调查：六成人有不能说的秘密

Three in five people have a secret that they dread others finding out, a survey has revealed.

调查显示，每五个人中就有三个人深藏一个害怕被别人发现的秘密。

And researchers found the average person has at least one secret that they have been carrying for 15 years or more. Millions of us have a skeleton in our closet, ranging from affairs or relationships through to secret children or even marriages. Other secrets include shoplifting as a child or getting caught drunk-driving at some point in the past.

研究人员发现，每个普通人都至少有一个隐瞒了15年甚至更久的秘密。数百万人都有不可外扬的秘密，包括婚外情、私生子乃至隐婚。其他的秘密包括幼时入店行窃，或曾经有过酒驾被抓的经历。

The study showed people typically have two secrets hidden away – including an Internet history they are not proud of, debt, sexual turn-ons and phobias they have never shared.

这项研究表明，人们通常会隐瞒两个秘密，包括他们认为不光彩的互联网历史记录、债务、性兴奋和不为人知的恐惧症。

Respondents said the person they most dread unearthing one of the skeletons in their closet is their partner, though a quarter believed their other half would support them if they did find out. Keeping a big secret from mum was also very common. Other secrets included hidden tattoos, poor exam grades and having to pretend to like someone.
