說到消遣玩樂，顧名思義，就是人在閑暇時間為找樂子而參加的娛樂活動。

隨著時代的變遷，美國人的消遣玩法兒也越來越潮：從早年的集郵、收集模型飛機，到現(xiàn)今的Facebook，steam吃雞。

為了更好地了解21世紀的美國人究竟是如何打發(fā)時間的，留學(xué)通小編特別為您搜集了以下資料

一、Playing or Listening to Music

享受音樂

If Facebook “likes” are any indication, Americans love music. Of the top 30 most “liked” things, 11 are recording artists, and “music” itself has over

32 million fans (as of the time of publication).

美國人對Facebook的癡迷，也無疑反映了其對音樂的熱衷。在全美前30種最受歡迎的大眾愛好之中，有11種是關(guān)于音樂藝術(shù)的，音樂本身就擁有著3200多萬的追隨者。

二、Social Networking

網(wǎng)絡(luò)社交

“Social networks and blogs reach nearly 80 percent of active U.S. Internet users and represent the majority of Americans&apos time online,” the Nielsen

Social Media Report says. Where does America spend its time online? In May 2011, Americans spent 53 billion minutes on Facebook, making it the most

popular U.S. website.

在美國，有近80%的網(wǎng)民會頻繁關(guān)注社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)及個人博客，這占據(jù)了他們大部分的網(wǎng)絡(luò)時間。美國人究竟熱衷于上什么網(wǎng)站呢?

據(jù)統(tǒng)計，在2012年5月一個月內(nèi)，美國人在Facebook上花費的時間總計為530億分鐘，這也使得Facebook成為了美國最具人氣的熱門網(wǎng)站。

三、Computer Games

打電玩

“Currently there are more than half a billion people worldwide playing online games at least an hour a day — and 183 million in the US alone,” writes

Jane McGonigal, author of “Reality is Broken. “The average young person racks up 10,000 hours of gaming by the age of 21. That&aposs almost exactly as much

time as they spend in a classroom during all of middle school and high school if they have perfect attendance. Most astonishingly, 5 million gamers in

the U.S. are spending more than 40 hours a week playing games — the same as a full-time job!”

《打破現(xiàn)狀》一書的作者Jane McGonigal在書中這樣寫到：“目前全球每天有超過5億的人平均每天至少玩網(wǎng)游一小時，僅在美國這一數(shù)字就已達到了1.83億人。

21歲以下的青年人每天消耗在游戲上的時間累積起來竟有1萬小時，這一時間幾乎相當(dāng)于全勤參加初、高中所有課程的時間總和。

更令人震驚的是，在美國，有500萬的鐵桿游戲迷每周玩游戲的時間總計超過40小時，而這一時間也幾乎等同于干一份全職工作付出的時間。

四、Reading

閱讀

Leisurely reading varied drastically by age group. “Individuals age 75 and over averaged 1.1 hours of reading per weekend day,” the ATUS says.

“Conversely, individuals ages 15 to 19 read for an average of 6 minutes per weekend day.”

不同年齡層的人群對閱讀偏好大相徑庭。75歲及以上的老年人每周用于閱讀的時間平均在1.1小時左右，而15至19歲的青年人每周用于閱讀的時間平均僅為6分鐘。

五、Sports and Exercise

做運動

Men are 6 percent more likely to exercise or play sports than are their “better halves.” According to the National Sporting Goods Association, the

activities that both sexes engaged in the most in 2010 were “exercise walking,” exercising with equipment, swimming, bike riding and bowling.

相對于女性而言，男性對運動的熱衷程度要高出六個百分點。據(jù)美國運動器材協(xié)會稱，2010年，有一些運動項目同時受到了男女兩性的青睞，包括徒步行走、器械訓(xùn)練、游泳、單車運動、保齡球。

六、Watching TV

看電視

Americans spend half their leisure time in front of the television, making it the most popular 21st-century “hobby.” According to a report by The

Nielsen Co., 56.4 percent of that time in front of the TV is spent watching reality TV, while only 20 percent is spent watching sports.

美國人有近一半的閑暇時間是在電視機前度過的，也使得看電視成為了21世紀最潮的休閑娛樂。Nielsen公司有報道稱，56.4%的收視率集中在現(xiàn)實型題材的電視節(jié)目，而體育節(jié)目僅為20%。

七、Traveling

旅游

In 2010, Americans took 1.5 billion leisure trips. According to the U.S. Travel Association, the most popular reasons for taking leisure trips are

seeing friends and family, shopping, sightseeing and going to the beach.

2010年一整年，美國人休閑游的次數(shù)累計達到了15億次。美國旅游協(xié)會稱，休閑游受歡迎的原因不外乎走親訪友、異地購物、飽覽景觀以及享受海灘風(fēng)情。

八、Going to the Movies

看電影

Three out of every four Americans go to the movies at least once a year. According to the Motion Picture Association of America, “movie theaters in

U.S./Canada continue to draw more people than all theme parks and major U.S. sports combined.”

四分之三的美國人一年至少去影院看一次電影。美國電影協(xié)會自豪地表示，在美國和加拿大，電影院仍吸引著眾多民眾前來觀賞影視作品，每年來電影院消費的人次要大于去其他劇院和運動場所的人次總和。

九、Shopping

購物

Even though the recession hit retailers pretty hard, the apparel industry is making a valiant comeback — especially through online shopping. In 2010,

Americans spent $186 billion in online transactions.

盡管經(jīng)濟蕭條對零售商的沖擊著實不小，但服裝業(yè)可謂異軍突起，尤其是在網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物上更是實現(xiàn)了銷售大突破。就2010年一年間，美國人的網(wǎng)絡(luò)交易額已達1860個億。

以上就是美國人的業(yè)余愛好留學(xué)通小編就介紹到這里了，想要融入美國生活的你是不是要先了解一下呢？
