一项令人惊讶的新调查显示，近四分之一的成年人不会骑自行车。这项针对2000名英国成年人的调查发现，24%的英国人缺乏这项基本技能，而五年前这一比例仅为八分之一。
Among those who can’t ride a bike, 22% expressed a desire to learn but feel it’s too late to pick up the skill. The research also sheds light on other activities that many Brits struggle with, including rollerblading (46%), swimming (28%), skateboarding (50%), ice skating (43%), and soccer (30%).
在那些不会骑自行车的人中，22%的人表示想学，但觉得学起来太晚了。这项研究还揭示了许多英国人难以开展的其他活动，包括轮滑、游泳、滑板、滑冰和足球。
Fear and embarrassment were cited as the main barriers preventing people from learning new skills. Of those unable to ride a bike, 16% attributed their hesitance to a fear of falling off, while 14% admitted to feeling too embarrassed to learn as an adult. The study found that 52% of respondents (调查对象) believe they lack the necessary skills to engage in new sports, and 42% worry about embarrassing themselves in the process. Lack of motivation (33%) and time constraints (限制) (30%) were identified as additional factors hindering (阻碍) the pursuit of new skills and sports. Furthermore, 27% of respondents believe that their inability to participate in certain activities holds them back in life, while 22% feel societal pressure to excel in these areas.
恐惧和尴尬被认为是阻碍人们学习新技能的主要障碍。在不会骑自行车的人中，16%的人将他们的犹豫归因于害怕摔下来，而14%的人承认作为成年人学习自行车感到太尴尬了。研究发现，52%的受访者认为自己缺乏参与新运动的必要技能，42%的人担心在这个过程中让自己尴尬。缺乏动力和时间限制被认为是阻碍追求新技能和运动的其他因素。此外，27%的受访者认为，他们无法参与某些活动阻碍了他们的生活，而22%的人感到在这些领域出类拔萃的社会压力。
Despite these apprehensions , the study, commissioned by HONOR UK and conducted by OnePoll, highlights the importance of lifelong learning, with 81% of respondents acknowledging the value of acquiring new skills as they age. However, more than half (52%) admitted they would feel stupid trying to learn a new skill at their current age. Surfing (17%), taekwondo (11%), and gymnastics (9%) ranked among the sports they wish they’d taken up early on.
尽管存在这些担忧，这项由HONOR UK委托OnePoll进行的研究强调了终身学习的重要性，81%的受访者承认随着年龄的增长获得新技能的价值。然而，超过一半的人承认，在他们目前的年龄，尝试学习一项新技能会让他们觉得很愚蠢。冲浪、跆拳道和体操是他们希望早点参加的运动。
“People shouldn’t be scared to try a new skill, even if it is riding a bike or engaging in any sport. It can feel scary and embarrassing to try a new sport, but capturing those moments can really help you improve,” says Bond Zhang, CEO of HONOR UK.
“人们不应该害怕尝试一项新技能，即使是骑自行车或参加任何运动。尝试一项新运动可能会让人感到害怕和尴尬，但捕捉这些时刻真的能帮助你提高，”honour UK首席执行官邦德·张(Bond Zhang)说。
