每周后悔兩小時：人生最后悔的20件事
Regrets: One in 20 people think they should have married an expartner and 16 per cent feel they wasted years with the wrong partner. 遺憾：20個人中有一個會認為他們應該跟前任戀人結婚，而16%的人覺得他們在錯誤的戀人身上浪費了時間。
Wish you had seen more of the world, exercised more or worked harder at school? Youre far from alone. 是不是希望你能更多看看世界，以前應該多鍛煉，在學校的時候應該更努力呢?不止你一個人這樣想。
It seems most of us carry around a few regrets and we spend more than two hours a week dwelling on them. 似乎大多數人都會有一些后悔的事,而且每周我們會花2小時以上后悔。
A study has found that we typically have six things we would love to change, with the most common cause of remorse being not having travelled enough. 一項研究表明，我們通常都想改變6件事，其中最常見的就是后悔沒有足夠的旅行。
More than half of those surveyed admitted wishing they had made a different life choice at some point, such as having a different career, living somewhere else or marrying someone different. 受訪者中有一半以上的人承認，希望自己在某些時刻做出了不一樣的人生選擇，比如不一樣的職業、住在其他地方，或者跟一個不一樣的人結婚。
A fifth of women regretted wasting time with the wrong partner, compared to 10 per cent of men. 20%的女人后悔跟錯誤的戀人一起浪費了時間，而男人中有10%這么想。
But a quarter of the 2,000 participants said they did not believe it was possible to live a life without regrets, perhaps explaining why, on average, we spend 19 minutes per day or more than two hours a week thinking about things we could have done differently. 2000位調查參與者中，有25%的人表示他們相信人生不可能沒有后悔，這或許就解釋了為什么我們平均每天會花19分鐘(或者說一周花超過2小時)去考慮那些我們不那樣做的事情。 TOP 20 GREATEST LIFETIME REGRETS 人生最后悔的20件事

More than a third of us blame a lack of cash for preventing us from fulfilling our dreams, while 25 per cent think loved ones held us back. But 32 per cent admitted that the blame lay with their own lack of courage, according to the research by the British Heart Foundation. 根據英國心臟基金會的研究，超過三分之一的人抱怨沒錢阻止了自己實現夢想，而25%的人認為愛人妨礙了發展。但32%的人承認自己缺乏勇氣才是主要原因。
Dr Gayle Brewer, senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire School of Psychology, said: There seems to be a certain air of resignation amongst us that living out our dreams may simply not be possible for a variety of reasons. 蓋爾布魯爾是中央蘭開夏大學心理系高級講師，他表示：我們似乎都妥協了，認為我們無法實現夢想的原因有很多。
