A Third of Brits Are Too Lazy for a 10-Minute Walk
A survey by clothing firm North Face has revealed that a third of Britons are too lazy to take a ten-minute walk. According to The Sun, one in five spends more than 23 hours a day indoors, one in ten never visits the countryside and 37 percent go fewer than three times a year and only 15 percent planned to spend any of the holiday outdoors. The report says that the laziest people are from Midlands but Yorkshire people are considered to be very energetic with only 23 percent using a bus or car instead of walking. Chief Medical Officer* Sir Liam Donaldson recommends at least 30 minutes of exercise five times a week for a healthy body and mind. However, only 25 percent of Brits bother to go to the countryside at weekends compared to 79 percent of Scottish people.
*这里的Chief Medical Officer（首席医疗官）是隶属英国卫生部的一个政府成员，为英国政府的首席医疗顾问及英国所有医务人员业务上的领导。有些企业也有Chief Medical Officer的设置，与此不同。
服装公司“北坡”的一项调查表明：1/3的英国人懒得连走10分钟的路都不愿意。根据《太阳报》的报道，有1/5的人每天呆在室内的时间超过了23个小时，1/10的人从不造访乡间，一年下乡不到3次的人占到了37%，打算到户外度假的人则只有15%。报道说，英国中部地区的人最懒，约克郡的人则很有活力，其中只有23%以公共汽车或轿车代步。首席医疗官赖姆•唐纳森爵士建议人们每星期最少要进行5次30分钟锻炼，以此保障身心健康。但是，只有25%的英国人愿意费神去乡间过周末，而在苏格兰地区这一比例却高达79%。
Remarks：我看这当中的原因倒不见得都是懒——疯狂迷乱的都市丛林正在榨干我们的血肉，我们实在没有时间、也打不起精神去呼吸新鲜空气呀！
