Men are so reluctant to ask for directions that they will clock up an unnecessary 900 miles – the distance from Land's End to John O'Groats – over a lifetime, researchers say.
研究人员指出,男人因为不愿问路,一辈子会走足足900英里(约合1448.41公里)的冤枉路,相当于从英国南端的兰兹角到北端的约翰欧格罗茨的距离。
On realising they are lost, only 6 per cent check a map or ask for help to avoid extra mileage, a survey showed.
一项调查显示,当发现自己迷路时,只有6%的男人会去查地图或者向他人问路,以免走冤枉路。
And 14 per cent are so stubborn that they soldier on until they find an alternative route, rather than admit they are wrong.
14%的男人很固执,他们宁可硬撑着走下去,直到找到另一条路线,也不愿承认自己走错路了。
Wrong turns and a lack of common sense means that the average British man will needlessly travel an extra 1.5 miles per month before correcting his mistake, clocking up an extra 18 miles per year.
因为转错弯和缺乏常识,英国男性在迷途知返以前平均每月要多走1.5英里,每年则会累计多走18英里。
Over 50 years, that adds up to 13,500 minutes, or 225 hours, wasted needlessly pounding the pavement.
