假期里,美国人多久就会厌倦他们的家人

It takes less than four hours before Americans need a break from their extended family during the holidays, according to new research.

一项最新调查显示，美国人在节日期间只需要不到四个小时就可以与家人分开。

A survey of 2,000 Americans who are traveling to visit family for the holidays found respondents can spend an average of three hours and 54 minutes with their family before needing a moment to themselves.

一项针对2000名假期探亲的美国人的调查发现，在需要独处的时间之前，受访者与家人平均相处的时间为3小时54分钟。

Three-quarters will hit a point where they need time away from the crowd, and results revealed that respondents can be creative in their ways of escaping.

四分之三的受访者需要远离人群一段时间，结果显示，受访者可以创造性地选择自己的逃避方式。

One in four of those surveyed have hidden in a relative’s house to take a moment alone, while 37 percent have gone so far as to make an excuse and leave the house altogether.

四分之一的受访者曾躲在亲戚家里独处，37%的人甚至找借口离开家。

Ninety-five percent of respondents believe it’s important to spend the holidays with family, and two in five of those planning to stay with family admit that it can be a stressful experience.

95%的受访者认为与家人共度假期很重要，五分之二的计划与家人共度假期的人承认，这可能是一种有压力的经历。

The top reasons respondents stay with family are because it allows them to spend quality time together (60 percent), they enjoy it (53 percent) and because it’s cheaper/convenient (47 percent).

受访者选择与家人呆在一起的最主要原因是这样可以让他们有更多的时间和家人在一起(60%)，他们喜欢这样(53%)，而且这样更便宜/方便(47%)。

Despite that, almost one-third (30 percent) of respondents believe they would enjoy the holiday season more if their family wasn’t all under the same roof, and the same number (30 percent) say their family would actually get along better if they had some space.

尽管如此，近三分之一(30%)的受访者认为，如果他们的家人不在同一个屋檐下，他们会更享受假期。同样比例的人(30%)认为，如果他们有一些空间，他们的家庭实际上会相处得更好。

“We know how important it is to be with family during the holidays, but for those nights when you need to get away, we’ll leave the light on for you with a clean and affordable place to stay,” said Rob Palleschi, chief executive officer at Motel 6.

莫泰6酒店的首席执行官罗布·帕利斯基(Rob Palleschi)说:“我们知道在节假日与家人在一起有多重要，但在那些需要外出的夜晚，我们会为你开着灯，提供一个干净实惠的住处。”

The average respondent is staying with family for three and a half days this holiday season — but the sleeping arrangements might be one reason they’re not staying longer.

一般的受访者在这个假期会和家人呆上三天半，但睡眠安排可能是他们不打算多呆的原因之一。

When hosting family, nearly 40 percent say finding sleeping arrangements is one of the most stressful parts of preparing for guests.

当招待家人时，近40%的人说安排睡眠是为客人做准备时最紧张的事情之一。

That could be because there’s not enough space for everyone: Respondents report an average of two people will end up sleeping on something other than a bed this holiday season.

这可能是因为没有足够的空间容纳所有人:受访者称，在这个假期，平均有两个人会睡在床以外的东西上。

When staying with family, the top concerns were found to be a lack of privacy (22 percent), family getting on respondent’s nerves (20 percent) and drama between family members (20 percent).

调查发现，与家人在一起时，最担心的问题是缺乏隐私(22%)、家人让人心烦(20%)以及家人之间的争吵(20%)。

That’s in addition to feeling like they’re imposing (19 percent) and having the house be too loud or busy (18 percent).

此外，还有19%的人觉得自己让人印象深刻，18%的人觉得家里太吵或太忙。
