Be On Time or Not?

作者: People Staff

The average adult starts to feel stressed if they are just 10 minutes late for a social event or meeting, according to research commissioned by St Pierre Bakery.

根據(jù)圣皮埃爾面包店委托進(jìn)行的研究，普通成年人只要在社交活動(dòng)或會(huì)議中遲到10分鐘，就會(huì)開始感到壓力。

A study of 3,000 American adults found "early is on time," with more than half admitting they are "obsessed" with timekeeping.

一項(xiàng)針對(duì)3000名美國(guó)成年人的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，“早到就是準(zhǔn)時(shí)“，超過(guò)一半的人承認(rèn)他們“癡迷”于記時(shí)。

Anything past 13 minutes is considered "late," and an organized 56% plan ahead to ensure they are never running behind schedule.

超過(guò)13分鐘抵達(dá)，都被認(rèn)為是“遲到”，有組織行為中，其中有56%的人會(huì)提前計(jì)劃，確保他們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)落后于時(shí)間表。

Sixty percent swear by being early, with 39% believing it's socially unacceptable to be late.

60%的人發(fā)誓要早到，39%的人認(rèn)為遲到在社會(huì)上是不可接受的。

Seven in 10 friend groups have a person who is especially known to be late —but less than a quarter admitted they are "that friend."

每10個(gè)朋友群體中就有7人特別喜歡遲到，但只有不到四分之一的人承認(rèn)他們是“那個(gè)朋友”。

A further 47% have even sneakily told a friend that a meeting time was earlier than it was, so if they showed up late they were actually on time.

還有47%的人甚至偷偷跟朋友說(shuō)的會(huì)面時(shí)間，實(shí)際比約定時(shí)間要早一些，所以如果他們遲到了，實(shí)際上是準(zhǔn)時(shí)的。

And it only takes five times of being late for people to feel upset with others.

只要有人遲到5次，人們就會(huì)對(duì)這個(gè)人感到不滿。

More than a third pride themselves on being typically early to scheduled social events or meetings, while 45% are usually "on time" and a 10th are often late.

超過(guò)三分之一的人對(duì)自己提前參加預(yù)定的社會(huì)活動(dòng)或會(huì)議感到自豪，45%的人會(huì)“準(zhǔn)時(shí)”，有十分之一的人會(huì)經(jīng)常遲到。
