了悲觀、失落以及沮喪等興趣，在這麼多國家裏，數法國人最失望！

A BVA-Gallup poll of 53 countries found the French the world champions of scepticism, with 61per cent of respondents saying 2011 will be 'a year of economic difficulty.' Britons were not far behind on 52 per cent, Spaniards 48 per cent and Italians 41 per poll found that 67 per cent of French respondents believed unemployment would rise over the next 12 months.

調查很有趣，針對53個國家展開，在“最悲傷的國家”榜單的榜首法國人中，他們以61%的民衆對2011年表現出極度悲觀的情緒。英國以52%的人感到失落緊隨其後，接下來第3難過的是西班牙人，他們以48%得票率名列榜單第三！在調查中，有67%的法國人對2011的失業率、低迷的經濟形式表現出悲傷情緒。

In Brazil, India and China, 49 per cent of respondents said they believed 2011 would be economically prosperous, with only 14 per cent predicting hardship. Vietnam topped the optimism rating with 70 per cent Vietnamese expressing confidence in the economic outlook for 2011.

令人感到奇怪的是，這項對2011期望的調查中，發展中國家的人民表現出的“相對樂觀”的情緒讓人“大跌眼鏡”！在巴西、印度以及中國，只有14%的民衆對2011的經濟形式擔憂，而最最樂觀的國家竟然是越南！越南民衆對2011表現出極大熱情，他們有70%的民衆對2011有信心呢！

Even in war-torn countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, respondents appeared to look forward to a brighter future with only 14 per cent of Afghans and 12 per cent of Iraqis fearing a deterioration of their situation.

即使是在戰亂的國家，比如說阿富汗、伊拉克等，他們也比發達國家樂觀得多，擔憂的民衆只佔到14%左右！都說“窮開心”，看來還是窮人的開心來得比較簡單！
