根據《美國醫(yī)學會志》昨日新發(fā)布的一項針對性行為的研究顯示，超過四分之一的美國年輕女性并不喜愛性，有時是因為性交帶給她們的疼痛大于快樂。據報道，相比之下年齡稍長的女性在性這方面的問題會少一些。
Billed as the most comprehensive investigation into adult sex habits since the famed Kinsey report of 1948, the survey painted an unexpectedly bleak picture of sexual satisfaction. It suggested that two in every five women and about one-third of men in all age groups experience some form of sexual dysfunction, ranging from lack of desire to attaining an erection and reaching orgasm.
這一調查被宣傳為自1948年著名的金賽報告以來對于成年人性習慣的最全面的調查研究，為性生活滿足度抹上了出人意料的慘淡的一筆。調研顯示，各年齡段中五分之二的女性和大約三分之一的男性經歷著某種形式上的性功能障礙，從性冷淡到無法勃起和達到性高潮。
Most striking are the findings for younger women, aged 18 to 29. According to the survey - conducted by researchers from the University of Chicago and based on interviews with 3,400 adults - 27 per cent get no pleasure from having sex and, if anything, consider it an ordeal. The same view was expressed by 17 per cent of women aged 50- 59.
針對18至29歲年輕女性的調查結果最為驚人。芝加哥大學的研究人員對此進行了調查，與3,400名成年人的面談得出的結果為：27%的年輕女性從性交中得不到快樂，如果有什么的話，也是折磨。17%年齡在50至59歲的女性也表達了相同的觀點。
The findings appear to explode the popular notion that young people, or at least young women, enjoy the hottest sex. "For women, age is not the big deal everyone assumes it is," Edward Laumann, one of the study's author, said yesterday.
這一調查結果似乎推翻了人們對于年輕人，至少是年輕女子喜愛最熱辣性愛的普遍想法?！皩τ谂藖碚f，年齡并不像每個人設想的那么大不了，” 這一調研的發(fā)起人之一愛德華·勞曼昨天說。
In their conclusion, the authors said the results "indicate that sexual problems are widespread in society and are influenced by health-related and psychosocial factors".
在調查結論中，這些發(fā)起人說調查結果“表明性生活問題在社會中廣泛存在，受到了健康相關因素和社會心理因素的影響?！?b style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%" class="label bg2" jquery1323694380349="24">
The report suggests a reality that is at odds with the images of satisfying sex that saturate books, magazines, film and television. "This problem warrants recognition as a significant public health concern," the study asserts.
報告指出了與書籍、雜志、電影和電視中充斥著的性滿足的畫面截然不同的一個事實。“這一問題使得人們將其認為是應關注的重大的公共衛(wèi)生問題，”調查聲稱。
Mr Laumann added that the various difficulties suffered by men, including performance anxiety and premature ejaculation, explains the extraordinary success of the Viagra potency pill. "I think it gives us a base for explaining why we had this enormous response," he said.
勞曼先生補充說，男人所遭受的各種各樣的痛癢，包括表現(xiàn)焦慮和早泄，說明了偉哥效能丸的非同尋常的成功。他說，“我認為這對于我們解釋為何我們有這樣巨大的反應提供了基礎?！?b style="BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%" class="label bg2" jquery1323694380349="26">
Experts yesterday offered an array of possible explanations for the study's gloomy findings, ranging from the modern pressures of work to emotional and health problems as well as fear about sexual diseases, including Aids.
專家們昨天針對這令人沮喪的調查結果給出了大量有可能性的解釋，從現(xiàn)代工作壓力，到情感和健康問題，再到對性傳播疾病的恐懼，包括艾滋病。
