調查顯示 中國女性最捨得爲美花錢!

When it comes to surgical procedures to enhance beauty, Chinese women are twice as generous as their global peers, according to a survey by Insight Engineers, a market research consultancy in the UK.

英國市場研究諮詢公司Insight Engineers近日進行的調查顯示，在通過外科手術提升顏值方面，中國女性的慷慨程度是全球其他女性的兩倍。

The survey found that Chinese women spent the equivalent of about 581 yuan per month. That's more than twice the global average of about 254 yuan, and 145 yuan higher than the second group on the list - women from South Korea.

調查發現，中國女性每月在這方面的開銷相當於581元左右，是全球約254元的平均水平的兩倍多，比整容花銷排名第二的羣體韓國女性高出145元。

Wang Danru, a plastic surgeon from No 9 People's Hospital affiliated to the medical college at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said Chinese women are displaying an increasing interest in surgical procedures, mainly to look prettier, rather than fighting aging, which may help explain why the population of plastic surgery patients in the country is much younger than in other countries.

上海交通大學醫學院附屬第九人民醫院整形外科醫生王丹茹稱，中國女性對外科手術表現出越來越濃厚的興趣，她們主要是爲看起來更漂亮而非對抗衰老，這也許有助於解釋爲什麼中國進行整形手術的羣體遠比別國這一羣體的年齡要低。

74% of Chinese respondents associate beauty directly with facial appearance, the highest of all surveyed countries, according to the survey. The biggest concern for Chinese women is flabby skin and crow's feet.

調查還顯示，74%的中國受訪者將美直接與顏值掛鉤，是受調查國家中比例最高的。而中國女性最擔心的是鬆弛的皮膚和魚尾紋。

The survey interviewed 7,700 "aesthetically aware" women from 16 countries, who were between 18 and 65 years of age.

此次調查共採訪了來自16個國家、7700名年齡在18到65歲之間具有“審美意識”的女性。

Aesthetically aware women were defined as those who gave positive answers to at least two of the three questions, including: "It's important for me to look good for my age"; "I care about improving my facial appearance"; and "Spending money on improving my appearance is worthwhile".

具有審美意識的女性是指在以下3個問題中至少給出2個肯定答覆的人，這些問題是：“對我來說在我的年齡段看起來美麗很重要；我很關心讓自己的臉變得更美；花錢讓自己變得更漂亮是值得的。”

Chinese women's fervor for seeking beauty pushed the country's aesthetic medicine market to 400 billion yuan in 2015. It is projected to soar by 20 percent annually, according to the Chinese Association of Plastics and Aesthetics.

中國女性追求美麗的激情使得中國美容藥品市場規模在2015年達到了4000億元。據中國整形美容協會預測，該市場每年還將以20%的速度增長。
